Description

One of the most iconic images from the Masters of the Universe comes to life in this interactive playset by Mattel. The Castle Grayskull playset contained many interactive features to keep kids busy for hours on end. Such features included a trap door that is activated when the throne is rotated, a working elevator, a lockable drawbridge door, and a laser canon mounted on the roof. The set also includes a weapons rack which had several weapons only released in this set, as well as recolored weapons released with figures from the line.
