Mattel Sponsors Masters of the Universe Art Show for Charity During New York Comic Con

Toy Tokyo and its Underground gallery have become a regular stop for me when I’m in NYC. The Four Horsemen have held their Toypocalypse events there the past two Toy Fairs, and now Mattel is using the venue to host a MOTU art show, with the benefits proceeding the Ronald McDonald House.

Toys, Masters of the Universe, and art? I’ll won’t miss it!

Approximately 20 pieces will be available to the public during the two-week exhibit, with Mattel donating all of its proceeds directly to Ronald McDonald House, a program that provides a “home-away-from-home” for families so they can stay close by their hospitalized child at little or no cost.
