Mattel has unveiled the second wave of action figures and toys inspired by the upcoming live-action Masters of the Universe film, which is scheduled for theatrical release in June. The company is expanding the product line with movie-accurate representations of characters portrayed by the cast, including Nicholas Galitzine, Camila Mendez, Idris Elba, and Alison Brie.
The Masters of the Universe assortment features five-and-a-half-inch figures with 14 points of articulation, allowing for dynamic posing and battle reenactments. Each comes with signature accessories designed to reflect their on-screen appearances.
Beyond the individual figures, Mattel's Masters of the Universe lineup includes larger play elements such as the Roton Assault Vehicle equipped with spinning blades and projectile launchers, the Skeletor Talking Mask that delivers character phrases and laughter, and the Power of Grayskull Power Sword featuring lights, sounds, and motion-activated vibrations to simulate the transformative experience of wielding the legendary weapon.
