The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Jerry, has Mattel allowed you any space in their SDCC booth?

Wow. Where were you in the 80s?!? . One of the best villains ever!

As for the bust, looks good and really detailed but I was hoping for more of a Filmation / cartoon style. Purist in me.

I've always thought there was something cool about skeletons, and Skeletor has to be at the top of the list.

Although his cousins Red Skull and Cryptkeer are pretty cool too

But I'm already loving the realism this piece has - the amount and 'anatomy' of the teeth, bone structure, and the 'modern'/fantasy look

These 1:1's are fast becoming my favourite format.. the realism, crazy detail, etc.. they look like 1:1 prop/FX pieces

Agreed, Jerry's company has raised the bar on busts and statues IMO.

The more I look at this piece, the more I like it too.
