At their Collector Night preview, Mattel introduced a handful of new figures for the Masters of the Universe Classics and 30th Anniversary lines. In the main Masters line, Spikor and the Snake Men 2-Pack will be available in July. Frosta, from the She-Ra cartoon, will be the August figure, but due to production delays will be available in September with the September figure, which is yet to be revealed.
For the 30th Anniversary line, Mattel revealed Sir Laser Lot. Laser Lot is the creation of DC Comics writer Geoff Johns, who is a huge Masters fan. There’s a story floating around that Johns submitted his character concept for Laser Lot with a crayon drawing.
