Before there was He-Ro, there was Eldor! After decades of waiting, the wise sorcerer of Preternia is finally joining the Masters of the Universe Origins line!
For longtime Masters of the Universe fans, few unproduced vintage prototypes hold as much mystique as Eldor. Originally slated for the classic 1980s Powers of Grayskull sub-line before it was canceled, the guardian of the “Book of Living Spells” and mentor to He-Ro has long been a grail character for vintage-style displays. Following his tease on the Snake Lair packaging, Mattel Creations has officially unleashed the MOTU Origins Eldor Action Figure.
What’s Inside the Box?
Mattel packed a serious amount of magic into this 5.5-inch scale release. Staying true to the classic Origins aesthetic while giving collectors plenty of display options, Eldor features 16 points of articulation and comes loaded with character-defining gear:
-
Removable Soft-Goods & Armor: Includes a detachable hood, belt, and jacket so you can customize his look from wandering sage to battle-ready sorcerer.
-
The “Book of Living Spells”: The legendary tome he used to transform his protégé He-Ro into the Most Powerful Wizard in the Universe, featuring printed arcane symbols across its detailed interior pages.
-
Mystic Accessories: Comes equipped with a wooden-style staff and a translucent crystal ball mounted on a gold-colored base for peering into Preternia’s future.
-
Pack-In Mini-Comic: Includes a brand-new mini-comic showcasing an Eldor adventure, all housed in collector-friendly packaging inspired by the wizard himself.
