Vintage masters of the universe mer-man action figure motu mattel 1982 original

Mer-Man was one of Skeletor's earliest minions. He sought to be Skeletor's equal, and to that end, offered to help Skeletor defeat He-Man in exchange for his weapons, believing they would make him just as powerful as the Lord of Destruction himself. Mer-Man managed to successfully steal He-Man's harness and Power Sword, but was defeated by Stratos. He was later summoned by Skeletor in an attempt to captured Castle Grayskull, managing, along with Beast Man, to knock He-Man unconsious. Mer-Man tossed He-Man's body into the sea, but he survived and returned to defeat Skeletor and his henchmen.
