Skeleton Warriors is a 13-episode cartoon series created by Landmark Entertainment Group, which originally aired in 1994 on CBS.
An incredible merchandising rollout followed with Skeleton Warriors appearing on clothes, trading cards, bedsheets, lunchboxes and so much more.
The cartoon also spawned a toyline created by Playmates Toys, a comic book limited series created by Marvel Comics and the Skeleton Warriors video game for the Sega Saturn and PlayStation consoles developed by Neversoft and published by Playmates Interactive.

As a kid this was the best show I never got to see. I stubbled across the Skeleton Warriors coloring book at the dollar store and convinced my mom to buy it for me. I poured over those images for hours and imagined how awesome the cartoon must be. I was never able to catch an episode. I'm sure it was already cancelled, hence why the merch was at the dollar store. At least I've got the entire toy line now!

Tony Jay voicing the Golden Skull really elevated the series. He set the darker tone of the series and he wrapped up each adventure not with a moral so much as the theme, what this week's story dealt with and what it could mean in the future. He was easily one of the most interesting characters despite only appearing at the very start and the very end.

I honestly think Grimskull was everyone's favorite character. Being trapped in a half undead body as a punishment for betraying his brother, yet contantly trying his best to resist Baron Dark's influence and seeking redemption is what made him so memorable, and even relatable in a way. Such well written characters were not terribly common back then, which is why I loved him as a kid.

The problem with the Skeleton Warriors figures was they never saw a wide release and the second series figure with the humans only got released in test markets in places like Ohio and a few other states from what I remember. I was working for KBTOYS at the time and they came into the stores on serious clearance and I dont think the human characters ever showed up at all. Really sad cuz the toys were excellent for the time and could be stripped down pretty easily and used for other skeleton related projects.

I thought they were not as popular as Power Rangers.

One season and one toy line should tell you something.

Sadly, this was one of those that because it didn't do "amazing" in the US, everyone else suffered. Literally every kid in my school loved the show. If not the toys.

I really liked the show! The idea of a hero being responsible for the main problem and even scarred by his choices was pretty daring and remains almost unique.

OK , I watched this about a week ago and it just hit me. I am completely convinced the failure of this was the inspiration of the movie " small soldiers"

Skeleton Warriors had too much royal nepotism for the hero side. He-Man's allies came from all over Eternia. Both shows could have used more female heroes. But Skeleton Warriors didn't even put their female hero in the toy line. So the entire line ended up with only 3 heroes. Just like Sectaurs and Visionaries. I think the "no girls allowed" policy hurt the toy line.

The token girl action figures are always among the lowest selling. It's just as well though, since very few girls would've been interested in a toys called "Skeleton Warriors", and for those who would, they'd rather play with the skeletons (just like the boys).

Okay, I just recently ran across your channel. I'm hooked. The nostalgia trips alone are fun, but the fact that you guys research the hell out of these things just shows me how much you love the subject matter. That, and just rolling with some of the goofs just adds more fun. "There's... Plenty to goaround." The Shat would be proud. Or pissed. Meh.. lol

As always thank you for this. Enjoyed the toys and thought the comic books were pretty well written.

I can tell you exactly why the toyline failed. However beautifully sculpted the skeletons were, the figures were incapable of standing upright. Even the figures shown in the commercial segment were filmed against a wall for support.
