An ancient, cold-blooded threat is officially slithering out from the mists of Preternia to claim dominion over Eternia once again. Mattel has pulled back the curtain on its next premium collector exclusive: the Masters of the Universe Chronicles King Hiss 6.5-inch action figure.
Serving as a major centerpiece addition to the highly detailed, modern Chronicles line, this release brings a completely fresh, terrifying design philosophy to the tyrannical leader of the Snake Men.
Shedding His Human Disguise
Standing in an impressive 6.5-inch scale, this Chronicles King Hiss features a brilliant architectural reinterpretation of the character. Instead of replicating the rigid, coiled mass of snakes found on the classic 1980s vintage figure, Mattel engineered this modern iteration with full modular transformability.
The figure is built heavily over a robust inner skeletal frame packing 30 points of articulation. Collectors can easily slide the character into his unassuming humanoid commander look, or swap out the entire head and arm assemblies to unleash his true, venomous serpentine form!
The intricate design features several premium gimmicks tailored to high-tier toy posing:
- Premium Scale Texturing: Both the figure’s underlying green torso and his secondary snake appendages are detailed with fine, textured scaly patterns.
- Articulated Serpent Jaws: All of the transforming snake heads feature fully functional, hinged lower jaws.
- Removable Tongues: Includes customizable, long pink snake tongues that can be plugged in or removed to alter his aggressive expression.
- Vibrant Metallic Finish: The snake armor panels sport a smooth gradient transition moving from metallic green down into a rich, golden luster.
True to the premium nature of the collector line, King Hiss ships inside stylized packaging heavily decorated with specialized custom artwork. The box features a removable internal cardboard graphic insert, serving as the perfect prehistoric jungle diorama backdrop to pose your figure in front of.
