Little People Collector MOTU Set Skeletor’s Stronghold: MOTUesday News Drop

Skeletor’s Stronghold is the next Little People Collector Masters of the Universe figure set by Fisher-Price coming to Mattel Creations on 8/12

August 9, 2022 MOTUesday News Roundup

Little figures, big battles! Protect planet Eternia and defend the secrets of Castle Grayskull with this special edition Little People Collector Masters of the Universe figure set by Fisher-Price! Available 8/12 on MattelCreations.com! For this Mattel Creations Exclusive, the fight comes to Snake Mountain, as seen on the packaging. We love how the design team channeled an ‘80s VHS-tape-box vibe for inspiration.

How can He-Man and Skeletor fight for the power of Grayskull when they seem so innocent? Don’t be fooled – these heroes and villains still have their eyes on the prize.

8/3/2022 UPDATE: Side Box Art

Hopefully this means the Two-Bad release is right around the corner but @natebaertschart and @manuel_eduardo_caritas shoed everyone the box art they did for the Masterverse Two Bad figure and it looks outstanding! Tuvar and Baddrah have never looked better and the dead eye stare Tuvar has on his face is something only a mother could love. Nate said, “I can’t wait for you all to get the figure in hand and see the rest of Two-Bad’s art, and then rip that figure out and play!!!” We can’t either as this is one of the most anticipated figures we have seen in the Masterverse line.

Today, Mattel revealed a Masterverse version of Two-Bad! Now this doesn’t come too much of a surprise to us because we covered this leak in our Masterverse Leaked Figures | Zodac, Galactic Protector He-Man, Two-Bad post back in March where our friends at @canaldosrosmineiros, reported that the new Masterverse figures that would be coming in 2023 included Zodac, Two-Bad, and Galactic Protector He-Man from the New Adventures line! Well, we already got two of the three previously revealed, so that only left Two-Bad to be announced and here he is!

Accodrding to Mattel’s Masters Instagram page:

Get ready, because Skeletor has some pretty good “bad” news: We are releasing Two-Bad – Oversized for double the action! It’s Two-Bad’s first appearance in Masterverse and it comes with multiple accessories like vintage mace, armor and “two-headed” axe! #MOTUesday

In this new Masterverse figure, Two-Bad sports his classic look with his signature orange armor and a very cool spiked right shoulder armor. Baddrah’s side is a an amazingly sculpted piece showing off the detailed scaled arms and legs with ridges running down the sides.  Tuvar is a bit simpler and, like Baddrah, he has a great head sculpt as well.  His boot and glove are also very interesting pieces that have an armor-plated look with lots of rivets to hold them together.  The rest of his arms and legs, are also all brand new sculpts and unlike any of the other Masterverse figures that have come before them.

Zodac and Two-Bad have not appeared in the Masters of the Universe Revelation Netflix series and with the reveal of the 40th Anniversary He-Man figure, we could see more classic figures in the Masterverse vintage style box coming to the line! Also, with a New Adventures He-Man coming to Masterverse, this blows the doors wide open for this sub line to get built out, similarly to how they created figures in the MOTU Classics line! We’ve only seen single headed figures on the Masterverse buck and it will be amazing to see how they style Two-Bad from a tooling and sculpt perspective in hand!
