HE-MAN and TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES Mashup Action Figures - TURTLES OF GRAYSKULL
Two of the most popular toy lines from the 80s and 90s, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, are getting an official line of mashup action figures called Turtles of Grayskull. While the two properties come from different toy companies, Mattel and Playmates, when Nickelodeon bought the rights to the TMNT, they were willing to license them to other companies, which is what makes this mashup possible.
Mattel shared the following information in a press release: “The partnership between Masters of the Universe and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles allows fans to create new storytelling moments with the Turtles of Grayskull line which outfits characters including Leonardo and Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo with Eternian-style battle gear, and He-Man from Masters of the Universe will battle his Mutagen Mutation while Skeletor will don Turtle-inspired Armor. Merging these worlds, which are both narratively jam-packed with creative possibility, unlocks even more storytelling opportunities for fans across both brands.”
The images below show off the first six figures, which include a mutated He-Man, Man-at-Arms, Krang, Leonardo, Donatello, and the hybrid villain Mouse-Jaw. In the future, we’ll see Shredder, Splinter, Teela, Hordak, Skeletor, Beast Man, Ram Man, Casey Jones, Mikey, and Raph.
Turtles of Grayskull will be released in January of 2024.
