@lasastard For once this is not Mattel’s fault. It simply a fun collectible that a toy convention in Germany is doing, themselves, together with a big distributor. I assume with permission from Mattel, but I don’t think Mattel is actually producing these.

Something fun for the visitors, a celebratory keepsake, but also no new figures, of course. Not something collectors in other countries should feel bad about 🙂

It's blury but I think the box says it is a project from fans for fans. The artist is legit though. He does figure art for MOTU figures.

@depp76 There's nothing new in this set, so what's the point? We all have these two figures already.

NEXT.

@smitty-81 Yes I knew that when I posted it.  I just though it was neat and wanted to share.

@he-dad Yes Simon Eckert was well plugged in with the fan community in Germany even before he got to do official Mattel stuff. I’m sure he enjoyed doing this side project.

I also like the back, even though there isn’t a big illo– just all the cross sell art and instructions, it gives me a lot of vintage vibes.

There are always some interesting fan projects going on over there, but it usually doesn’t involve figures. They produced some items based on the popular audio plays.

This is copying a set in the vintage line so this probably counts to any hardcore completists. According to heogroup's instagram page they have Mattel’s permission to do this. 

@kraken I think Mattel would have done well to sell some of the He-Man and Skeletor variants in two packs. Hopefully they sell the laser variants in a set.

@smitty-81 That makes sense, but I think it would be nice to get them on individual cards like the vintage ones that 99% of fans never had.

Considering that Mattel has gone to boxed deluxe figures and the laser He-Man and Skeletor figures will be more than a deluxe I don't think we'll be getting carded figures. 

MOTUC did them as a two pack and I think that was one of the better ideas to come from that era of MOTU.

Maybe they could really sweeten the deal with a 20 page mini comic. 

2 figure sets can make it pricey… it might save a couple bucks in the long run, but my resistance to buy an item grows when it’s an expensive item, especially on MC. 

I do think the Laser figures could feel a bit more special if they are separate. But, both has pros and cons, I suppose…

Taking a closer look at the head sculpt for the upcoming Masters of the Universe: Origins VYPOR figure.

Castle Hellskull from Anti Eternia? That is crazy cool! Was that actually produced to buy?

@he-dad that doesn't look like an angel?

@smitty-81 An angry baby faced angel 😂

@he-dad 🤣 ok I'll give you that.

@durendal I would get this just for the box

@he-dad I believe it’s in the works! It just takes them a long time.

They even have the instructions done. It’s more of a diorama…
