We don’t want to spoil the story for you, but if you want to read on, enjoy!

Last pages of the mini comic is below.

Swift Wind:

Swift Wind or “Swifty” as She-Ra affectionately referred to him, was the other big star of the She-Ra Princess of Power Filmation cartoon! My favorite character as a kid and now, Swifty was always there to assist She-Ra in fighting the Evil Horde and came to the rescue whenever she needed him. I loved the sound of his voice too; it just fit him so well! The animators chose to color Swifty in a beautiful color scheme, by coloring him as a white horse, his multicolored wings and pink and blue mask really stood out and gave him that signature look that everyone knows and loves!

The Mattel Princess of Power version of Swift Wind, released in 1985, also did not resemble the Swift Wind from Filmation, but rather was a shimmery pink colored horse with gold, white and pink wings, a gold mask and saddle with pink rooted hair. Just like Arrow, allowing kids to comb and style Swift Wind’s hair, which was a pivotal part of the play pattern for the Princess of Power toy line.

Shown below is the vintage Mattel Princess of Power Swift Wind and She-Ra, from the personal collection of the none other than the Toy Sorceress! Love my horsie!!! Swifty and She-Ra sit proudly on the shelf over my desk where I am currently authoring this article!

Swiftwind was also released for the MOTU Classic line as seen below. This version closely resembled the Filmation version of Swift Wind and we hope we can get one for the MOTU Origins Cartoon Collection!

Appearing on the 2020 Power Con exclusive She-Ra card art, She-Ra can be seen riding her trusted companion Swift Wind in an amazing piece of artwork by the great Axel Gimenez in his shimmering pink Mattel version! Again, to me this is a tease that we might someday get a Pop version of Swift Wind.

She-Ra and Shift Wind are also illustrated on the back of the card back with the rest of the Rebellion in front of the Crystal Castle.

The vintage action figure of Bow stands at approximately 5.5 inches tall and is made of plastic. He is dressed in bright and colorful attire, featuring a red jacket with gold accents, matching pants, and white boots. Bow’s most recognizable feature is his distinctive helmet, which has heart-shaped cutouts on either side of his face.

The action figure comes with various accessories, including a crossbow, three arrows, a quiver, and a sword. The crossbow can be placed in Bow’s hand, and the arrows can be stored in the quiver on his back. The sword can be attached to his waist for easy access during battles.

Below you can see Bow and Arrow from the vintage 1980’s Mattel Toy line.

Below we have an incredible custom MOTU Origins Bow Action figure that was done by Hunter Knight Customs, so we can get an idea of what a Filmation style Cartoon Collection Bow might look like!

Loo-kee

Let’s start out with these cute little guys that just made the Princess of Power cartoon extra special! Loo-kee was the comic relief and a little buddy every Heroic warrior needed. It was always fun find Loo-kee! during each episode of the Filmation She-Ra Princess of Power cartoon, is let’s

Loo-Kee, son of Pa-Pee, was a member of the Kon-Seals, a race of creatures that used their unique hiding abilities in order to aid the forces of good. Not only was Loo-Kee an expert when it came to hiding, he also had the ability to teleport short distances.

These figures have already been teased on previous Origins releases card backs, so let’s take a look where we’ve seen them. We first saw Loo-Kee (or did we ?) in the card art for the standard release of She-Ra and if you didn’t see him the fist time, he was right in front of your face so to speak as he was hiding in the trees.

The art for the Power Con 2020 exclusive She-Ra provided some great teases for some PoP characters, including Bow, Glimmer, Kowl, and Loo-Kee, who was much easier to find.

Glimmer

Glimmer is the Princess of Bright Moon, the very beautiful daughter of Queen Angella and King Micah. She was the original leader of the Great Rebellion of Etheria until Adora took over and helped to establish much of its support structure. One of the main characters when you think of the Great Rebellion, Glimmer has been made into action figure twice thus far, once for the vintage Princess of Power line of the 1980’s and next in the MOTU Classics line in the mid 2000’s. Let’s take a closer look below.

In an effort to bring girls into the action figure market, Mattel came up with the action doll in the Princess of Power line of the 1980’s. The vintage Glimmer Action Doll was released in 1984 by Mattel and came with a shimmery silver vest and skirt piece. She was dressed in pink and silver and had a jeweled pink staff. She had real rooted pink flowing hair that you could comb, and beautiful makeup on her face. She joined the rest of the rebellion in this new genre of action dolls.

Here we can see a modern version of the Glimmer from the 2014 MOTU Classics line.

Thanks to the incredibly talented Eternal Customs on Facebook, we can see what a Cartoon Collection Glimmer might look like!

Glimmer also appeared on the art for the Power Con 2020 exclusive She-Ra figure.

Angella

Angella was also released as part of the MOTU Classics line and came with her sword, a detachable halo, and detachable articulated wings.

Peekablue

Peekablue is a character of the She-Ra and the Princess of Power Filmation series. She is a member of the Great Rebellion and posses powers such as Clairvoyance, which her blue peacock feathers give her the ability of enhanced sight. With them, she is able to see into the far reaches of the universe.

Peekablue was released as a figure in the Masters of The Universe Classics line. Her MOTU Classics bio reads: “A magical princess of Etheria, Penelope has the power to see in all directions. Her fabulous peacock feathers fan out into a beautiful plumage which is the source of her powers and making her a master spy. She is so proud of them that she likes to strut around Etheria just to show them off. It is the eyes at the tips of these pretty plumes that give her the power of omnidirectional vision. This bird’s eye view of all Etheria lets her know when Catra and the Horde make mischief. After the Horde left Etheria, she joined She-Ra and the other members of the Great Rebellion on Eternia to continue to fight for freedom and peace. During the Second Ultimate Battleground she fought side by side with Man-E-Faces, eventually falling in love with him and choosing to stay on Eternia as a member of the Masters of the Universe.”

Horde Trooper Tease

Here is custom Cartoon Collection Horde Trooper by Eternal customs with Filmation style armor so we can envision what a Cartoon Collection Horde Trooper could look like.

Sea Hawk

Sea Hawk is a pirate with no magical abilities; his skills, developed due to the influence of his father, the Falcon, are the product of hard work.

Here is how the amazing and talented Hunter Knight Customs

Sorceress

The first time the Sorceress was teased for the Cartoon Collection was when Mattel surprised us a very cool stopmotion video by @stuntpuppetpictures, entitled “Pearl of Power” featuring the MOTU Origins Cartoon Collection! If you want a recap of everything revealed thus far, be sure to check out our Masters of the Universe Full Fall 2024 Catalog Reveal article. In this video we Skeletor who obtains the “Pearl of Power” and gains incredible strength and He-Man battles against Skeletor to get it back. You will notice while Skeletor is holding that Pearl, we see image of the Sorceress inside! Could this be a tease for a Cartoon Collection Sorceress? Let’s take a look at the video below and explore this MOTU Origins “Pearl Power” Stopmotion Video that teases a Cartoon Collection Sorceress! Now this is just speculation on our part, but it is always fun to dream!

Here we can see images below from the “Pearl Power” Stopmotion Video by @stuntpuppetpictures, and you can clearly see the Sorceress’ image in the Pearl of Power! Now this could simply be the original Origins vintage style Sorceress figure, but it fun to speculate, right?

Here we can see He-Man looking at the Sorceress in the Pearl!

Here we can see some more close ups of the Pearl of Power!

Here Skeletor is holding the Pearl aloft!

Filmation Sorceress

The Sorceress was my all time favorite character from the Filmation Cartoon Series, which I think is obvious given this is being written by your own Toy Sorceress! She was powerful, mystical, kind and wise, and I really loved how she changed form into a beautiful bird! Getting a Cartoon Collection of the Sorceress would be incredible as if we look at the MOTU Club Grayskull version of 2018, you will see how wonderful she can look in her animated style!

Here we can see a few more images of her classic Filmation Cartoon appearance.

Sorceress in action figure form

The Sorceress was first released as an action figure by Mattel back in 1986, as part of the last wave of figures and fetches a very high price on the vintage aftermarket. Always thought of as a grail piece by vintage MOTU collectors, the Sorceress had a very cute vintage charm but didn’t quite reflect her look in the Filmation cartoon series. Pictured below is a beautiful carded version of the Sorceress, and an uncarded vintage version, from my very own personal collection. You might recogize here from my avatar!, Yes this is the actual “The Toy Sorceress”!

The next version of the Sorceress came in 2021 as part of Wave 7 in the MOTU Origins line. This was a perfect Origins Style homage to the original vintage 1986 Sorceress action figure! And finally the last figure we got was the recent Masterverse Revelation Sorceress shown below.
