August 19, 2019
A lot happened this past weekend at Power-Con and we wanted to bring you a recap of all the announcements made by Mattel for Masters of the Universe, She-Ra and their newly announced WWE/MOTU Mash-Up line titled Masters Of The WWE Universe. Be sure to check out new detailed images from Shakil Assi of everything shown by Mattel at the event below in our GALLERY
Masters of the WWE Universe
For Masters of the WWE Universe line they had on hand Terror-Claws HHH which will be included with the Castle Grayskull wrestling ring along with He-Man John Cena. The ring features things like wood-like stairs that you can store your figures weapons in. Also shown were the figures in the first wave which include New Day Man-E-Faces that has the faces of all 3 members of the New Day team. Finn Balor Beastman, Ultimate Warrior, HHH Skull King and Clawful Sting.
For the second wave they debuted at Power-Con Macho Man-At-Arms with multiple battle-armor chest pieces, Rey Mysterio Stratos and Roman Reigns Fisto with removable gauntlet.
The figures will come with collector booklets telling the story of these characters and the roles they play on planet WWEternia. The figures are based on the classic MOTU buck but have added articulation so they can, well actually wrestle. The figures are also compatible with Mattel's new Masters of the Universe: Origins line and parts from all these figures will be interchangeable with one another.
She-Ra And The Princess Of Power
For fans of the new Netflix She-Ra animated series Mattel showed off new doll-like action figures based on the show including Adora, She-Ra, Swift-Wind, Bow, Glimmer and Catra.
Masters Of The Universe: Origins
Masters of the Universe is returning to mass-retail in 2020 with a new line of products titled "Origins" which will include the likes of 5.5" action figures, vehicles and mini-figures.
The first wave of 5.5" action figures will include He-Man, Man-At-Arms, Teela, Skeletor, Beastman and Evil-Lyn. Also shown for the first time was Trap Jaw which is likely slated for wave 2.
These figures feature new bucks that are reminiscent of the original 80's toy line but feature added articulation. The figures also have removable limbs that are interchangeable with one-another as well as those from the Masters of the WWE Universe line. The figures feature character specific weapon accessories and will be packaged in classic looking cardbacks which will also include new mini-comics.
To go along with the figures it was announced a new Battle Cat was being released for this line with a removable battle helmet and a Sky Sled that will include a Prince Adam figure. The Sky Sled and Prince Adam weren't on display at the con but they did show a slide of it at their panel. These will also come in classic looking packaging.
We will also be seeing new Mini-Figure 2-packs which will include special chase variant figures. The chase figures shown at Power-Con include comic-based Trap Jaw, Slime-Pit He-Man, Gold-Armor Skeletor and Serpent Claw Man-At-Arms. All these mini-figures will come as blind-packs.
The 5.5." figures will retail for $14.99 each, Battle Cat will retail for $24.99, Sky Sled with Prince Adam will retail for $29.99 and the Mini-figure 2-packs will cost $4.99 each.

I sold months ago my Thundercats Mattel set but now that they are coming back with Super 7, I'm all about collecting them.

Much bigger show floor with more guests and vendors. Great reveals and enthusiasm from Mattel. Lots of media and entertainment announcements. And reveals for lines like Thundercats and TMNT that normally one would only expect to get at one of the big 3 events (SDCC, NYTF, and NYCC).
I have to agree with you I was not expecting how good PowerCon was this year.
Super7 brought it this year, Tmnt was brilliant with the retro weapons toy rack.
Even though I got the 2 complete setsof Mattels Thundercats it's a good chance for people to get who missed out the first time.
2 hours ago, Neovorticism2 said:Yeah, in the 80's, but in the motuc line the Horde was introduced earlier, if I remember correctly Hordak was released in the 2nd year.
Because they did not followed what it was done in the original line...
By the way this new line is called origins...
6 hours ago, Neovorticism2 said:Matty held a brief Q&A session during the Con and I found a little disapointing to know that they don't have any plans for Evil Horde and/or Snake Men figures at the moment, also no alternate hands in order the keep the price as low as possible, neither plans for playsets (I kinda understand the reason why) oh and if anyone was wondering no plans for She-Ra stuff yet and finally no many vehicles on this line, that includes the 3 dinosaurs from the PoG line-up that were on the top of my wishlist, anyway... I'm still in.
I thinks it's too early in the line to introduce the Horse or She-ra... In the 80s they introduce those characters after the first ones were stablished...

I will get the Macho Man and is that a Skelletor figure supposed to be Triple H in disguise? Then I will get it too... Look at the panel video...
I will be getting the ultimate warrior and macho man
