Horde Trooper New Eternia Masterverse Mattel Creations Exclusive Preorder

Not on the Mattel Creations launch calendar comes the October surprise of the preorder and official images of the New Eternia Masterverse Horde Trooper! The package and art was revealed back in March 2023, along with the reveal of the figure plus it was shown at SDCC 2024. This chonky boi stands 8.5″ tall and was on display at SDCC 2024. The preorder will go live on October 15, 2024 at 9am PT. The Mattel Creations launch calendar has updated and official images of Horde Trooper New Eternia Masterverse preorder have gone live! Huge thanks to theturngoods for the heads up!

The latest addition to our Masterverse collection is our largest army builder to date: the New Eternia Oversized Horde Trooper. Standing tall at 8.5”, our mechanical enforcer has removable body parts including legs, arms, and hands. He also comes ready for battle with a sword, a spear with articulated wings, and a backpack to hold all his weapons.

From the package art, we see the New Eternia Horde Trooper drawing from the concept art! The Horde Troopers are foot soldiers of the Horde Empire. The front of the artwork features an army of Palace Guards going up against an army of Horde Troopers. We can see both Wind Raiders and Sky Sleds going against some sort of Horde flying vehicles in the air! Although each trooper is individually unremarkable, in large numbers they are used to great effect in the occupation of Etheria by Hordak. In the rear artwork, we are finally putting a “face” to the name as it looks like the Horde Trooper will be getting an alien-type head.

But is the Horde Trooper humanoid or robot? His removable helmet solves this mystery once and for all, revealing the Horde Goblin inside the armor.

Here are some cool action poses and the image below shows that you can store his staff in his back armor and he we get a close up of the eyes that let light in.

Here is a view compared to Sy-Klone and Thunder Punch He-Man and he looks very beefy!

The Masterverse Horde Trooper is one beefy boy! He’s just the right girth and will make a huge presence on your shelf!

If you catch the light right, you can see an amber glow coming his eyes. Although not light piped, the eyes are contructed in a way that reflects light to make them look like they are glowing.

The one and only Roy Juarez posted official images of the Mattel Creations Exclusive Masterverse New Eternia Horde Trooper, and he looks incredible! During Mattel’s Mattel Revealed event live stream, they highlighted 3 new figures that are coming to the Masterverse and MOTU Origins lines! The figures included Geldor and Demo-Man for the MOTU Origins line and a larger than life Masterverse New Eternia Horde Trooper! Now we have the Masterverse New Eternia Horde Trooper Official Package Reveal, so let’s check it out!

We can also see the cool windowless display once the box is open!

Masterverse New Eternia Horde Trooper Reveal

We knew this figure was coming but did not except to be revealed but we are so thrilled he made an appearance! Like Geldor, they showed off a slide that outlines the concept and what parts are removable.

They also showed some of the box art, which was very cool to see!

Vast armies of Horde Troopers were also used during the Horde’s failed invasion of Eternia. The early Horde Trooper concepts look nothing like the vintage toy. As the Battle Ram Blog states, “As Mattel and Filmation worked very closely on the She-Ra series and its characters and concepts, the Horde Trooper concept is a no-brainer. An army for the main villain in the series, as well as a collect-your-own-army idea from toy marketing POV. In the script and concept, as well as the storyboard for Into Etheria, we get a look at an early design, which gives the characters a heavily-armored and barbaric look. It’s clear that these troopers (or Hordesmen) are organic beings. One is human with a scar on his face, another is reptilian, and the third is a hawk hordesman.”
