Skeletor

SUMMARY:
The Aurimat Skeletor is characterized by pale greenish-blue skin tones and a face paint application that resembles the Hong Kong Skeletor with pointy yellow paint (rather than rounded).  The accessories are a dark grayish-purple or a lighter bluish-purple and are all marked Hong Kong. The figure is found usually marked © Mattel. Inc. 1981, but 1983 marked versions do exist. There’s reportedly a “Mexico” marked Skeletor variant, but that is unconfirmed. Skeletor (just like He-Man) has variations of the hand callus. 

The Aurimat Skeletor was initially released in the first year of the Los Amos del Universo production (1984). The accessories on the first release are semi-rigid, grayish purple, and the right hand has a callus in the right hand for better handling of weapons. The boots are dark purple to match the accessories, and both boots and accessories look black in certain light scenarios. The accessories on this figure can fade to gray tones. 

The following year (1985) the Aurimat Skeletor was released with a less pronounced hand callus, lighter purple accessories that are thinner/more flexible, and what appears to be lighter boots as well (not in all cases).

Skeletor was presumably released for a third wave (1986). The logic would be that it would be without a hand bump. It's believed this is the release with the MEXICO marking in the back. 

The Aurimat Skeletor has 2 main face variations. The first a muted yellow face that I call a “ghost face”, and the second a more vibrant yellow face paint application. Minor face variations seem to exist as well.

Due to heavy color shifting and degradation with the Aurimat Skeletor, it's difficult to know for sure just how many color variations of the accessories are legitimate factory variances and how many are due to color shifting / degradation. Purples fade to blue, black fade to gray, and Aurimat accessories are found along that spectrum.
