Toy Fair 2011: Mattel's Masters of the Universe Classics Reveals

Mattel’s reveals of their Masters of the Universe Classics were the highlight of their Collector-Media Event during Toy Fair. The display of new characters was quickly swarmed like… something that gets swarmed, we guess. For fans of the line, some long awaited characters made their triumphant debuts, along with a few that people weren’t expecting. You wanna know who? You wanna see the photos? Of course you do, because you’re just as addicted to the unstoppable power of He-Man as we are!
The current release list, as announced during the presentation is:

March: King Hiss and Battle Armor Skeletor

April: Sy-Klone, Panthor, and the Weapon’s Rack

May: Catra

June: Faceless One and Battleground Teela (The Quarterly figure)

July: Clawful

August: Man-E-Faces and Megator (The Oversize Beast)

Out of the figures, it seems the Faceless One, Megator, and Man-E-Faces were the jewels of the announcements. Megator is approximately the same height as Titus and comes with a large mace weapon. The Faceless One was extremely elaborate and has a powered-up havoc staff which features a translucent orange top and his right hand is sculpted to hold a crystal, much like Count Marzo. According to Toy Guru Scott Neitlich, more figures will be announced during the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con.

The new DC Universe Classics VS. Masters of the Universe Classics packs were also present. The Hal Jordan and Zodac pack had been previously shown in Toyfare, but the 2nd two-pack is going to include She-Ra and Supergirl! While the previous two-packs have seen changes and cutbacks on accessories, She-Ra appears to be coming with her sword and shield… in regular colors. Speaking of She-Ra, it was also announced that there will be a new She-Ra being released with a height adjustment and new sculpt in order to address issues that fans have voiced and also (and more importantly) allow her to sit easily on the upcoming Swiftwind.
