Masters of the Universe
"By the power of Grayskull!" With those words, Prince Adam raises the Power Sword and becomes He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe. Mattel launched the toyline in 1982, packing each figure with minicomics that sketched out the world of Eternia. The Filmation cartoon He-Man and the Masters of the Universe soon turned that world into a global phenomenon. At its heart is a gloriously bold premise: a heroic champion defending Castle Grayskull and the planet Eternia from the skull-faced sorcerer Skeletor. In 2002 the property was reborn in what fans call the 200X era, a relaunch whose sharper, more angular redesigns gave the classic characters a dynamic new edge and won a passionate following of its own.
Collector's Guide
Collectibles
The range centres on premium collector figures that honour the celebrated 200X aesthetic.

Why Collectors Love It
Eternia is a world where barbarian fantasy collides with science fiction, where swords share space with laser cannons and ancient castles hide advanced technology. That freedom produced some of the most inventive character designs in toy history and none loom larger than Skeletor, a villain so charismatic he is often as beloved as the hero he fights. The 200X redesigns took everything fans loved and sharpened it, adding intricate armour detail and dramatic proportions. Collecting He-Man and Skeletor together captures the essential duel at the heart of the whole saga, the eternal struggle for the secrets of Grayskull.
