@oriskany – I’ve now got two printed! One at the local Eagle Lab, the other I just about squeezed out of my own little printer (the quality of Castle Blueskull is nowhere near that of it’s green cousin, but it’ll do).

Each of the “major” sections – the skull face, the two halves of the rock base, the top rounded “crown” – took around four-and-a-half hours to print each. I just set the printer going, left it, returned to after work (after setting it running in the morning) or in the morning (if left to run overnight) and checked out what had been produced (on more than one occasion it was a pile of plastic spaghetti!)

I was never really a massive fan of He-man; I always wanted Star Wars figures as a kid but when He-man first came out in about 1981 there were only seven main characters to collect (whereas Star Wars was already onto it’s second film and about 150 figures by this time!). I got my first He-man figure for my b’day in the early 80s – they’d sold out of He-man and Skeletor so for two months Man-at-Arms took on the awesome might of a Lego starfighter all on his own 😉

I just thought those Master of the Universe minis from Quest Miniatures on Etsy looked so cool (and nostalgic) and it was in response to a forum post I bought some. Damn you, BoW forums…..
