Mattel's Masters of the Universe: Masterverse Line Named Action Figure Of The Year By The Toy Foundation

The Toy Foundation unveiled the winners for their prestigious 22nd annual Toy of the Year Awards (TOTY) yesterday during a virtual event attended by play professionals and toy fans from around the world.

In keeping with tradition, the awards ceremony included the induction of four industry trailblazers into the Toy Industry Hall of Fame, as well as a spotlight on The Toy Foundation's charitable initiatives. One hundred percent of the award program's proceeds support the work of The Toy Foundation, which funds children's hospitals in disadvantaged communities, provides grant relief to non-profits assisting families impacted by COVID-19, and supports vital diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in the toy industry.
