with Baby Skeletor Doll"},"content":{"rendered":"

\nI have no words. I figure I need to put at least a couple paragraphs beside that Baby Skeletor over there, but really, doesn’t the toy itself just say it all? <\/p>\n

Baby Skeletor<\/a> here is another example of a Robot Chicken skit making it’s way to plastic (though Robot Chicken seems to be specifically not mentioned in the toy’s write-up, cited only as “one of our favorite stop-motion TV shows”). Baby Skels is a full-size baby doll (he appears to use a “buck” from one of Mattel’s many babydoll lines) and includes his Born to Rule TV shirt, a Havoc Rattle, and appears to be either going potty on the packaging or riding Panthor… I’m not sure on that last one. <\/p>\n

Internet reaction has been… what’d you expect. I stand by my usual, buy it & love it or ignore it, but that’s not how the internet works. I won’t be picking this guy up, but Mattel needs to get on some MOTU-inspired baby gear STAT; I want that Rattle. But not for $35 plus shipping… <\/p>\n

Baby Skells will be available during June’s Early Access, Thursday, June 12th 8am PT<\/strong> and then to the general public the following Monday, June 16th 9am PT<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

The Evil Lord of Destruction\u2122 goes back in time\u2026 and turns into an itty bitty blue baby! This tale of a tyrannical tot, an unexpected detour, and buffalo wings comes from the twisted minds at one of our favorite stop-motion TV shows, and was the inspiration for this little guy. A must-have for true MOTUC fans, Baby Skeletor\u2122 measures 12\u201d tall (a total of 15\u201d when sitting on his evil royal potty, including the potty) with articulation at the legs, shoulders and neck, and a face only a mother could\u2026 nope, sorry\u2026 even she thinks he\u2019s hideous. The childish commander and his commode arrive in a unique closed-box throne package, and comes with a removable \u201cBorn to Rule\u201d baby t-shirt and his Havoc Staff rattle. Baby Skeletor\u00ae may seem harmless, but remember\u2026 80% of his body weight is in his horrible head!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
