If you were born after the 1990s, there’s a good chance SKELETON WARRIORS means absolutely nothing to you. For those of us who remember Saturday mornings before every piece of entertainment was available at the push of a button, however, the name brings back some seriously cool memories.
Now the skeletons are getting another shot at life.
The Four Horsemen, the creative team behind Mythic Legions, Cosmic Legions and countless other highly detailed collectible figures, have teamed with Lay/Carnagey Entertainment to resurrect the classic SKELETON WARRIORS toy line. We got an up close look at the new figures during San Diego Comic Con 2026, and seeing these things in person made it pretty damn clear that the Horsemen aren’t treating this like a simple nostalgia cash grab. They are detailed, gritty, and just scary enough for all fans to really get a feel of the show and what these figures represent.
For anyone who missed the original series, SKELETON WARRIORS was a 1994 animated action horror and science fantasy series that ran on CBS. Unfortunately, the show only lasted one season and 13 episodes, airing from September through December 1994.
The story took place on the planet Luminaire, where the powerful Lightstar Crystal was shattered during an attempted theft by the villainous Baron Dark. The crystal’s power transformed Dark into a living skeleton and gave him the ability to transform others into Skeleton Warriors. Prince Lightstar and the Legion of Light were left to fight Dark and his undead army while attempting to recover the other half of the crystal.

It was a strange combination of fantasy, science fiction, horror and toy commercial, which, let’s be honest, was pretty much the recipe for a lot of our favorite 1990s cartoons.
The new Infinite Legions SKELETON WARRIORS collection brings that aesthetic into the modern collector market with significantly more articulation and customization than the original figures could ever offer.
The first wave includes Dr. Cyborn, Aracula, Bone Zai and Claw, with each figure standing approximately 7 to 8 inches tall. All four use the Four Horsemen’s Legions Build System, allowing collectors to separate and recombine parts between figures and even incorporate pieces into other Mythic Legions and Cosmic Legions characters.
That’s where these get particularly interesting.
DR. CYBORN
Dr. Cyborn stands approximately 7 inches tall and features around 27 points of articulation. The figure comes with seven interchangeable hands, including cybernetic and skeletal options, along with an acid blaster, skull pistol, blaster, mace, interchangeable leg armor, an articulated skull and a wired soft goods cape.
The sculpting is absolutely loaded with little details, and the combination of skeletal and mechanical elements gives Cyborn exactly the kind of bizarre science fiction horror aesthetic that made the original property stand out.
ARACULA
If you want the big monster of the first wave, Aracula is probably the one.
The deluxe figure stands approximately 8 inches tall and features roughly 51 points of articulation, along with three sets of interchangeable arms and eight swappable hands. He’s also armed with a taratul axe, spider blaster, shield and multi headed mace.
The removable armor pieces feature vac metal finishes, while the articulated jaw adds another layer of personality to what is already one seriously strange looking creature.
BONE ZAI
Bone Zai stands approximately 7 inches tall with around 28 points of articulation. The figure includes multiple interchangeable hands, a putrid pole chopper, a skele samurai sword and scabbard, along with removable shoulder armor.
The samurai influence is particularly cool, giving Bone Zai a completely different silhouette from the other characters in the wave.
CLAW
Then there’s Claw, another approximately 7 inch figure with 27 points of articulation.
He comes equipped with dual blaster pistols, a claw grapple rifle, hammer and removable fur back covering. Like the rest of the wave, Claw can be broken down and rebuilt using the Legions system, allowing collectors to recreate the skeleton warriors exploding apart and reassembling, a signature feature from the original cartoon.
And that is probably what impressed us most when we saw these at SDCC.
The Four Horsemen clearly understand why these characters were memorable in the first place, but they aren’t simply recreating 1990s toys with modern paint applications. The sculpting, articulation and customization take the original concepts and turn them into legitimate modern collectibles.
Preorders for the first wave are now open directly through the Four Horsemen Shop, with a special direct order discount running through August 23, offering savings of $10 to $15 per figure.
Four Horsemen Skeleton Warriors Collection
For those of us who remember SKELETON WARRIORS, this is one of those unexpected pieces of 1990s nostalgia that we didn’t realize we needed until we saw it standing in front of us.
The original cartoon may have disappeared after 13 episodes, but the designs clearly still have some life left in them.
