The Heroes and Villains of Eternia

The new line gives us our first real sense of the movie’s aesthetic. Most notably, we see the first-ever look at:

  • Nicholas Galitzine as Prince Adam/He-Man (complete with a movie-accurate Power Sword)

  • Camila Mendes as a battle-ready Teela

  • Jared Leto as Skeletor, the Evil Lord of Destruction, carrying his signature Havoc Staff.

  • Alison Brie as a menacing, “edgier” Evil-Lyn

A Closer Look at the Designs

Fans of the classic series will notice some familiar faces with updated cinematic twists. The Chronicles Tri-Klops includes the likeness of actor Kojo Attah and his iconic cybernetic eye, while Trap Jaw (Sam C. Wilson) features a highly detailed weaponized arm with a hook attachment.

The standout for many collectors will be Battle Cat, which features a muscular sculpt, a posable jaw, and lifelike glass eyes for enhanced realism.
