Mattel Reveals MOTU Masterverse Figures

Today, Mattel held their Virtual Analyst Day Meeting. During the online call, assorted presentations were made by various departments. Among the presentations the very first look at some all-new Masters of the Universe items were revealed! The presentation gives us our very first look at the upcoming Masters of the Universe cartoon, which will be CGI. This is NOT Kevin Smith’s Masters of the Universe: Revelations show (which is tied to the original Filmation series), but an all-new MOTU adventure comingto Netflix. The image shows the new design for both He-Man, and Battle Cat. Even more exciting for collectors is our first look at the Masters of the Universe Masterverse 7″ Scale Action Figures! The image gives us our first look at Hem-Man, Battle Cat, Skeletor, and Evil Lyn. Also revealed is a new MegaConstrux Battle Cat. Here’s what they had to say about MOTU:

“But the blockbuster news of 2021 will be the return of Masters of the Universe. Last year we set the stage with the launch of special action figures and a truly awesome Castle Grayskull targeting fans and collectors. Adding cultural relevance, we collaborated with legendary artist and pop culture icon, Madsaki for a limited-edition collection through Mattel Creations that sold out in minutes.

And this year we go all the way. 2021 will be the first time the franchise has been supported with episodic content in nearly twenty years. And now it’s getting two separate series on Netflix. The first, legendary filmmaker Kevin Smith’s contemporary reimagining, is called Masters of the Universe: Revelation and it already has incredible buzz. Here’s a peek at what’s coming… And we’ll follow this with a new animated series, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe – a fun reboot for kids, bringing in a whole new generation of enthusiasts.

Masters of the Universe has been a top priority since we began leveraging our catalog IP – and we’ve done it right. We’ve built tremendous anticipation and buzz among the many loyal fans of the franchise. We have world-class talent co-creating with us.”

You can check out both images after the jump. We will update with more info as it becomes available.

MADSAKI x MOTU 002

Mattel Creations, a platform where Mattel teams up with artists and designers for limited edition productions, is collaborating with renowned spray paint artist MADSAKI. Together they are releasing a statue featuring a neon colored, spray painted, He-Man and Battle Cat Statue. The statue stands at 16″ tall. they will also be offering apparel and a lunch box featuring MADSAKI’s MOTU art. The MADSAKI X Masters Of The Universe Collection will be available Friday, January 29th at Noon EST via Mattel Creations. Check out some info below, and images after the jump.

MADSAKI x MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE
Contemporary Japanese artist, MADSAKI celebrates his childhood hero (and ours) with this incredible MOTU collection. This limited-edition drop reimagines the iconic elements of Eternia through the eyes of an art world icon, giving MOTU an unexpected, pop-culture twist.

THE MASTERS REMASTERED
When an artist truly loves his subject, it’s obvious. MADSAKI has admired He-man since he was a kid in the 80s. His passion for the most powerful man in the universe can be seen in every vivid color, drippy eye and ironic smile. MADSAKI’s interpretation of MOTU is beyond unique and every piece is a must-have for all He-man fans.

MASTERPIECE OF THE UNIVERSE
Our team of designers couldn’t wait to see the creative energy MADSAKI would bring to He-Man and Battle Cat. His signature neon colors and spray painted details, combined with a massive presence (more than 16 inches) bring an eccentric and oh-so-collectible edge to this iconic pair.

wwe elite kane undertaker 2020

Time for a blast from the past with a set for two WWE Attidue Era legends – 30th Anniversary Undertaker and Decade of Domination Kane! I randomly pop into wrestling figure world, mostly for some good Attitude stuff. I was a kid in the 80s, but I still prefer the late 90s early 2000’s vibe with Stone Cold, the Rock, Taker and Kane, HHH in his DX and Game days, etc. Mattel has put out a couple solid figures recently for Undertaker and Kane, so we are giving them a run.

Undertaker is an Elite figure, packaged in a celebratory 30th anniversary box. He uses the TrueFX digi-print on the face this round which took pretty good engineering the line has always had, and adds that extra pop to really nail the total package. All his sleeves and tats are there, along with his streamlined but still evil look from later in the Attitude run. The jacket and hat are removable. The Jacket looks great on, but it does not move much. Not soft goods – which I like generally, but that stance you see him in the package, that’s pretty much it. Luckily with it off he’s still bad ass. Kane is in the Decade of Domination sub theme, doing superstars from the last 10 years of Mattel’s run on the brand. Kane also gets a TrueFX head sculpt, x 2 – one clean and bald, and one with the messed up hair and dirty face paint from the unmasking.

All in all they are great and are now chilling with my current display squad of Ultimate HHH, Slim Jim Macho Man, SDCC Mr. T, Brood Christian, Defining Moments Stone Cold. Wait how the heck did I start collecting Wrestling figures again, those tricky… Let’s see where this goes.

Both of these are exclusive to Walmart and are trickling out to stores now. Read on to check out shots of them both after the break courtesy of Mattel!

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!
