An Iconic Disney Villain Rises with Mattel Creations

"We're celebrating Disney's 100 Years of Wonder by showcasing Villains as they're becoming their most evil selves. Disney's Maleficent is a gloriously wicked introduction to the series. Our design team set out to create the most spellbinding version of Maleficent you've ever seen. The result captures both the fiendish fairy and fire-breathing dragon elements of her evil essence. Maleficent's iridescent wings feature astoundingly intricate scales, much like the ones embossed on her purple vinyl dress. She also stands tall in fierce dragon-claw heels."

"Since the 1959 classic movie Disney's Sleeping Beauty, Disney's Maleficent has become one of their most wickedly loved Villains. This special collector edition captures her dramatic change from fiendish fairy into a fearless fire-breathing dragon. With majestic dragon wings and green flames engulfing her scaly black and purple gown, Maleficent is depicted in mid-transformation — and Prince Phillip would do well to heed her warning. Maleficent will not go down without a fiery fight."
