Cartoon Collection Wave 25 & 26 Official Images

Hot off of yesterday’s big New York Toy Fair 2025 reveals, Mattel released official images of the new Cartoon Collection Wave 25 & 26 figures! Wave 25 consists of Orko, Fang Man and Grizzlor. Wave 26 consists of Bow, Shadow Weaver and Whiplash. One figure however was mysteriously missing from Wave 26, and that was Whiplash. We did not see him revealed yesterday, nor did we see his official images released today. That begs the question as to what is going on with Whiplash, as each of the Cartoon Collection Waves have now been 3 figures. While we try to unravel that mystery, let’s take a look at the Cartoon Collection Wave 25 & 26 Official Images we did get today from Yo Tengo El Poder on Instagram.

Grizzlor

Grizzlor appeared in several She-Ra and the Princess of Power Filmation cartoons and he he was part of Catra’s force squad, following her rise to Force Captain after the defection of Adora. Like many other Horde members, Hordak implied that Grizzlor was a product of Horde science and magic.

Photos of Grizzlor from New York Toy Fair 2025 reveals are below.

Fang Man

It is cool to see Fang Man coming to the line as he is a well loved deep cut character that only appeared in one episode of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. According to the Wiki Grayskull, Fang Man is a blue-skinned reptilian and served as a member of Skeletor’s Evil Warriors and was involved in a meeting at Snake Mountain when his master devised a new plan to conquer Eternia. This involved a complicated use of the Wheel of Infinity and traveling to Eternia’s distant past to a point before Castle Grayskull was created with the intention of building a fortress there in order to place the Wheel of Infinity. Thus, it was expected that the Wheel would spin faster and faster until it exploded, thus destroying Castle Grayskull in the future. Whilst Skeletor supervised the building of the fortress, Fang Man gathered a number of Dragosaurs which he took under his control and used them to pacify the area that was populated by the Snake Clan as well as the Ape Clan.

Orko / Uncle Montork

This Cartoon Collection version of Orko allows you to display him as both Orko and his Uncle Montork, which I think is such a creative way to make this a new figure we haven’t gotten yet! Orko was teased on the MOTU Origins Cartoon Collection Evil-Lyn cardback and helps build out the heroes! Orko is a “Trollan”, a race of beings from the extradimensional world of Trolla. Like all Trollans, Orko appears to be a diminutive blue humanoid, capable of floating in midair, whose appearance is almost completely hidden beneath a robe, hat, and scarf. Little more than Orko’s hands, ears, and eyes are ever seen by the audience, as Trollan custom only rarely permits the revelation of one’s face. Orko’s face was designed in production drawings but never appeared in the series; when his clothing is removed, he is always obscured.

Cartoon Collection Wave 26

Wave 26 consists of Cartoon Collection are Bow, Shadow Weaver and Whiplash. Let’s check out each below! But where is Whiplash?

Bow

This Cartoon Collection version of Bow looks like he stepped right out of the cartoon! He comes complete with his bow and arrow of course! And he is earing what looks like a soft goods cape. Bow was recently teased on Leech’s cardback and we knew that this figure would be coming to the line eventually. Bow is renowned as the best archer in all of Etheria. Equipped with an array of trick arrows, he uses his skills of illusion and his fierce patriotism for Etheria to fight the Evil Horde. Bow is also Princess Adora’s right hand man and best friend. You will notice on the vintage PoP version, that Bow was missing his signature mustache, later corrected by including 2 different heads in the MOTU Classics version. Bow is a fictional character from the She-Ra: Princess of Power cartoon series produced by Filmation in the 1980s. He is one of the main characters and a member of the Great Rebellion, a group fighting against the tyrannical rule of Hordak and his Evil Horde.

With his archery prowess, sense of humor, and dedication to the cause, he plays a vital role in the adventures of She-Ra and the Great Rebellion, contributing to the show’s popularity among audiences.

Shadow Weaver

Shadow Weaver was most recently teased on Mantenna’s cardback so it is great to see her coming to the line! Shadow Weaver Tease Shadow Weaver is a powerful sorceress and member of The Horde. She is shown as being second-in-command to Hordak, the tyrannical leader of the planet Etheria. When the infant Princess Adora was kidnapped, it was Shadow Weaver who cast a spell on her so that she would believe the deceptions of The Horde and blindly follow their evil ways. She would be amazing to see in the line because, like Octavia, she was never produced in vintage She-Ra and the Princess of Power line! Here is a concept from Cults3D as we can imagine what Shadow Weaver could like as a MOTU Origins figure.

Whiplash

Whiplash was the one figure mysteriously missing from Wave 26. We did not see him revealed yesterday, nor did we see his official images released today. That begs the question as to what is going on with Whiplash, as each of the Cartoon Collection Waves have now been 3 figures. We don’t know if there is some sort of figure assortment changes happening, but in the meantime, we will take a look at the digital concept from Eternal Customs so we can envision what Whiplash could look like as a Cartoon Collection figure. A member of the Evil Warriors, Whiplash is an anthropomorphic reptilian creature. His main asset in battle is his long, bulky tail, which can injure or knock over his opponent by delivering a heavy blow, as well as being able to smash through solid rock.
