After the success of the 1/6 scale Skeletor and He-Man figures that Mondo released this year (Skeletor started arriving for pre-order customers last week), the company has announced the next Masters of the Universe character to join the ranks, Mer-Man!
Squidish Rex, more well-known as Mer-Man, is one of Skeletor’s most notorious henchmen, has been a major player in all MOTU franchises since the ’80s – one of the most popular of the original Mattel line, featured in the Filmation series, and present in the DC and Marvel comic books. A favorite among fans, he’s a natural choice for a 12″ figure.

As with the rest of the line, the Mondo 1/6 Mer-Man will feature over 30-points of articulation, “sea-powered” armor, and a wide array of accessories.
Mondo’s Exclusive Edition is only available for pre-order until August 16th at a $175 price point and will include an extra interchangeable head and a spear containing the Crimson Pearl – as seen above.

The regular edition is available for pre-order for $170 and will include all of the accessories, hands and feet seen above, along with the interchangeable Funimation-style head – just like Skeletor and He-Man.

The Skeletor and He-Man figures, the first two in the Mondo 1/6 MOTU line, came with real leather accessories on their armor; Skeletor’s cape is double-lined with a nice, heavy fabric and a chain front. Mer-Man comes with a gun accessory, as did He-Man.
As with Skeletor and He-Man, Mer-Man includes a classic Funimation head that inspires nostalgia for collectors and those who watched the original show. The artists on the Mer-Man are Ramirez Studios, Emiliano Santalucia , Joe Allard, Mara Ancheta, Jason Wires Productions – many of the same artists who worked on Skeletor.

Mondo expects to ship Mer-Man out to pre-order customers in December 2019. Visit Mondo’s official website for more details, or to pre-order.
