Mattel Creations First Product Drop – The Art of Engineering Series

Posted on October 9, 2020 at 12:21 pm by Joe Moore under General Toy News, Girls Toy News, Masters Of The Universe Toy News, Matchbox and Hot Wheels Toy News

Mattel Creations Skeletor 001

Mattel has revealed the first product drop for Mattel Creations. The 75 Years of Art of Engineering Series features crystal clear releases of a few iconic Mattel items, allowing you to see what goes into the creation of a collectible. Included are:

Masters of the Universe Origins Skeletor – $50
We take our action figures seriously. With the Art of Engineering Skeletor® figure, we kept the evil and ditched the purple so you can see what makes the Overlord of Evil tick.

Barbie – $75
She’s known and loved for her fashion, but even in a bathing suit her silhouette is iconic. With the Art of Engineering Barbie doll, we went back to her original design from 1959 and sculpted her iconic ponytail, side-eye, and classic swimwear. The result is unmistakable and timeless.

Hot Wheels Bone Shaker – $75
For the Art of Engineering Collection, we pulled the Bone Shaker® apart and suspended it in acrylic. Now you’ve got a clear look at what makes a legend.

Magic 8-Ball – $50
With the Art of Engineering Magic 8 Ball®, we’ve pulled back the curtain on your favorite fortune teller. All of our engineering tricks are out in the open, but will you still find it magical? “As I see it, yes.”

    I'm not seeing what warrants these prices. Am I missing something or are they really just selling transparent versions for 3 times the original price?

    Also, on the website they say that the 1982 Skeletor figure was designed with 17 points of articulation. Ha. These origins figures only have 16. Unless a double ball peg neck counts as 2 points.

    I think it's 16 and they're counting wrists as 2

    *Forgot the boot swivels so 18...?

    Over 3 times as much with no paint ops.

    Toy companies think collectors are suckers. And they ain't wrong.

    Damn, I love a clear figure. It's one of those collector things I have... It's really hard to understand the price point. It's deja vu with those Lords of PowerCon 2020....Idk. Any answers?
    Of course I bought, once you go MOTU you don't go....back to the way you were...sane.

    Yeah I saw that read it twice to make sure I wasn't hulucinating lol. It also depends on what type of plastic was used and how many different types or colors. Or in this instance different types of shades.
