Is this the show I'm thinking of?

I remember our local Toys R Us having a big display of toys based on a TV show kinda like this. I used to have one; it was a playset that came with some weapons, a stone throne, and a stone doorway with an attached microphone. (Speaking through the microphone synthesized your voice, to lower it and make you sound more like a monstrous dinosaur person from the show.)

Is this the show those toys were from? I can't find those toys anywhere and I'm just curious as to what show they were from.

matt197981 is partially correct, it does sound like a He-Man playset. But it's NOT "the castle where Skeletor lived" (Castle GreySkull, lol). Which never ever came equipped with a voice-changing microphone,as far as I can recall. However, there was a different Masters of the Universe playset that DID come equipped with a voice-changing microphonic device. It was called "Snake Mountain", I believe.

You can see a pic of Snake Mountain on this blog entry called "The 15 Greatest Action Figure Playsets Ever" It's number 4 on the list, from last to first, like Letterman's Top Ten. Check it out:

Nope... that's not it. The toy I'm talking about was basically just a wall with a doorway. It had a separate piece that was a throne. There was also a crude wooden weapon rack with it.

Holy crap, I just found it. It's called Shung's Lair. This article has pictures:
