Written by This past July, Mattel announced a new Masters of the Universe: Origins CASTLE GRAYSKULL Playset (based on Mark Taylor Prototype).
Available to pre-order as an exclusive through Amazon (no affiliation), this new Castle Grayskull was critized by some fans for simply being a repaint of the original Origins Castle Grayskull without any resculpting.
Well now, awesome friend to He-Mania.com @motuoriginscork has put together a terrific comparison of imagery so fans could see the difference between the two Castle Grayskulls. Check it out:
"The unusual non stylised post from me. Thought you appreciate some comparison shots. While I still lament the lack of a redesigned cast in the style of the prototype, I have to say it’s better than I thought in person. Most of you will want to wait for a price drop though."

We would like to thank again the awesome @motuoriginscork for sharing this awesome photo comparison with us, and be sure to follow him on Instagram!
We’ll see you next time!
It’s still a stupid missed opportunity and maybe worth it on clearance.
@kraken Even stranger is the timing they chose for this sale, which coincided with the Snake Lair crowdfunding campaign. Could Mattel have rushed this offer to cover some of the costs of the crowdfunding campaign? After all, they had one failed attempt with the Snake Lair.
@thedoctor See if it goes on sale on black friday.
I wouldn’t put anything past Mattel.
I am really on the fence about this one. with it being a US Amazon exclusive and not showing on the Canadian version. I may wait to see if it comes down in cost or to Canada before I bite the bullet on this playset. I just got the first Grayskull last week for Origins so no rush for me. I do want that Spaceman Suit though.
