Also, some juicy 2026 rumors:
MOTUxThundercats wave 3 is rumored to be new versions of Lion-O and Panthro joined by “Panthor Man”. The latter, presumably, being a modified Battlecat Man to evoke Skeletor’s steed. Toy Habits scrounged up some nifty custom images of what it might look like.
With the new live action film in 2026, Mattel is going to be “rebranding” Masterverse into Chronicles. Sourced from “He Tell Me” by Toy Habits, and following up on Mattel’s comments last May, Masterverse will be rebranded into Chronicles with a focus (initially) on being a tie in to the live action film. One of the more interesting tidbits was that one of the first characters featured from the film will be…Scareglow?!
Plus, a rerun or modified King Randor 200x style will be featured next year as the Cartoon Collection will shift to focus on the 200x series, including a rumored deluxe Beast Man.
Presumably, Mattel will have a strong showing for Origins/Crossovers and Masterverse at SDCC, with next Toy Fair possibly having a big focus on the live action He-Man film (and the return of DC to the Mattel action portfolio)
