Mattel celebrates 40 years of She-Ra with Despara Masters of the Universe Origins figure

May 24, 2025 by Amie Cranswick

In celebration of the 40th anniversary of She-Ra: Princess of Power, Mattel has revealed the Masters of the Universe Origins action figure for She-Ra’s villainous alter ego, the loyal servant of the Evil Horde, Despara. It is available to pre-order now, priced at $20.00/£24.00; take a look here…

As a loyal servant of the Horde, Despara is known for her formidable combat skills and dedication to Hordak. The last time we saw her was in the Classics line, and now we’ve brought her to the Origins line in time for the 40th anniversary of She-Ra: Princess of Power. Which is fitting, since (spoiler alert!) Despara was born as Princess Adora, the alter ego of She-Ra and the twin sister of He-Man, who helped her discover her true identity.

  • Masters of the Universe™ Origins Despara™ Action Figure
  • 5.5 inches tall, with 16 points of articulation
  • Interchangeable heads with Adora face and Hordak-style mask
  • Plastic cape includes holders for her two swords
  • Also equipped with body and skirt armour
