Princess of Power Masterverse - CATRA!

MOTU Princess of Power - Masterverse Wave 5 - Catra - Mattel 2022

Who would have imagined that 37 years after their television debut, the characters introduced in She-Ra: the Princess of Power would see a retail release of toys in their animated Filmation designs. Sure, collectors are very aware of the subscription-based Masters of the Universe Classics line (which released just about every She-Ra character during it's 6 year run). But for the more casual toy collector, or even a random shopper with a nostalgic heart, seeing these characters in the toy aisles is an amazing thing. They teased a She-Ra figure when the Masterverse line was first announced back in 2021 (by showing packaging designs in a presentation that included the Princess of Power logo). And I would always expect the character She-Ra to make an appearance in a MOTU toyline. But what I didn't expect was supporting POP figures of Catra, Frosta, and Shadow Weaver to be included in such short succession. This Catra is the second release and she's gorgeous. Let's check her out below!
































Catra comes with a shield, a scepter, two sets of hands, a removable cape, and her mask.
Please forgive the wrinkles in the cape, I was too impatient to iron it.




Catra's mask can raise or lower as shown below. It can be held in any position in between as well.




Unfortunately the mask is secured by two deep grooves in her temples, 
so a maskless display won't work without some customization.







































Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!


Here is Catra with the recent Masterverse She-Ra.




And he she is with her Masters of the Universe Classics version.






Cheers!
