Two of the most iconic toy properties of the 1980s are set to collide in 2024 as Mattel’s Masters of the Universe crosses over with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the all-new action figure line Masters of the Universe Origins Turtles of Grayskull, a collaboration marking the 40th anniversary of the Heroes in a Half-Shell.
“Bringing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles into Masters of the Universe is a dream come true for many action figure fans. This is an unprecedented moment to collide fan-favorite properties – never been done before in the rich history of both brands,” said PJ Lewis, Global Head of Action Figures at Mattel. “This collaboration represents two great brands that will ignite the imaginations of fans young and old alike.”
“It’s thrilling to see this special collection between Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Masters of the Universe come to fruition,” added Dion Vlachos, Executive Vice President of Licensing and Retail, Consumer Products & Experiences at Paramount. “Two incredibly popular franchises with multi-generational appeal coming together for a one-of-a-kind crossover toy line is something we know fans will embrace.”
As per the official press release, “the partnership between Masters of the Universe and TMNT 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 Masters of the Universe Origins Turtles of Grayskull toy line is set to launch in January 2024.
