Sword-wielding barbarian hero, spaceships, scary skeleton villain, green tiger. It feels like a toy company took a bunch unused action figure ideas and said “make a cartoon out this so we can sell them.”

Why not Space Ghost? That would cooler.

Omg that makes so much sense! I was always like “wtf is this place even meant to be?” - though it does kind of have the vibe of 80s Flash Gordon.

That is literally what it was. It was commisioned by Mattel to sell the toy line after the FCC relaxed regulations on marketing to kids.

Yeah I had no idea there were spaceships in this until I saw the trailer. I assumed it was basically a kid friendly Conan
