Since its creation in 1982, the Masters of the Universe franchise has transcended generations and ignited passion amongst fans around the world. Now, nearly 40 years later, Mattel’s relaunch of Masters of the Universe brings back the thrilling, heroic adventures of the Guardians of Grayskull with new content, toys, and consumer products to delight long-standing fans and introduce an entirely new generation to Eternia. Last summer, He-Man, Skeletor, and their motley crew returned to screens in Masters of the Universe: Revelation, a continuation of the classic storyline from the 1980s. While Masters of the Universe: Revelation was aimed at adult fans, clearly the adventures of He-Man caught the attention of kids today.
And now, Mattel proudly presents He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, a dazzling CG-animated series that reimagines the thrilling heroic adventures of the Guardians of Grayskull for this next generation of fans. It introduces an all-new He-Man for kids to call their own, one they can meet the very first time he holds aloft his magic sword and says, “By the Power of Grayskull, I have the Power!”
In order to save the Power of grayskull from being destroyed by Skeletor and his mind controlled royal army, He-Man and the Masters of the universe have taken castle Grayskull to the distant safety of the aerial kingdom of Avion — where brash braggadocio King Stratos is convinced he and he alone can lead the MOTU to victory.
Meanwhile, Teela, Ork-o and King Randor — left behind beneath the streets of Eternos — rally a resistance against the newly-crowned Lord Skeletor and his Dark masters. But in order for Teela to gain any ground with her impending insurrection, she and her team will need to win over the king of “the world below,” the multi-faceted Man-E-Faces!
But one throne and crown aren’t enough for Skeletor, who’s set his sights on using his newly acquired royal resources to unearth the long-lost Sigil of hssss — an ancient Eternian artifact once used by the legendary King Hssss himself to lead an army of the undead! As the race to save Eternia from Skeletor’s total conquest begins from both above and below, Prince Adam and He-Man will need to learn some hard lessons about how to be a leader — and how great the cost of victory can sometimes truly be…
Synopsis :
Adam, aided by his brave but inexperienced crew members, including a master of technology, a master of magic, a master of nature and a master of demolitions, together they attempt to save their planet Eternia and its inhabitants from the tyranny of the evil conqueror Skeletor.
