Evil-Lyn lost the skull on her helmet, and the decoration on her costume was simplified. The final design that Filmation went with was somewhat simplified. I would guess that the colors in this depiction are what Colin originally had in mind, but the colors were altered at some point during the development of the toy. In the Filmation Series guide, Evil-Lyn is very reminiscent of Colin Bailey’s concept artwork, including the short wand. In the series, Evil-Lyn always reminded me a lot of Ursa from the 1980 film, Superman II (we watched this many times on the old video disc player). This version is likely a prototype – the details on her face seem more refined than the mass-produced toyĪs I mentioned earlier, my first introduction to Evil-Lyn was through the Filmation cartoon. This ability gives the character some nice symmetry with Filmation’s version of the Sorceress.Īlthough Evil Lyn appears in the 1983 Mattel Dealer Catalog, she doesn’t show up in mini comics until the 1984 lineup. In both the Kid Stuff audio book and the Golden Books story, The Sunbird Legacy, Evil-Lyn has the power to transform into Screeech, the barbarian bird: Evil-Lyn transforms into Screech, who in this image resembles a buzzard rather than an eagle or falcon. In early stories, Evil-Lyn is sometimes described almost as an old crone – certainly that’s the case in the 1983 Kid Stuff Masters of the Universe audio book. The cross sell art is pretty faithful to the final toy: Evil-Lyn cross sell art. The shorter neck version appears in the final colored illustration.Įrrol also illustrated the character for one of Mattel’s licensing kits: In the black and white versions of the same illustration (below), you can see that Errol tried out a couple of looks for He-Man: one with a shorter neck, and one with a longer neck. Note that in the above Errol McCarthy illustration, Evil-Lyn carries the short wand from the original concept art. Strangely, there is no mention of this feature on the packaging, which seems like a missed opportunity. Evil-Lyn’s wand was molded in glow-in-the-dark plastic. The toy was packaged on the standard card, with a very nice illustration by Errol McCarthy on the back. Mattel never filed a trademark claim on Sultra, but they did file one for the name Evil-Lyn on Jan 21, 1983. It might be worth noting that the Sultra drawing is dated October 5, 1982. The original working name for Evil-Lyn was “Sultra”. Some of that did end up in the final toy’s face: The artist mentions that Evil Lyn’s face should resemble Sophia Loren, or at least mimic her expression. The size was no doubt increased in order to reduce the likelihood of it becoming a choking hazard. The version that came with the toy was more of a short staff than a wand. Notice the very short wand in the above concept illustration. Her name is hyphenated, just as it was in the earliest mini comics. Having said that, Evil-Lyn was designed by Mattel artist Colin Bailey, who also designed Trap Jaw and Buzz-Off.

Skeletor was responsible for kidnapping Prince Adam's sister Princess Adora from the Eternos Palace and would offer her to Hordak. Skeletor would then try many times to conquer Eternia, but would fail everytime. This drove Keldor insane, and he renamed himself Skeletor.

Hordak then fused Keldor with the demonic Demo-Man. Hordak agreed but only under the condition that Keldor would later help him escape from his ethereal prison. His partner, Evil-Lyn would plead with the extra dimensional being, Hordak, to help save Keldor's life. During the battle Keldor's face was severely burned by acid, and he was left on the verge of death. When the time came for Keldor's conquest, he found Randor and his forces awaiting him. After feeling cheated from the throne by Randor, he would flee his home and raise an army to one day come back and conquer Eternos. Skeletor was originally known as Keldor, brother of King Randor, and uncle of Prince Adam aka He-Man.
