MOTU Sun Man 12

Mattel officially launched three new MOTU characters, representing different ethnicities with Sun-Man at it’s core.  Sun-Man was revealed last year and made as an exclusive during Power-Con, but now he and his crew are hitting full retail as part of the Origins line.  For those not up on it, Sun-Man was created back in the 80s as an alternative to MOTU to give young kids a hero that looked like them.  40 years later it’s come full circle as he joins the Masters of the Universe.

Mark Taylor RIP 1

This weekend, the toy community lost a true legend. We are extremely saddened to share news that Mark Taylor passed away on Christmas Eve at the age of 80. His cause of death was listed as “congestive heart failure”. You may or may not know Mark Taylor by name, but any toy collector will be instantly familiar with his work. Mr. Taylor was instrumental in creating the Masters of the Universe toy line for Mattel in the early 1980’s. His wife shared the news via Facebook early on December 24th:

Rebecca Salari Taylor
December 24 at 6:31 AM ·
Mark Taylor passed away peacefully this morning at home.
I felt him say goodbye to this world as I held him in my arms for one final loving kiss.

His designs of a heroic barbarian facing off against mystical evil beings became the heart of the franchise. His influence on the Masters of the Universe (MOTU) brand spanned decades. Over the years, as new designers took on the brand, and new iterations of MOTU were realized, more and more of Mr. Taylor’s designs would be brought to life in new and exciting ways. Masters of the Universe was far from the only toy line that he worked on. He was a key designer for the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toy line for Playmates Toys, and worked on packaging for multiple other lines.

More recently, Mark Taylor was working with Formo Toys. They are scheduled to launch a new line of Masters of the Universe inspired figures known as Lords of Power (one of the original name proposals for MOTU). Announced back in October, the new line of figures will bring to life some of Mr. Taylor’s original MOTU designs.

We send our heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of Mark Taylor.

MOTU Revelation Savage He Man and Orko 001

Official photos have been released for the upcoming Masters of the Universe: Revelation – Savage He-Man and Orko 7″ Scale Figure Set. The set is part of the Masters of the Universe Masterverse line up. Savage He-Man goes back to both a promotion from the 80’s, where you would get an unarmored He-Man figure, and the classic mini comics. In those comics, He-Man was a tribal barbarian warrior seeking to protect Eternia. The second part of Masters of the Universe: Revelation, which begins November 23rd, will highlight this more primitive He-Man. And for those wondering, it will indeed be Prince Adam behind this powerful version of He-Man. From Mattel:

“For years it was assumed that Prince Adam could only call upon the Power of Grayskull using the Sword of Power, but Adam himself always wondered what would happen if he called upon the power without the sword. We now know the answer: Savage He-Man.

With the full Power of Grayskull unleashed inside him, Adam gains a combination of primal rage and all of the power in the universe – the raw fury, the brutal strength, and the unbridled speed of ten He-Men! But without the Sword of Power to temper these mighty forces, Savage He-Man is all strength with no intellect to control it. The barbarian version of our hero leaves his friends wondering if Adam is truly present within the transformed beast, as he tears through Eternia in an uncontrolled frenzy. Luckily, Adam at his core possesses innate compassion, humility, goodness that rivals the Power of Grayskull itself. Only the Prince of Eternia could wield such Power and be both willing and able to relinquish it once the battle is won.”

The set is scheduled to release at some point in 2022. You can see the new photos after the jump.
