MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE: CHRONICLES Action Figures
THE toynews that had been flooding my TL on socials today belonged to MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE: CHRONICLES action figure adaptation of the upcoming live-action feature film (directed by Travis Knight)! EW.com is responsible for the still images reposted here, as well I've added "in-hand" images from reuters.com, from the Jan 29th Nuremberg Toy Fair...!
I certainly am curious if this current hype will further enhance the pop-culture appropriationability of the icons to custom and production toys in art toy culture, as has Ronald McDonald, Evangelion, Gundam, Optimus Prime et al, besides the classic muscled body toy-form... Well certainly depends on how the film does and how folks accept it, innit?
Synopsis: "A young man on Earth discovers a fabulous secret legacy as the prince of an alien planet, and must recover a magic sword and return home to protect his kingdom."
In theaters June 5th, 2026.
