The Battle Armor Skeletor USA can be identified by its bold yellow face mask, dark green outer mask, and blue/red eye paint application. The chest emblem is pink, with a neon green outline and bright silver battle damage slashes. The torso has purple tones, and the purple boots have a fish-hook paint motif.
Marked © MATTEL INC. 1981. 1983 U.S. PAT. PEND. U.S.A., the figure comes in 2 distinct variants. The French-style torso variant, and the Taiwan-style torso variant.
The French-style torso variant has narrow shoulders, and a face application with sharp, yellow face paint and a blueish hood. The Taiwan-style torso variant has wider shoulders, with the arm joints extending out from the torso. The face application has rounder, yellow face paint on a purple hood. The French-style torso variant is essentially a Mexico-Marked BA Skeletor, except for the USA marking.
Both variants share the same weapons. A sword marked USA (with SKU and a 30 or 31 batch number), and a no COO staff, except for 2 digit batch number (30 or 31). Both weapons are gummy and flexible.
