New Masters of the Universe: Origins figures are here, including a return to Preternia with Mattel Creations. Red Shadow was a Masters of the Universe character that artist Axel Gimenez originally conceptualized for the MOTU Classics line. While the figure was never made for that series, he is getting new life with the 5.5" MOTU Origins toy line. Red Shadow was an outcast from Preternia's Beast Men; his own kind rejected him because of the distinct red marking that covered part of his skin.
His clan believed these markings signaled misfortune, and after his exile, Red Shadow was captured and forced into service by the Great Black Wizard. However, with he arrival and help of Moss Man, Red Shadow defeated the wizard and was freed, pledging himself to King Grayskull. Masters of the Universe collectors can now bring the adventures of Red Shadow to life with this brand-new Club Grayskull exclusive. He is set to arrive exclusively on Mattel Creations on November 18 at 9:00 AM EST for $22, and fans can already view him online.

Masters of the Universe Origins Red Shadow Action Figure
"From the mists of Preternia a masked enigma emerges: the Masters of the Universe Origins Red Shadow action figure. A beast man shunned by his people, Red Shadow was forced to wear a mask and serve the Great Black Wizard until he was freed by Moss Man. The mask remains, but Red Shadow uses his abilities (and included club, dagger, and spear) to fight for King Grayskull."
