Scareglow...Is That Your Boy?

Boo!

Coming later this month to mattycollector.com is the hotly anticipated Masters of the Universe Classics figure, Scareglow. Scareglow has always been a mysterious character, due to the fact that his appearances in MOTU have been scarce. He was released at the end of the 1980's toyline and was never actually in the Filmation cartoon. He was also never included in the 2002 relaunched series. His sole appearances to date have been in a few comics.

Ali G once asked the important question: Why is all skeltonz involved in evil stuff?

On top of that, he was confusingly listed as The Evil Ghost of Skeletor in his vintage release. People can be forgiven for wondering if he was actually somehow Skeletor's ghost. After all, there is somewhat of a resemblance around the eyes. However, as often happens, the collective imagination of the fandom is better than the people who write the stories, and now Scareglow is listed as The Evil Ghost Serving Skeletor. So instead of being Skeletor's ghost from the future, he's just some ghost who works for Skeletor. And happens to look like him.

"Hello, my name is Scareglow. I'll be serving you tonight. Can I start you off with any drinks or appetizers?"

As with the original figure, Scareglow features a glow in the dark skeleton design painted on a black body. The effect is something like that of a large muscly man who is wearing a skintight skeleton Halloween costume. He was originally going to dress as the Joker, but that's kind of played out.

What the hell does a ghost need bones for, anyway?

Scareglow goes on sale at 12PM shart on November 15th at mattycollector.com. The He-Man figure released in January will also be reissued that day. Scareglow should be a big seller so I wouldn't wait too long to grab him. That is, unless you are too scared.

Fun fact: Back in the '80's, when he still had his Gheri curls, he was known as Soul Glo.
