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!

MOTU Origins Splash

Masters of the Universe is back on retail shelves with the new line from Mattel titled Masters of the Universe Origins (MOTUO).  The line debuted last year at SDCC with a launch 2 pack featuring He-Man and Prince Adam in a sweet box (see our gallery here).  Now the first round are hitting Wal-Marts exclusively with the intent to release via more retailers next year.

The Origins line over all is a re-imagining of vintage He-Man figures with updated articulation and paint.  Each now get removable hands, joints in the elbows and knees, swivels at the boots, neck and ankle articulation. All while keeping the basic form factor from the original toys.  Packaging is also a vintage throwback.  The basic bodies and gear are also used on the MOTWWEU cross over figures.

We have a batch of the first round in hand.  He-Man, Skeletor, Battle Cat, Prince Adam and the Sky Sled are all available after the break.  We also got our hands on the Eternia Minis, which are blind box style figures in  a plastic Castle Grayskull shell.  These are even smaller versions of the MOTU minis from 2013(ish), (see our gallery for the SDCC set here).  Read on to check it all out courtesy of Mattel!
