He-Man and Battle Cat Embrace the Chocolate with Mattel Creations

The Masters of the Universe world is getting a makeover as legendary artist, and MOTU fan Virgil Abloh leaves his mark on Eternia. This artist passed away back in 2021, so this Mattel Creations collab comes to us as a surprise, and the artist had an early look at the Masterverse figures before his passing. His team continued his idea and passion for the series to debut some very artistic and possibly delicious collector figures. He-Man and Battle Cat Masterverse figures are getting an artsy rerelease as they feature repaints in a very monochromic color, but I prefer the chocolate aspect. Masters of the Universe collectors get a sweet treat with an Artist Proof design for these figures in new packaging; all included accessories and a comic book by Reggieknow. This is a very interesting release, but very intriguing, and I could be a nice displayable figure for any dedicated MOTU fan. He-Man is priced at $50 found here, Battle Cat is at $80 located here, and the whole MOTU x Virgil Abloh line is set to release on Mattel Creations on October 21, 2022, at 12 PM EST.
