Mattel will be kicking off their latest crowdsourcing campaign for the
Masters of the Universe Origins Eternia Playset on the
MattelCreations website tomorrow (10/12) at 12pm ET.
The campaign will last until
November 9 and cost
$550 pulse a $50 surcharge for shipping in the US. additional surcharges may apply for International folks. In order for the playset to move into production it will need a minimum number of
5000 Backers.
As we previously reported, MOTU fans who commit before
10/19 will get a
limited-edition Origins King Grayskull figure to rule over your Ultimate Battleground Playset.
Today we learned the playset will have stretch goals as well including a fully articulated
Moat Monster which will be included if the campaign reaches 8k backers before the campaign ends. If the campaign reached
10k backers then they will also include a
Keclar The Elder figure.
This expansive playset brings both sides of the battle for Eternia. At Grayskull Tower, you can capture He-Man’s evil foes with a trap door and opening gate. In Snake Mountain Tower, you can control the snake head to lunge and bite at any interloping heroes.
The middle Tower of Eternia hosts many surprises, including the Lion’s Head entryway that captures would-be intruders and the sculpted details in the moat. The pinnacle of the tower is armed with a double-barrel cannon that shoots missile projectiles.
Inside the main tower, an elevator moves your figures up through the second and third levels. On the third level, the training room and armory has a maneuverable Horde Trooper dummy that is remotely controlled by a chair in the command center on the second level.
This massive 3’x4’ playset is surrounded by a monorail system with a motorized tram that zips around the three towers. Attach one of three different vehicles and move your figures around the battle.
