Read MoreFor new Masters of the Universe fans, Evil-Lyn is one of the most important villains in the franchise. While Skeletor is the loud, power-hungry face of evil on Eternia, Evil-Lyn is often the sharp mind standing beside him. She is far more than just a henchwoman. In many versions of the story, she is a dangerous sorceress, a master manipulator, and one of the few characters clever enough to challenge Skeletor himself. Evil-Lyn first appeared in the classic 1980s Masters of the Universe toy line and quickly became a standout…

But long before cartoons or comics brought Eternia to life, it was the artistry on the packaging itself that captured imaginations on toy aisles worldwide. At the heart of that visual magic was a singular illustrator: Rudy Obrero.From Humble Beginnings to High-Drama Fantasy Rudy Obrero wasn’t born into the toy art world, nor did he dream of He-Man as a child. He was born…

Read MoreIn the late 1970s, Mattel was looking for its next big boys’ action brand. The company had already proven it could dominate shelves with Barbie and Hot Wheels, but it wanted a powerful fantasy hero who could compete with the growing wave of science-fiction and adventure toys. A turning point came after Mattel passed on the chance to make action figures for a major space movie license. Executives realized they didn’t want to rely on someone else’s universe again. Instead, they decided to build their own world from scratch—one that…

Read MoreShe-Ra: Princess of Power wasn’t just an 80s cartoon—it was a full-blown Saturday morning legend with muscles, magic, and meaning, and it absolutely was not “just for girls.” Back when neon ruled the world and every toy aisle looked like a plastic battlefield, She-Ra arrived in 1985 like a lightning bolt in a glittering cape, proving instantly that heroism doesn’t belong to one gender, one demographic, or one side of the playground. Sure, the marketing might’ve tried to sort kids into neat little boxes—this show for them, that show for…
