Written by Anyone one who has listened to our new podcast today with the terrific Masterverse artist Eamon O’Donoghue knows that we not only talked Masterverse figures, but discussed Mondo figures as well.
The Mondo topic that was of particular interest, discussed not once but two separate times in the podcast, was the news that Mondo would be releasing more Masters of the Universe: Revelation Mondo figures.
If you recall, last year there was an exclusive San Diego Comic-Con Mondo Skeletor released to only 2,000 units. Based on the hit Netflix series “Masters of the Universe: Revelation”, it featured an entirely new sculpt and the paint design wonderfully captured the animation aesthetic. You can check out our unboxing here.
Well back in January of this year, on Eamon O’Donoghue’s excellent high-end sixth scale collector podcast The Hot Toy Cast (found on all podcast platforms everywhere), he had a special Mondo Masters of the Universe podcast with guests “Pixel” Dan Eardley and Ted Biaselli, and Pixel Dan revealed that more Revelation Animation style figures are on the way.
Here is what he said:
Pixel Dan Eardley: “So the thing that’s cool about this Skeletor, and I don’t know if anyone has really paid much attention or noticed, but it’s not utilizing the same body system as the standard Masters of the Universe line for Mondo. And the reason for that is because the Revelation line is a separate line, they’re treating it like a different line. So they’re actually basing those off the animation which is why the body is built different. And… that means there is more of these coming. So this is a full line. Separate from the standard 1:6th Masters of the Universe line that they’re doing, so you guys can expect to see some more animated figures coming soon.”
Will He-Man be one of those upcoming figures, an exclusive at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con perhaps? We don’t know for certain, but it seems hard to imagine a Mondo Revelation line without Skeletor’s heroic opposite!
As mentioned in our podcast, this fantastic news never seemed to go widespread, so we felt it’s worthy of another push! And be sure to check out Eamon’s excellent The Hot Toy Cast available on all the usual platforms.
We’ll see you next time!

The new Skeletor blew me up! It is really awesome, pity the figures have already been sold out just to be resold at stellar prices!!!
this is some good news. I wonder what would come after He-Man. evil-Lyn?
I hope for Man at arms, Trap jaw, Ram man and Scare glow. But the prices will be INSANE.
