From it\u2019s humble beginnings in Los Angeles in 1945, Mattel has grown into a behemoth of a toy and entertainment brand that has delighted generations of players and collectors. With its diverse and engaging lines, including Barbie, Hot Wheels, and many more, Mattel has managed to weather any storm in the toy market, and has grown to become the world\u2019s second largest toy maker.<\/p>\n

At San Diego Comic-Con, Mattel is always one of the hottest destinations on the show floor. Their line-up of fan-favorite franchises like Monster High, WWE, and Jurassic Park capture the imagination of pop culture enthusiasts with a presence that features immersive booth displays, engaging activities, and sought-after exclusives.<\/p>\n

Hot off the heels of the 2026 Masters of the Universe feature film, the Mattel booth will be hosting a Skeletor Cosplay Pose-Off on Saturday, July 25 at 10:45am. All eras and ages of Skeletor are welcome to come strike their very best menacing pose.

Fans can purchase this year\u2019s exclusives at Booth #2945, though they\u2019ll need a win first in the Comic-Con Exclusives Portal lottery when it opens, which will grant them a specific time to head to the booth to purchase. For those looking to purchase online, exclusives will also be available for pre-order<\/a> starting July 23, with a limit of 2 per item per customer.<\/p>\n

Now, let\u2019s dive into their exclusives:<\/p>\n

[UPDATE June 29]<\/p>\n

Mattel is back with their final round of San Diego Comic-Con exclusives today, all of which will be available for pre-order online<\/a> starting Thursday, July 23 at 9am PT.<\/p>\n

First, they\u2019re making a splash with their\u00a0Monster High Skullector Ghouls Rule Lagoona Blue Doll. The 10.5\u2033 doll is dressed for a Halloween masquerade she\u2019s hosting at the Eerie Aquarium, and is all eerie elegance with deep-sea details, from her flowing pleated dress with dramatic fin-inspired sleeves to skeletal eel accessories and an angler fish masquerade mask complete with a glowing pearl.<\/p>\n

The doll features 11 points of articulation, long blonde hair with aqua streaks, iridescent makeup, fin-shaped earrings, and fabric thigh-high boots paired with mesh socks. She comes displayed on a custom stand featuring dark waves and kraken tentacles, all housed in premium themed packaging with a Certificate of Authenticity. You can pick her up for $80, and she\u2019s limited to two per customer.<\/p>\n

Then, it\u2019s really our moment, as one of KPop Demon Hunters\u2018 most memorable scenes gets the Mattel treatment with this KPop Demon Hunters \u201cHow It\u2019s Done\u201d Ramyeon Figure 3-Pack. Inspired by the moment Rumi, Mira, and Zoey pause for a quick ramyeon break in the middle of the action, the three chibi-style figures feature the HUNTR\/X trio enjoying their noodles while still dressed in their signature performance outfits.<\/p>\n

Each 4\u2033 figure features glittery makeup, unique hair finishes, and a color-coordinated display stand. The set is packaged inside a plane-themed diorama inspired by the film, complete with exposed wiring, demon silhouettes, foil accents, hidden Easter eggs, and a window display that opens from the back for easy access. You can pick it up for $50.<\/p>\n

By the power of those abs! Mattel is leaning into one of the new Masters of the Universe movie (which is excellent and you should see it), and one of the most unexpected moments with Gym Bro Skeletor.<\/p>\n

Fans can pick up the Gym Bro Skeletor Action Figure, inspired by a scene where Skeletor invades Prince Adam\u2019s mind and takes on the persona of an over-the-top gym enthusiast. The figure trades his usual armor for a sleeveless purple hoodie, gym shorts, tube socks, and sneakers. Naturally, he\u2019s ready for leg day, complete with a loaded barbell, dumbbells with premium metal accents, and even a personalized gym towel.<\/p>\n

The exclusive also comes in fitness-inspired packaging that draws from a 1980s workout video. You don\u2019t need a gym membership to score him \u2014 just $50.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s\u00a0Jurassic Park\u00a0exclusive is paying homage to the city of San Diego, with a Jurassic World Hammond Collection 25th Anniversary Comic-Style Velociraptor. In honor of the 25th anniversary of\u00a0Jurassic Park III, Mattel has unleashed a 4\u2033 tall, specially styled version of the predator, featuring comic-style deco, multiple points of articulation.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the first time in the Hammond Collection for the dinosaur in this special comic style, and it even comes packaged in a premium window box featuring an inner comic-panel on display. You can pick it up for $25.<\/p>\n

[UPDATE June 22]<\/p>\n

[UPDATE June 17]<\/p>\n

Girls just wanna be San Diego Comic-Con exclusives.<\/p>\n

Mattel is paying tribute to one of the most rockin\u2019 partnerships in wrestling history with its WWE Rock \u2018n Wrestling Connection 3-Pack, which celebrates the 1984 moment when \u201cRowdy\u201d Roddy Piper\u2122 interviewed pop star Cyndi Lauper\u2122, Captain Lou Albano\u2122 crashed the conversation, and chaos ensued.<\/p>\n

All three figures are featured in this SDCC exclusive set, which marks the first-ever Cyndi Lauper action figure and recreates the trio as 6.5\u2033 scale figures with more than 25 points of articulation and Mattel\u2019s TrueFX facial detailing. Lauper comes with an alternate head sculpt and two additional pairs of hands, while Piper also comes with two additional pairs of hands, and Albano gets one extra pair of hands. The set also includes soft good s clothing and gear.<\/p>\n

The entire set is packaged inside a premium box designed to resemble a vintage 1980s television, like it stepped straight from the era that inspired it. You can get it at their booth (procedures still TBA) for $80 during San Diego Comic-Con, with limited quantities also available through Mattel Creations online<\/a>.<\/p>\n
