Mattel’s Masters of the Universe and VeeFriends are collaborating to produce a special-edition Masters of the Universe Origins Skeletor & VeeFriends Skilled Skeleton 2-Pack and mini-comic.
What is the new VeeFriends x Mattel collaboration?
The collaboration sees Mattel teaming up with VeeFriends, a contemporary entertainment company created by entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk. The partnership will see the creation of the “Skilled Skeleton,” a character that “symbolizes VeeFriends’ mission to inspire optimism, accountability, and kindness,” alongside Skeletor from Masters of the Universe.
As part of the collaboration, VeeFriends — which typically has dealt more with trading cards and plush collectibles — will release a physical collectible for the toy. The Skilled Skeleton figure will come packaged with a “Filmation Skeletor” from the Masters of the Universe Origins line.
The figures will be available for pre-order exclusively on the Mattel Creations site beginning on October 6, 2023 at 12 p.m. EST. The two-pack will retail for $45.00
More details on the two-pack of figures can be seen below:
- Skilled Skeleton glows in the dark and comes with six swappable hands, removable hood, armor and a shareable VeeFriends flex chain.
- Masters of the Universe Skeletor includes three swappable heads for his multiple moods, five swappable hands, Sword of Power, Havoc Staff, and hood and armor.
- Both Skilled Skeleton and Skeletor’s heads are interchangeable.
- Each character in this special two-pack collaboration also has swappable “heart” and “rock” hands and 16-plus points of articulation.
- The figures are packaged in a custom box with sliding slipcovers and a mini-comic.
