Happy Monday, MOTU fans. I hope you had a great weekend! For today’s #MastersMonday post, we’re checking out the Mattel Masters of the Universe Masterverse: Revelation Dark-Lyn!
Since 1983, Evil-Lyn has been a familiar character in the Masters of the Universe toyline, and nearly all her action figures have featured the design of a repainted Teela sculpt. You may have noticed last week that the Netflix MOTU Revelation series offered viewers a fresh look at the character. Here is another design from the ninth episode that pushes the boundaries of what we know to be Evil-Lyn.
Powerhouse Animation labeled this version of Lyn as “Godlyn” as she has taken her Eternian Goddess form. This Mattel Creations exclusive is packaged as “Dark-Lyn” and depicts Evil-Lyn completely turning her back on Skeletor and claiming the Power of Grayskull for herself.
Dark-Lyn stands out in the display at an impressive seven and a half inches tall, and sports 30 points of articulation, so you can definitely get her into the right pose, looking ready to kick someone’s butt on the toy shelf.
In addition to extra hands for open palms, grabbing, and fist options, she wears a newly crowned head, energy effects, a spiky collar piece, a cloth skirt piece, and a beautiful wired cape painted like the stars of the universe. I initially hesitated to pick this one up, but I’m so glad Mattel gave us this impressive design in action figure form.
Masters of the Universe Revelation/Revolution turned four years old this year! I “figure” there’ll be a new figure from this series to share here for the rest of the year!
