Sla’ker Turtles of Grayskull Box Art Reveal Teases Slime Pit Again

Roy and team showed off the Sla’ker Turtles of Grayskull Box Art Reveal which teases Slime Pit again for the 3rd time!

The Turtles of Grayskull Wave 2 deluxe Sla’ker box art was revealed today by Roy Juarez and team! Sla’ker is slotted for the Wave 2 deluxe figure assortment as a Target exclusive that comes with more build-a-figure parts to complete Metal-Boto! Roy said in his Instagram post:

“When Krang’s scheme to mutate He-Man required a test subject, Skeletor knew just who to use: He-Man’s robotic doppelganger, Faker. Covered in the same mutagen that created the evil Turtle Slash, the diabolical duplicate rose from the Ooze as the deadly robot Turtle, Sla’Ker!”

Box Front and Back

Sla’ker looks amazing in box and he is a cross between Slash from TMNT and Faker from MOTU! We finally get to see what the head sculpt of Moto-Boto looks like as he’s packed in view over Sla’ker’s right shoulder. We can also see that the Slime Pit is teased for the third time, which would be an apropos small playset that leans into the TMNT ooze that the turtles had in the 1980’s.

We also see some cool action shots of Sla’ker on the side panels showing some cool poses you can think of when you finally get him in hand!

Sla’Ker

Sla’ker looks like a hilarious take on Faker and the TMNT Slash figure! You can see he pizza’s through the busted chest armor and he comes in the classic Faker blue with orange, pink, and purple accents.

Slime Pit Tease #2

Vintage MOTU Slime Pit

The Slime pit itself has already been teased to us on the spectacular artwork that housed the amazing 2021 Power-Con Horde 4 pack, as we covered in our article What MOTU Vehicles and Playsets are Next in the Origins Line? If Slime Pit He-man is being Teased in this mini comic, and we have already seen the Slime Pit in a major piece of packaging artwork, you start to put the pieces together and it looks like a forgone conclusion right? Tracking all of the tease

According to the Wiki Grayskull

The Slime Pit is the name of two different Masters of the Universe locations. The original Slime Pit was released with the original Mattel storyline, with the other coinciding with the MYP/Four Horsemen MOTU series in 2003. Both locations were made as playsets for the toylines and both playsets came with sticky green slime for play value. The original Slime Pit belongs to the Evil Horde, it is a dinosaur skull-shaped device and a claw, which Hordak uses to trap Eternian Warriors inside it. The dinosaur head then tips forward to coat its unfortunate victim with slime. In the In the MOTU universe, the effect of the slime transforms everyone covered by it into a lumbering, mindless slime-monster, stripped of their own free will, and instead carrying out Hordak’s evil bidding.

Slime Pit | Wiki Grayskull | Fandom

The Slime Pit playset was released in 1986 and jumped on that 1980’s slime craze band wagon, like so many other toys back then! It was the Lair of the Evil Horde to torture their unsuspecting victims.

It was a fairly simple playset; a dinosaur claw would come out of a pit and hold your figure in place to lay wait for the oncoming slime that fed from a dinosaur skull above.

Mattel had also sold separate containers of Horde branded slime, so that you could constantly keep your slime pit well stocked.

Shredder’s Slime Pit

Here we can see the full artwork with Mutated He-Man and Shredder in the background and it looks like a Shredder Slime pit tease!!

You can see the Slime Pit is Technodrome Shredder inspired with a huge Shredder mask on it!

This is a great close up of Shredder below! Can’t wait to see what his figure looks like!
