Evil-Lyn Coming to 2026 MOTU Core Movie Line

Word just came in that Evil-Lyn is making her way into the MOTU Core movie line, and this is exactly the kind of intel that gets me fired up because it means Mattel is continuing to build out the villain side of this lineup in a meaningful way. This is most likely not shocking news but it’s surprising that we have not seen her in the initial release of Skeletor’s baddies as she is the right hand woman of the Evil Lord of Destruction. We received a tip from an anonymous source who has seen hard evidence that a Core Evil-Lyn is on the way, and while we don’t have specifics on packaging, accessories, or wave placement just yet, what I can tell you is that when tips like this come our way, they have a neae perfect track record of panning out. If you look at the recent official images that have surfaced of late with 200x Deluxe Whiplash, Masterverse Vintage Collection Wun-Dar, MOTU Origins Slime Pit, and the new MOTU Origins 4-Pack, this will tell you that we are usually right on the money with early intel!

Wave 5?

With Mattel having already pulled back the curtain on the Core Wave 3 and 4 figure assortments, the natural question becomes where exactly Evil-Lyn fits into the picture, and there are a couple of possibilities that make a lot of sense right now. Wave 3 currently includes He-Man v2 and Man-At-Arms v2, and the Wave 1 Beast Man as we gathered from the Wave 3 in-package images that surfaced on eBay. Entertainment Earth has already spec’d out Tri-Klops, Teela, Ram Man, and a translucent Skeletor for Wave 4. This would make Evil-Lyn a trong candidate for a Wave 5 as she could just as easily be the opening salvo of a Wave 5 assortment, which would signal that Mattel has even more planned for this Core line than we initially thought. Only time will tell on the exact placement, but either way the puzzle pieces are starting to come together for collectors who have been following this line closely. For now, if you want a sense of what this figure might look like, the MOTU Chronicles Evil-Lyn offers a solid reference point since the sculpts across both lines tend to resemble each other, with the main difference being that the Core line features less articulation and less sophisticated details. I love how Mattel keeps expanding this roster because every new addition makes the shelf display that much more compelling, and Evil-Lyn is one of those characters who absolutely belongs in any proper Masters of the Universe collection. Can’t wait to see what official images eventually surface on this one.

MOTU Chronicles Evil-Lyn

Evil Lyn is displayed alongside her accessories, wearing an intricate silver and blue armor corset with a spiked crown headpiece and a deep blue cape that drapes to the ground. She comes with a twisted silver staff topped with a large blue orb, plus a pair of swap-out open hands with sculpted rings on the fingers.

The tall black boots have a matte finish with a slight heel, and the blue flame-like patterning on her leggings carries nicely into the darker tones of the armor above. Her spiked collar and shoulder armor have a layered, almost organic texture to the sculpt.

The soft goods cape has real flow to it, with the blue fabric catching movement nicely in this posed shot. Her spell-casting hands have great finger separation, and that head sculpt captures a sharp, focused expression.

Evil Lyn grips her staff with both hands, and the twisted metallic shaft has a nice sense of weight to it, tapering down to a pointed end. The gold rings on her fingers catch against the dark sculpt of the staff, adding a small but welcome detail at this scale.

The blue orb atop the staff has a glossy, almost glass-like finish that contrasts well with the matte silver of the twisted shaft beneath it. That head sculpt is really solid, with the crown’s spindly spikes framing her face without overwhelming it.
