BlenderBottle is turning its 28-ounce ‘Pro Series’ into character shaker bottles featuring limited-edition He-Man and Skeletor artwork. The collaboration gives daily protein shakes a collectible twist while keeping the brand’s core bottle format intact.
The designs let buyers choose between the hero and villain from ‘Masters of the Universe,’ with He-Man raising the ‘Power Sword’ and Skeletor paired with his signature laugh. Both bottles retain BlenderBottle’s ‘BlenderBall’ whisk and ‘SpoutGuard,’ so the themed exterior does not sacrifice the mixing and drinking-surface features people already expect.
At $19.99 each on BlenderBottle’s website, the shakers sit in impulse-buy territory for fans and gym regulars alike. The 20% set discount encourages paired purchases, making the collaboration both a nostalgia play and a straightforward accessories sale.
