It was my first San Diego Comic-Con, and I had no idea how difficult it could be to get the Con exclusive toys. After waiting at Mattel for almost an hour, I discovered that I was in the wrong line, and could only buy the Batman exclusive. I missed out on Keldor completely.
Now that Keldor is confirmed as a bonus figure in Masters of the Universe Classics, I do feel some anxiety, since MOTUC has been selling out so quickly. Hopefully the adjustments to the production levels will have kicked in by the time Keldor ships in June.
Keldor™ is Coming: Secrets of Skeletor® Revealed!
MOTU Fans,
For longer than we can remember, the background of Keldor™ has been shrouded in mystery… but in preparation of his arrival on June 15th here at MattyCollector.com, we herewith reveal his bio!
Keldor™ was the first figure in the 2002 line aimed directly at collectors, sold first at SDCC in 2003. So, with this amazing figure we have really come full circle. Not only does this bio reveal major secrets from the past of Skeletor®, but Keldor™ also includes a removable cape that can be used for your Skeletor® figures as well! He comes with both halves of the Power Sword® in purple (the only time we will do both halves in purple) and the acid vial that wounded him in battle with his half-brother, King Randor™.
Please note that Keldor™ is a “quarterly” figure and not part of the Club Eternia™ subscription. You can get him for your own at 12:00 Noon Eastern / 9:00am Pacific on Tuesday, June 15th here at MattyCollector.com. If you’re not registered yet for an email reminder, . You can follow me on Twitter where I post reminders, too.

So some Eternians are prejudice against blue skinned people? Is racism the best way Matttel should go with Keldor’s bio? Though it does make Skeletor or more tragic figure and it makes Eternia far more interesting than it just being some perfect society.
I’m getting a vision….of the future…..Mattel will not make enough of this figure to meet fans’ demands. I will be very upset when I can’t buy one….
