Powers of Grayskull Teased Again

Back in April 2024, we reported that He-Ro and Eldor were coming to the MOTU Origins line and we are hoping that they will finally make an appearance, along with other Powers of Grayskull characters! According to a Facebook post from Optibotomus, Mattel is teasing the Powers of Grayskull once again! He said, “Got a special package from our friends at Mattel today! On March 6th, starting at 9am (PT), Mattel will be having a special fan event at MattelCreations.com and for us MOTU fans, Mattel will be revealing their next MOTU collectible at 10am (PT). There are going to 3 clues to tease us and they sent me the first one. THIS MAGNET!!! They say to pay close attention to the details. The other clues will be posted by Mattel Creations on their social channels.”

The magnet referenced above is the box art for the Mattel Creations New Etenria playset, and here is the hi-res image of the box pictured below! This Eternia box are is beautifully stunning, and there are so many easter eggs in this artwork, we don’t know where to begin, but we will cover them all right here and right now! So without further ado, let’s dive into this amazing Eternia MOTU Origins Mattel Creations Official Box Art Reveal! With these new hi-res images, we can now more clearly see the teases for each of the characters.

In reference to Optibotomus‘s clue that Mattel will be dropping easter eggs on their socials, we already discovered one them in the Curated Cube video series they are putting out ahead of the event. Here is a screenshot of one of the easter eggs from the Curated Cube series where they “We love collectibles as much as you do. Want proof? Go inside the walls of Mattel, as we showcase some of our most envy-inspiring cubicle set-ups.” We also want to thank Pedro, who gave us the heads up and said “I don’t know if you notice that in the Mattel creations video revealed, there appear a men reading a book that have the map of PRETERNIA… in the e-mail from Mattel creations they say: “Tune in to see if you can spot hidden Easter eggs about our upcoming product drops.”

Laser Power He-Man

Laser Power He-Man was a corner stone into the gate way of the Powers of Grayskull! Prominently featured on the Eternia package artwork, you can see Laser Power He-Man battling with Laser Light Skeletor! But this isn’t the first time we saw him teased! He was previously teased on the Camo Khan Card art as we will discuss below.

As with Laser Light Skeletor, the figure’s light up feature is activated by raising his right arm. A wire is snaked from the sword, under the armor on the right arm (which seems to exist only to hide the wire) and into the backpack. The light in the sword is powered by an AA battery that fits in the backpack.

The Italy release (shown below) has the newly sculpted head, which some have speculated is supposed to resemble Dolph Lundgren, who played He-Man in the 1987 Masters of the Universe Movie. Alternatively, it could resemble some actor who might have starred in the (never produced) interactive He-Man TV show. That’s purely speculative – they might not have had any actors in mind for the series. Looking at this and the early prototype closely, however, I think the most likely interpretation is that it’s just supposed to look like the original He-Man’s face sculpt, but with a more neutral expression and updated hair. Like Laser-Light Skeletor, all of Laser Power He-Man’s tooled parts are unique to the figure

Laser Power He-Man was one of the two remaining deluxe release figures of the vintage Masters of the Universe line in 1988. He had a light up power sword feature powered by his backpack. The light up feature was activated by putting the Power Sword in his hand. By the time this figure was released, the line’s popularity had died out in the United States, so it was released in Italy and Spain. Today, Laser Light He-Man and Laser Light Skeletor are of the highest valued figures of the entire MOTU vintage line and fetch triple digits!

Laser Power He-Man can with two variants of his head. The first was the original vintage head design, but was later changed to resemble Dolph Lundren who was then starring in the Masters of the Universe Motion Picture.

He-Ro Tease

Axel Gimenez posted a very intriguing post to Instagram today, with a Super7 5.5″ Vintage Style He-Ro in package next to him and he says “Working, working, and working ??” with a pen sitting next to He-Ro. Now He-Ro holds a very special significance to the Toy Habits family, because it was a friendly trade of the MOTUC He-Ro’s staff that brought the Toy Sorceress and Michael of Toy Habits together to form an amazing partnership of the Toy Habits team you all know and love today! So, if this is a real indication of He-Ro coming to the MOTU Origins line, believe me I would be totally over the moon! that I don’t know about you, but I feel like we have been getting small hints of the Powers of Grayskull for a while now. First with the Camo Khan Card Art Teases, then with the Moss Man MOTU Origins Art Reveal, which both were heavily influenced and teased many Powers of Grayskull characters! If you follow us on YouTube, you know that we have been predicting The Powers of Grayskull to be coming to the MOTU Origins line in 2024! We have had several theories and wish list videos where we discuss our theories on the Powers of Grayskull being the next big theme in the MOTU Origins line, as it naturally follows the Rise of the Snake Men, where the Snake Men originated in Preternia, but we will have more about that for you below.

How cool would it be to get a shiny vac metal gold colored MOTU Origins version of He-Ro, just the thought of it makes me so happy and excited! Also, this opens the door to the Powers of Grayskull characters and dinos! The possibilities are endless! So let’s explore this MOTU Origins He-Ro Tease!

Then a week ago we had the following posted by ¡Yo tengo el Poder! (@yo_tengo_el_poder) | Instagram, coincidence, I think not!

He-Ro has been a very popular yet desired character for many years.
Even though we were introduced to the character in Mattel’s 1987 catalog in the United States as the protagonist of the Powers of Grayskull subliminal, it never saw the light and became a desired figure for years. It finally saw the light inside the Classics collection in 2009, but its vintage version was still highly requested, so Super7 released that version in 2019 to the delight of the fans. A new release has been released in 2022 by Mattel within the Masterverse line, based on his appearance in the Masters of the Universe Revelation series.
And, surely, we won’t be long to see the Origins version.

¡Yo tengo el Poder! then included a series of images from He-Ro from early Mattel Prototypes to the Super7 version, to the MOTUC version to the latest Masterverse verision that was recently released. I don’t know about you, but this does not seem like a coincidence!

Here you can see early prototypes of the never produced He-Ro figure by Mattel.

Here you can see early test shot prototypes of the never produced He-Ro figure by Mattel as well.

That is all of the information we have to go on for now but, putting 2 + 2 together in chat with our good friend, toyhuntershollow, we also came across a Mattel drop at 9am PST on Entertainment Earth. As we are unsure what the news will be, we will be sure to update everyone as this will either be more news for their upcoming Mattel Creations Revealed event OR more figures going up for preorder! Given the Drop Zone Mattel listing on Entertainment Earth, we are hoping it is both.

There is a Mattel figure drop on Entertainment Earth’s Drop Zone for Thursday, February 27, 2025 at 9am PT so hopefully this coincides with the news that Dad-At-Arms was referring to.
