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.”

x motu wwe 4

Masters of the WWE Universe (MOTWWEU) – the crossover line featuring wrestling superstars in vintage MOTU bodies is back with a 4th wave and no sign of slowing down! This round again features a mix of legends and current stars – Jake The Snake Roberts, Mr. T, The Fiend and Seth Rollins all get a turn. Jake The Snake features a battle armor chest plate, his trusty Snake, and removable Jake face revealing a Snake Face homage underneath. Mr. T homages Jitsu with a golden gauntlet and chest armor, plus one more Fisto gauntlet for the other hand. The Fiend gets a boss leather jacket and Trap Jaw weapons for his hands. Lastly Seth Rollins gets Zodak chest armor and a Draego-Man sword.

All in all a great wave. Mr. T in this style of figure is pure win, it oozes 80s all over the place. Jake The Snake is also executed perfectly, the hidden Snake Face deco underneath just nails it. The Fiend pretty much doesn’t need a homage, he belongs in Eternia already. Seth Rollins is clean and good for the younger generation. Once again, lots of molding for future MOTU Origins figures are worked in here if they decide to go that deep with it.

We’ve run the wave after the break, check out 30 HD shots courtesy of Mattel!

Power Con 2020 Online

Over the weekend, Power-Con announced an online event in place of the cancelled Power-Con 2020. They will be offering a mix of reveals, teasers, panels, and info about the Masters of the Universe and Princess of Power toy lines. There will be a Grayskull Treasure Room, where fans can browse for the new announcements and teasers. then there will be a Panel Room, where fans can check out live videos with the guests for Power-Con 2020. The event will take place this weekend, on both August 8th and 9th. Check out the full details below.

As we teased before, a Power-Con online event is coming next weekend, August 8th & 9th! This free online event will have two features.

The first is a Grayskull Treasure Room. This is an online room that you can explore to find images of and videos about upcoming Masters of the Universe product, along with some teasers and new reveals.

The second is our online panel room. Using Zoom, there will be several panels each day. Each will give you an intimate look at what’s coming for He-Man and the Masters! In addition, each panel will feature a Q&A session at the end for fans. Please note that due to time limitations, panelists may not be able to answer all questions.

In the interest of transparency, this experience is new for all of us. There may be some hiccups as we try this for the first time. And we’ll learn from this one what works, and what else you’d like to see added. If it goes well, this could be something we add to future Power-Con events for a nominal fee. But we’re giving you this first one for free!

We will have more information this coming week, along with any free registration requirements needed in order to participate. This event will only last the weekend and will be the only opportunity to see some content, as not all of it will be reposted online. In addition, fans who join us for the panels will be entered into a prize raffle. Each panel will have its own raffle so you have multiple chances to win. You don’t want to miss out!

So what about the Power-Con exclusives? We have a couple updates for those.

The most common question that we currently receive is “What will the packaging look like?” Some time this coming week, Mattel will do online reveals for the Power-Con exclusive packaging. So be sure to follow them on their various social media accounts so you don’t miss out:
Instagram
Facebook
Twitter

Also, we have an update on shipping for the exclusives. As we forewarned, there might be a delay due to all that’s going on in the world. That has turned out to be the case. We now expect to receive the Power-Con exclusives this November. Once received, all exclusives will be shipped from November through December. Once shipped, arrival time will depend on the speed of USPS or the postal courier in your country. We apologize for the delay and we appreciate your patience and understanding.

We will post more updates as we have them. And we look forward to seeing you online next weekend, August 8th & 9th!
