Description[]
This monster truck is a caricature of Skeletor from the Masters of the Universe franchise. This version features a significantly different appearance than the Skeletor Character Car, instead opting to feature a design involving more of Skeletor's aesthetics.
According to designer Charlie Angulo, the Character Car's original body was initially considered for use, but didn't seem to fit as well on the Monster Truck chassis and "didn't look as cool"; an entirely new body would be used instead as Mattel had the opportunity to create an all new tool.
