Mattel Creations Virgil Abloh x MOTU Collector Figures

[toynewman]

Virgil Abloh’s newest canvas is the MOTU Revelations universe, and we couldn’t be more excited. The new Masters of the Universe c/o Virgil Abloh™ “TOY” figures feature monochromatic hues and text-based intervention that recontextualize the figures and allow people to look at these iconic toys in a new light.

Virgil Abloh leaves his mark on Eternia. In shades of monochromatic nude, our iconic characters from Masters of the Universe are reimagined by the legendary artist (and long-time MOTU fan). Choose from He-Man, Skeletor, Battle Cat, and Skele-god. Each figure comes with accessories like swappable hands and battle weapons for epic displays. Also included is a comic book and art print illustrated by Reggieknow

That'll be a hard pass on skeletope

I'm confused... What is Virgil Abloh's contribution here? the tools and sculpting was done by Mattel already. Was it just choosing the specific color of browns?

Chose the color of brown and put his name and the words “she," "her," etc on them. He must have done that over a year ago, because he's been dead. Wonder how much money his estate is making from slapping his name and "she" on a brown He-Man? Clearly you need to be more cultured and sophisticated than me to appreciate this.

You're on the internet attacking the family of a deceased artist for allowing a project that was in process when their family member passed to continue to completion.

I say this with all seriousness: please seek counseling.

Why do they have the words “war, woman, she and her” on them?

And we're done before this goes further off the rails (again). Thanks for playing, everyone.
