It was has been really quiet in regards to updates from Mattel regarding their upcoming Eternia playset. Successfully crowdfunded over a year ago, Mattel’s new Eternia Playset (or Preternia playset in the Revelation continuity) promised to be a bigger and better, fantastic re-issue of the 1986 vintage playset and compatible with both Origins and Masterverse…

We have the Power!

Maybe through Mattel Creations but Mattel isn't giving this away for free.

Is it a new picture or just copied and pasted from the crowd fund period?

@durendal It's an old picture. 

I just want the opportunity. I don't mind paying for him.

I want him too. Hopefully including that picture is a hint that they're planning to release him somehow, but I fear that we might be reading too much into it. It's more likely that it was just a lazy copy and paste without further thought.

@durendal If it's a lazy thing then that's cruel to get our hopes up.

I saw @brasco & @depp76 get some recognition too. When is it gonna be my turn! 😂

I honestly would have preferred getting him instead of the King Grayskull.

 

I've never been a huge fan of King Grayskull as I felt his introduction diminished He-Ro's role. Let's face it they went and gave a lot of the story that was meant for He-Ro to him and then Classics continuity really reduced it even further ("Oh he was just some guy named Ro who brought the sword to Eternia then died")

That is my fear also.

It's nice to see someone else who didn't like that bio.

Most of the Classics biographies are terrible, but this goes beyond that. King Grayskull as a character should not exist. He is derivative, supplants He-Ro, and diminishes He-Man.

Personally I like King Grayskull. To me it makes perfect sense that the protector of the power exists throughout history, the legend of He-Man. I do prefer the DC Comics story of He-Ro being King Grayskull's son to have the lineage of both characters lead to Adam and Adora

@he-metayer in those Revelation comics Ro is his son. Dare is his son too but he gets killed

How does he diminish He-Man?

Ro was the only one who had white skin. Do you remember if the comic explained that? Was Ro adopted?

It reduces He-Man to a second-rate King Grayskull; making him a smaller, weaker, copy of the original.

@skeledog I forgot about those Revelation comics. So it sounds like Mattel is trending towards making King Grayskull and He-Ro related in all future stories.

@he-metayer It looks like revelation is the canon for now. Rob david said the eternia playset stuff would be a big deal in Revelation so some of that father son angle could be in Revolution but I dont know why they look different. I guess Ro could have a different mother
