Shokoti (Masters of the Universe Classics)


In part two of "House of Shokoti" we meet the evil sorceress for whom the episode is named. She communes with a Lovecraft-esque "Sleeping Beast" (well as Lovecraftian as you can get on Saturday Morning TV in the 80's) and a disobedient boy named Stanlan learns a lesson. Shokoti has a simple design but it works well enough. I like the black abyss of her eyes and the skull on her belt. The red cape pops with the blue of her skin. Her hands are clearly meant to hold a sword or something but she doesn't come with anything to hold. A quirky figure of an obscure villain.









Her headdress is an attempt to at something Kirby-like but it lacks the grandeur of Hela or Big Barda.


Belt Buckle of the Golden Skull.





She's either saying "I'm so tough!" or "I think Ram-Man is a little gassy."

"Who has two thumbs and was buried in a desert for centuries? This gal!"





A nameless monster thing that was zipping around the "House of Darkness" in the background.

The single eye and multiple mouths are sufficiently eerie but not overtly frightening.






I'm actually fairly impressed with its ability to balance on its tentacles.


"Thumbs down for He-Man!"

"Eeeyy..."


The whole doomed family.
