    Mattel Launches Mattel Creations to Celebrate 75 Years of Creativity (PRESS RELEASE)

    Pre-Order SKELETOR FIGURE here!

    Description:

    Originally introduced in 1982, Masters of the Universe captured the imaginations of kids with its “often imitated, but never duplicated” 5.5-inch action figure with exaggerated muscle tone. Step back inside of Eternia with new, reimagined figures that feature more articulation, but maintain the same signature form factor that have collectors shouting, “By the Power of Grayskull!” Skeletor is clearly a powerhouse figure that captures the retro style, and upgrades the inner workings for the modern collector.

    Mattel Launches Mattel Creations to Celebrate 75 Years of Creativity

    By Richard Dickson, President and Chief Operating Officer of Mattel

    It all began in a garage, with the words Mattel Creations painted above it. This was our birthplace of ideas that inspired the creativity of generations and created the toys that have transcended toyboxes to influence pop culture. Working within it, were the creators who began our company and set us on our journey to where we are today.

    To honor our creative legacy, in our 75th year, we’re launching a new brand, Mattel Creations – an e-commerce and content platform that will feature curated items for sale; highlight creator collaborations, past and present; and offer a peek into the creative process. This is a global platform that will offer our brands as a canvas to the most innovative creators of today and tomorrow.

    Collaboration has always been an integral part of Mattel’s heritage and Mattel Creations celebrates our iconic brands with unique, limited-edition iterations from today’s top artists, designers, musicians and creators working in collaboration with Mattel’s own top creative talent. Together they’re creating entirely new collections where toys are art, and art is inspired by toys.

    Purpose is core to Mattel’s mission and Mattel Creations is dedicated to giving back to the next generation of creators. So we are teaming up with ProjectArt, which offers tuition-free, after-school art classes to children in divested areas. Through ProjectArt, Mattel designers will connect with rising students to cultivate creativity and the next generation of creative talent.

    Follow @mattelcreations and check out our inaugural drop celebrating some of our iconic brands including Barbie, Hot Wheels, Masters of the Universe and Magic 8 Ball. Our new platform kicks-off today with the collections featured below and will be followed with weekly new drops. You don’t want to miss what’s next.

    Creativity has always been our superpower. And we’re just getting started.

    • Art of Engineering - This limited-edition collection, is designed specifically to give you a clear look at what goes into making some of our most iconic toys from Hot Wheels Bone Shaker to Barbie and Skeletor to Magic 8 Ball.


    • Patent Prints – Art posters of four iconic figures in schematic designs. Available as both limited-edition foil prints and a classic screen-prints.


    • Artist Collaboration Collection – Art prints featuring four exceptional, emerging artists who have been inspired by our brands to create art from our toys. The collection features:


    • Gianni Lee for Masters of the Universe – A multidisciplinary artist, Gianni Lee, reimagines the progression of Skeletor from Masters of the Universe through years of battling He-man.


    • Cristina Martinez for Barbie – Painter, Cristina Martinez, is inspired by the evolution of Barbie evolution over the past 60+ year and she’s developed a stylish, new depiction of the iconic doll for a diverse generation.


    • Distortedd for Magic 8 – Philadelphia illustrator and artist, Distortedd, uses her wild imagination to recreate Magic 8-Ball in her signature aesthetic.


    • Travis Ragsdale for Hot Wheels – 3D artist and animator, Travis Ragsdale, brings the Hot Wheels Bone Shaker to life as an energetic trip through his brain on an endless orange track.

    I'd love to have that Skeletor. I wonder how much it'll sell for.

    That's interesting!

    I'd be down for a clear Skeletor like that.

    Hope it comes on a special card. A clear figure will not look good on the origins/vintage card. Make it black but the same design and it could work.

    As much as I love clear Skeletor, I can't justify $50. And like, we already have a clear Origins figure in the form of Faker Cena, which makes this an even harder sell.

    Hopefully the packaging makes up for the price. Either way I like it.
