An image from an overseas distributor has shown up
online giving us our first look at what might be the new
Kevin Smith Netflix Animated Series
Masters Of The Universe Revelation Skeletor figure from
Mattel.
The title description lists it as
Skeletor Oversize Figure 23 CM Masters Of The Universe: Revelation. 23 CM comes out to just over 9" tall. It's unclear if oversize means some type of deluxe figure or what. The design of the figures seems to be very reminiscent to how Skeletor at one point looked in the DC Comic Book series titled Eternia War which you can see a cover of below for.
Assuming this is all legit, it's also not clear if this is a figure that will be part of the previously announced
Mattel Masters of the Universe Masterverse line which was said to contain figures around 7" tall. The description on the overseas website does not use the word
Masterverse and if this figure is based on the new
Kevin Smith cartoon, its possible that will have it's own dedicated line. This figure
DOES NOT seem to fit any of the blacked out images
Mattel showed for the line back during
Power-Con last year.
Last year another image had leaked out for what was said to be a figure in the
Masterverse line for a
Moss-Man figure which did match up with one of the teased blacked out images.
If this image is an actual look at one of the figures for the new
Kevin Smith animated series coming to Netflix later this year, it is somewhat interesting that the design seems to have been heavily influenced by the
Eternia War DC Comic book series. I suppose it's possible that this isn't based on the
Kevin Smith series at all, but solely on the
DC Comic Book one and is in fact part of the
Masterverse line, which could possibly include figures from all various corners of the
MOTU Universe that has been established over the years. In the
Eternia War series, the war to end all wars has begun in Eternia!
Hordak and the villainous
Dark Horde have taken over
Castle Grayskull and plan to use it as a weapon to terrorize and rule the universe. But a resistance is building led by
She-Ra, The Sorceress Teela and the benevolent warrior
He-Man!
To me if this figure image is legit, it makes more sense that its a figure based on the
comic book series and
NOT the new
animated series, but I guess we will just have to see.
