Rarity & Significance
Common as an individual part, but highly sought after as a replacement piece. Because it was designed to be removed and was not permanently attached to the playset, it is one of the most frequently lost items from the 1982 Castle Grayskull set.
Special Features
Features a battle-damaged 'breakout' design with crenelations at the top to match the castle's parapets.
Notable Variations
Color variations exist ranging from a lighter grey to a darker charcoal grey depending on the year of production and factory (USA vs. Taiwan). Some later reissues or Commemorative editions (2001) used a slightly different plastic density.
