x Shogun Masters Skeletor 61

This one came out of left field this weekend – a nice promotional box from Mattel arrived hyping their new Shogun Masters line with none other than Skeletor! This is a re-imagining of the Shogun Warriors line that Mattel did in the 70s which imported Japanese mecha under one banner here in the US, but with a Masters of the Universe theme. What would happen if Skeletor got his hands on Shogun tech? Here you go.

We’ve run the figure for a full set of pics after the break, read on for those and some additional thoughts. The figure will be going up on MattelCreations.com and is listed as “soon” in the UP NEXT category. Keep your eyes peeled for the drop!

UPDATE:
The product page is now live at Mattel Creations.

NECA Universal Monster Press Release

Back in February, the first Universal Monsters Ultimate Figure, the iconic Franekstein’s Monster, went up for pre-order from NECA Toys. Over the last few months, we’ve seen some hints and teasers at additional figures in the line. such as The Mummy and The Wolf Man. Today, NECA has officially announced the Universal Monsters license, as well as plans for upcoming figures in the line. The press release confirms that the line kicks off with Frankenstein, and will be followed by The Mummy and The Wolf Man. The biggest news, however, is that they will be producing a Dracula figure featuring the likeness of Bela Lugosi! You can find the press release below.

UNIVERSAL MONSTERS ACTION FIGURES COMING IN 2021 FROM NECA!

New line of detailed figures includes collaborations with some of the world’s most iconic horror actors

HILLSIDE, NJ, April 19, 2021 – U.S.-based National Entertainment Collectibles Association (NECA) has announced plans for its full line of Universal Monsters action figures. Working closely with Universal Brand Development, LUGOSI LLC, and Chaney Entertainment, the figures will capture the horror world’s most iconic figures in NECA’s long-running Ultimate format.

The first figure (arriving in July) will be Frankenstein’s Monster from Frankenstein (1931), which celebrates its 90th anniversary this year. The sculpt captures Boris Karloff’s poignant portrayal of the misunderstood monster in authentic black-and-white. A color version of the figure will follow.

Subsequent figures set for 2021 will include Lon Chaney Jr. as the Wolf Man from The Wolf Man (1941), Boris Karloff as the titular figure in The Mummy (1932), and Bela Lugosi as the legendary Count in Dracula (1931).

“We are proud to be working with NECA to include Bela Lugosi as Dracula as an Ultimate figure,” said Lynne Lugosi Sparks, CEO of LUGOSI LLC. “NECA’s attention to detail is amazing and we are happy to celebrate the 90th anniversary of Bela Lugosi’s iconic screen performance as Dracula with this figure.”

NECA’s Ultimate format is a favorite among collectors for its complete portrayal of a character with a wide array of alternate heads, hands, and accessories so that many iconic moments from the movie can be recreated. The 5th-panel packaging also allows collectors to remove and replace without damaging the packaging.

“As a lifelong fan of Universal Monsters, this is a dream come true,” said Randy Falk, NECA VP & senior director of product development. “I’ve been collecting Universal Monsters toys since I was a kid. This line aims to create something hyper-realistic and ultra-detailed for people like me who grew up watching these amazing movies and have always longed for definitive versions.”
