No doubt, what we see here is a predecessor to Skeletor as well, and the many KOs that followed him. Howard - the guy who originally invented the Serpent Men and the whole вЂњHyborianвЂќ universe (that is ConanвЂ™s and King KullвЂ™s universe) as early as in the 1930s - Thulsa Doom is described as a muscular man, but with a face like a bare white skull. In the original pulp fictions by Robert E.

Movie Thulsa Doom and Serpent Men in a Kull comic. In the вЂ82 Conan movie, Thulsa Doom is introduced as a guru of a snake cult, who can transform his body into a snake.

ItвЂ™s depicting ConanвЂ™s archenemy Thulsa Doom, the evil sorcerer and sometimes leader of a humanoid snake race, called the Serpent Men.

The predecessors of the Snake Men appear in the very same period, inВ the epic Kull and Conan comic series by Thomas, Buscema, and Chan from the 70s. Muscle Warriors Snaker (?), and Galaxy Fighters Kobraa. FrazettaвЂ™s paintings of sword swinging barbarians in loincloths, especially for the Conan franchise, seem to be the archetypes of He-Man and his many knock-off brothers. I think you cannot underestimate FrazettaвЂ™s impact on the whole muscular sword and sorcery genre.

There is this great article I found on the web, called the вЂњ Frazetta ConnectionвЂќ, pointing out the influence of FrazettaвЂ™s work on the Galaxy Warriors toyline. The muscular 80s toy genre is also massively influenced by the fantasy art of the 70s. Names like Venom (MASK), Cobra (GI Joe), and the Snake Men (MotU) leave no doubt about the viciousness of their holders, and the necessity of some good guys to kick their butts. I think the main reason why theyвЂ™ve been so popular in the 80s is that to Christian affected westerners, snakes have always been a symbol of the ultimate evil. Well, snakes are an archetype of villainy and have been used in the conceptualization of pop culture toys over and over again. When it comes to snake headed muscle men, what might these traditions be? All those muscular sword and sorcery toylines from the 80s didnвЂ™t invent anything new, they just adapted or enhanced what was already there. In some ways the вЂњoriginalsвЂќ are knock-offs, too. They can be as innovative as the so called вЂњoriginalsвЂќ. This also shows that KO lines arenвЂ™t just cheap вЂњcopiesвЂќ all the time. It rather appears that Mattel was inspired by the Sungold, Sewco, and Remco designs, in order to create their own snake headed action figures.

ThatвЂ™s even two years earlier than MotUвЂ™s Kobra Khan, who was released in вЂ84, when the Snake Men didnвЂ™t even exist among the MotU franchise yet.ДЄlso Galaxy WarriorsвЂ™ Sahak (вЂ83) and Galaxy FightersвЂ™ Kobraa (вЂ84) seem prior to the вЂњoriginalвЂќ MotU Snake Men. Ironically, most of Snake Men вЂKOsвЂ™ came out earlier than the вЂњoriginalsвЂќ. I think everybody is familar with King Hiss and his snake faced evil fellowship, the Snake Men, that came out from вЂ86 to вЂ87 as part of the Masters of the Universe toyline.
