Sy-Klone MOTU Origins Mattel Creations Exclusive Preorder Tease

T0day on the Mattel Creations website, Mattel teases us with an image that a ‘Spinning Secret. A Powerful Hero Joins the Origins Collection” This can be none other than a Sy-Klone MOTU Origins Mattel Creations Exclusive Tease! We covered this in our MOTU March 2024 Reveals and Preorder Schedule article. Mattel is dedicating 2 days for the reveals. This is different than how Mattel dropped figures in March 2022 and March 2023 as the figures featured each day will be available to purchase on the Mattel Creations website. Starting on March 21, 2024 and ending on March 22, 2024, the event will run for two days. We expect the MOTU Origins Sy-Klone, which we saw revealed at SDCC 2023, to be part of these reveals!

Mattel explained on their @mattelcreations handle on Instagram:

We geek out over the same fandoms you do. So we created Mattel Creations REVEALED – a virtual experience where you can connect with our designers, go behind the scenes, and get new exclusive collectibles. ​Start clearing space on your shelves. Tune into #MattelCreationsRevealed on March 21 and 22, starting at 9am PT. Collectibles featured each day will be at MattelCreations.com at 1pm PT after the show.

Be sure to check back here for information on the figure reveals as we’ll be covering both days for Mattel’s March epic Masters of the Universe figure drops!

Sy-Klone

Sy-Klone was introduced into the Masters of the Universe toy line in 1985. Given that the cartoon series was drawing to a close by the time he was introduced, his role in the show is so brief as to be almost nonexistent. He appears only in minor, fleeting cameo appearances in two episodes: “Beauty and the Beast” and “Here, There, Skeletors Everywhere”.

Sy-Klone is a member of the Heroic Warriors. A blue-skinned cyborg with the ability to spin at super-speed and generate a whirlwind, he is also able to spin different parts of his body individually and was dubbed the ‘Heroic fist-flinging tornado’.

Sy-Klone SDCC 2023 Reveal

Music to collectors ears was the reveal of Sk-Klone!

His torso will still pop off and he actually spins. He comes with 2 extra hands that are tornados, shield, red cyclone rings like what came with the MOTU Classics figure. You pop his torso up and he spins! Sy-Klone maintains all the same articulation as the rest of the figures. He has is lenticular sticker on his chest as well.

Thank to motu.revolution for posting a comparison of the Sy-Klone Origins and vintage figures!

Sy-Klone Test Shots

Sy-Klone was also revealed at SDCC 2023 and is one of the most asked for figures in the MOTU Origins line. He’s been teased on countless card and box arts and it’s amazing to see his test shots!

Below, you can see how the whirlwind tornado effects fit on the ends of his wrists and how the entire body fits together.

Here he is side by side with the SDCC 2023 reveal.

From the back you can see the details on his helmet plus the large hole in his back! We can also see a close up of his action feature, which is only for the Sy-Klone figure. charlie_5.5 said on his Instagram page, “the waist does not come apart. There is a thick post connector to the torso to waist. Only the arms, hands, head and boots are swappable.”

Here we can see how he can swap arms with other Masters of the Universe Origns figures.

Sy-Klone Card Art Teases

The last time we saw Sy-Klone Teased on a card back is on Tung Lashor’s card back art. This is the 3rd time Sy-Klone has been teased on MOTU Card art!

Here is a Hi-Res version of Tung Lashor’s card back art featuring Sy-Klone!

We’ve seen Sy-Klone on a couple different card art montages, including Jitzu’s where if you were not paying attention to who was flying in from the side, you would definitely miss him. I think He-Man can stand on his own defending against Jitzu’s chopping fist but Sy-Klone is there for backup! We also saw him in the most recent release of the Flying Fists He-Man card art where he is taking an offensive pose raising his shield high up in the air.

We also saw Sy-Klone teased on the Flying Fist He-Man card back art as well!
