Masters of the Universe Movie Gets Masterverse Figures From Mattel

Say what you want about the 1987 Masters of the Universe film starring Dolph Lundgren, but the designs for He-Man and Skeletor were pretty interesting. With the He-Man franchise celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, Mattel dug deep to deliver new action figures based on the film. Granted, it's pretty clear they didn't get the rights to use Lundgren's likeness for He-Man like the Super7 figures from a few years back, but they are also a lot cheaper at $36.99 each. 

The He-Man and Skeletor Masters of the Universe figures stand at 7-inches tall and feature 30 points of articulation, swappable heads and hands, weapon accessories and a soft goods cape. The official details for each figure can be found below along with pre-order links.
