A CHRONICLES SCARE GLOW?! Now a black "Masters of the Universe" Logo "Chronicles" figure has surfaced (assumingly non-movie related)! It's SCARE GLOW... courtesy of the amazing tom-el-83 on Reddit! Check it out! This is what the proud first Scare Glow owner had to say: "Since today seems to be the day for posting things that haven't been officially announced yet, I contacted Mattel a little while ago about one of my Masterverse figures breaking basically out of the package. They didn't have that figure in stock (thankfully BBTS did, so it's in my Pile of Loot again), so they offered…

Mattel: Hey Mondo? Can we copy your homework!?!
Mondo: Sure. Just don't make it obvious
*Chronicles Scare Glow*
Its SHOCKING how inspired this figure seems from the Mondo 1/6 Deluxe Scare Glow. Its legit a discount version of that figure on so many levels. Looks a hell of a lot better than the MV version though.
Looks great! But also looks like another nail in the coffin for Masterverse if they're producing exclusives or non-movie figures in the Core or Chronicles line.
I imagine this and Gold Skeletor were going to be officially revealed at the Mattel Creations event next month but seem to of hit shelves first?
It says Inaugural Edition on the left side. If that is the line name.............
I’m confused… Chronicles Scareglow is taller than Masterverse Scareglow. Definitely in scale together.
But Pixel Dan and others said the movie Chronicles figures are smaller.
What scale is Chronicles in?!?!
I’m thrilled that Scareglow seems to scale great with Masterverse!
@grayskullguardsman I wouldn't be surprised if this is a New Eternia Scare Glow sculpt that ended up in a Chronicles box.

Not fair to compare. The Masterverse figure was an Revelation animation figure. A New Eternia Scare Glow would have looked wicked.
@grayskullguardsman I wouldn't be surprised if this is a New Eternia Scare Glow sculpt that ended up in a Chronicles box.
Possibly, similar to how Masterverse Revelation Moss Man started out very Classics-y. But this Scareglow has all the new Chronicles articulation and hand pins, etc. And seems to fit into the box similar to Chronicles movie He-man.

That's true. It could be a hybrid. The Masterverse design could have been ported over to Chronicles with all the updated articulation. It would explain the size.
This is very exciting! Since the news MV was being put on ice my interest had begun to wane. If Chronicles Scareglow is indeed the new MV, I can feel my eagerness coming on again!
One thing must be clarified: I, and possibly many others, simply don't care about the toy line being relabeled, as long as the course begun with Masterverse continues. I remember this character appearing on NE Ninjor's box art very well.
My mind is already set to Chronicles = Masterverse. Simply a new namesake to call it a new toyline for a hopefully new & bountiful era of MOTU that gets kicked off with the movie.
Selling it under a new name as the new thing with the movie also helps distribution channels if they want to have it in more toystores globally; especially those that got burned by Mattels snobby elitist approach later with Origins and likely Masterverse.
As ever with Mattel we need more information. That 'inaugural edition' could be yet another fucking subline from them. Maybe even a Cretins or store exclusive. It's bigger than Masterverse, seemingly, never mind what everybody thought Chronicles was (not helped by Mattel's nebulous spiel).
It's a definite case of wait and see. Hopefully it's Masterverse under a new name, that's all the vast majority really wanted.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Mattel has in their sublicence contracts, that they “own” all the designs and can legit use everything Mondo does…
Very confusing, very cool… It seems like Chronicles has different scales?? Or were Pixel Dan et al so off with their estimate how tall Chronicles is?
Like @onlyoneskeletor said, I really don’t care about the name, if they fit with my Masterverse, I’m happy about all of this.
(If the MOVIE Chronicles are smaller, I can live with that, since I’m not that keen on those as figures; if those are ALSO in MV scale, I may be more inclined to get some of the villains,…)
To be fair, cartoon-inspired figures will always have fewer details and unshaded color tones. As for the "Chronicles" figure, I think it's safe to say that it's the New Eternia version, unnecessarily relabeled. 🧐Its SHOCKING how inspired this figure seems from the Mondo 1/6 Deluxe Scare Glow. Its legit a discount version of that figure on so many levels. Looks a hell of a lot better than the MV version though.
SIZE COMPARISON:
Comparing the size of the Masterverse "Masters of the Universe: Revelation" Scare Glow figure with the Chronicles "Inaugural Edition" Scare Glow figure just recently revealed.

@admin At first glance, the new figure seems more imposing. However, I'm wondering what the result would be if both figures were correctly aligned.

The thing with REVEALED is that it’s very focused on Mattel Creations, exclusively. Perhaps they use it to clear up some confusion, OR maybe they do have some new Chronicles releases exclusively for Creations.
Otherwise, it could be that they just show the next couple Origins releases…, and move on to Barbie etc
actually, this new Scare Glow looks nice, I am really surprised it is same size as MV...like somebody said, this was probably supposed to be New Eternia version, but never mind...good sign if you ask me, hopefully, we will get Snake men and some other figs that were missing in MV...
Damn! All I've been doing is refreshing the Masterverse thread (out of habit). lol I'm missin all the fun over here.
I LOVE this new Scare Glow. That skull is awesome for copying in resin. And I love the green fire effect around his head just like my avatar. CHEF'S KISS!
I'm really hoping we'll get a classic style with the full glow-in-the-dark body like Classics in the Vintage Collection.
Now I'm just waiting to see what the hell is actually going on with the sizes. I want everything to stay 7" to go with Masterverse. I don't care if they call it Masterverse or Chronicles. Although "Masterverse" is lot easier to search for because nothing else shares that name. I can go to Amazon & simply search for "Masterverse" and only the MOTU figures show up. Search for "Chronicles" and you'll get a ton of Narnia stuff.

Very true! One slightly in front of the other and then the angle of the perspective makes it a little tricky.
This is what the owner added about the size of the new Scare Glow:
"So, side by side, his head is maybe a couple of millimeters taller than Revelation Scare Glow's. The flame collar does go a bit higher, though"
"As I said in another comment, the height difference between Revelation SG and Chronicles SG is pretty negligible. CSG has at best a few millimeters on RSG, unless you count the flame collar, which gives CSG probably 1.5-2cm additional height over RSG standing back to back. CSG does look bigger overall, but I think that's because his proportions are better. His head is significantly larger than RSG's, and the harness gives him wider-looking shoulders, which I think contributes to him looking larger overall"
