Get ready for the biggest crossover of the 80s ever as Masters of the Universe and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collide for one big event
Article Summary
- Mattel's MOTU joins forces with TMNT for an 80s crossover event.

Move over He-Man; there is a new hero of Eternia as Mattel brings the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to the world of the Masters of the Universe. Mattel's new MOTU collab is something truly special, being two popular franchises together like never before. We have seen plenty of figures already, and Mattel has even given fans a closer look at these releases ahead of the Q1 2024 launch. One of which is the fearless leader of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as Leonardo steps into Eternian territory with a brand new look. Leonardo is embracing the Power of Grapskull with his new He-Man-inspired design. Leo will get his own Power Sword as well as a shell shield and armor set. Hopefully, we will see a non-mutated version of He-Man later on from Hasbro with some TMNT-inspired armor to truly unite these shell-shocking heroes for one mighty team-up. The Turtles of Grayskull figures are not up for pre-order yet, but all things Mattel can be found here in the meantime.
