Masters of the Universe

An original pistol used in the production of the 1987 science fantasy picture Masters of the Universe starring Dolph Lundgren.

This Skeletor trooper pistol is constructed from cast resin rather than the much more common rubber stunt versions and is highly detailed with a black painted and weathered finish to resemble metal with silver highlights and red detailing above the handle, this red detailing can be seen on screen in a number of close up shots of the weapons and was not a feature of the more basic stunt pistols.

The weapon measures an impressive 16" long and remains in good condition with some light wear production use and a light crack to the handle although this does not compromise the solidity of the pistol. Some of the fin details to the back of the weapon have been glued back on with one lacking revealing the cream resin. Despite not being intended for stunt use a very similar weapon with red highlights can be seen used as a trooper goes flying through the air in the music shop so these were likely also used in stunt scenes.

An impressive and displayable weapon from this now cult 1980s movie.
