Look at What Mattel’s Cooking Up: New Castle Grayskull Bricks, Naruto Hot Wheels, Monster High Skeletor
Looking for a reason to buy collector’s editions of Mattel Products? With the toy drops revealed at the Mattel Creations Revealed event on Thursday, you might be able to make your case. Focusing on fandoms ranging from anime to Barbie to Monster High, the company has shared a new lineup of releases. Masters of the Universe fans: tune in.
You can stack Mattel bricks to create Eternia’s legendary Castle Grayskull with a new set (pictured above) that’s the first of its kind for the toy giant. Enter your screen – or play – with Masters of the Universe Nano figures featuring characters like He-Man, Evil-Lyn, Skeletor, Battle Cat and Teela. Available in the Brick Shop from April 25, the set will cost $65. For fans who want a little more nostalgia, you can also purchase the Laser Power He-Man Light-Up Figure for $30 to add to your display.
Mattel is on a roll with its Monster High Skullector series, with doll collaborations featuring iconic films and TV series like Coraline, Wednesday and Morticia, Pennywise and Alien. Skeletor was added to the collection and is quite the villain. Take a look at the outfit, the high heel boots and the iconic smirk. His staff speaks too, but I won’t spoil it by telling you the slogan. The price? $65.
Will you be adding this version of Skeletor to your Monster High collection?
If the He-Man franchise isn’t for you, you might be drawn to Naruto. Burn a Hot Wheels track with the Nissan Silvia S15 model that features the Naruto logo on both sides. Debuting as part of a partnership between Mattel and anime franchises, the car costs $25.
Naruto fans, this one is for you.
We’ve seen Barbie dabble in sewing in the past, and Mattel just revealed her atelier design that takes artisanal fashion to the next level. The new Grand Couture Silkstone articulated Barbie doll costs $342, is 14.5 inches tall and wears a ruffled coat (with a train) with a shimmering embroidered dress underneath. Drop earrings and pink boots complete the high-end look.
Not to be left out of today’s event, Ken was spotlighted with the release of his own Uno card game that features a variety of Kens. Celebrate his 65th birthday with the $13 game and you can decide if you’ve had Ken-ough of draw fours and jumps.

One of the other pop culture moments – and characters – commemorated by today’s toy reveal came in the form of WWE star Stone Cold Steve Austin. He has been immortalized in the form of a Mattel action figure that captures the moment he coined his slogan 3:16 30 years ago, with the Elite Collection addition coming equipped with a crown, table and throne. Get it for your WWE collection for $30.
