Power Con was supposed to happen this weekend, but alas, we had an awesome online panel with tons of juicy reveals for the future of the Masters of the Universe brand, and all we can say is: IL LOOKS EFFIN' LIT! So, get your read on:
MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE MINIS:
Announced were Wave 3 which will be Slime Pit themed and Wave 4 which will be based in Anti-Eternia. Also shown were the Roton with Skeletor and Road Ripper with He-Man mini vehicles which WILL NOT be blind boxed.
Multi Packs will also be offered via Walmart and Diamond Distribution.
MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE ORIGINS
New core characters were shown for the Masters of the Universe Origins line including (From left to right) Mer-Man, Stratos, Roboto (With Spinning gears) and Ninjor!
They will be available this spring.
Mattel also debuted new Origins Deluxe figures Including Battle Armor He-Man, Battle Armor Skeletor, Clamp Champ and Ram-Man!! They will all include Mini-Comics.
RISE OF EVIL!!
Target exclusive! (I can hear you punching your screen already) Keldor and Kronis will be coming in a 2 pack that will leave your wallet $29.99 dry.
PANTHOR CONUNDRUM!
Mattel clarified that TWO versions of Panthor will be available: The Non Flocked version for $24.99 and the flocked version which will be a Walmart exclusive for $39.99 (I can hear the screams already!) it will also have flocked packaging (WTF).
Look at the cross sell: IT'S ZODAC AND SHE-RA! She will be out at mass retail this Spring as well.
LANDSHARK!
Another vehicle coming for the Origins line is the LANDSHARK! It will be retailing for $29.99 and will be bigger than your vintage one (Could a MOTU classics fit? -I can only hope-) The "Landy" (as I call it) will have the chomping feature the vintage one had.
FAN POLL WINNER:
Alcala style Tri-Klops. You can bet that upper armor can fit the classics as well. Fret not. We bet our name the rest of the figures that lost will be released later on. These polls are done to drive engagement to the social media accounts and rise awareness to the brand.
MASTERVERSE 7 INCH SCALE LINE
With the upcoming Netflix Revelations series coming, Mattel is not losing any time and will release a line called "Masterverse" which will feature 7" scale figures with 30 Points of articulation. The first wave will be 8 core characters with more characters coming if it succeeds. They will retail for $19.99 and will be available everywhere in the Fall of 2021. There will be some compatibility with the classics line (Don't @ me bro)
Check the packaging!
That's it masters fans! The future looks bright AF and there are Masters for everyone!
