This year’s show at San Diego Comic-Con, held Thursday, July 25 beginning at 6 pm, will also honor other legendary Mattel brands including Hot Wheels, UNO and Magic 8 Ball through an incredible lineup of fashion and giveaways. 

Mattel will bring the lobby to life creating a vibrant showcase celebrating 35 years of Polly Pocket, highlighting nostalgic fashions across three plus decades. Guests can expect an immersive experience, filled with nostalgic charm, innovative displays and photo opportunities that pay homage to Polly Pocket whose legacy continues to make the ordinary extraordinary.

“As Mattel approaches its monumental 80th anniversary next year, we are delighted to celebrate geek culture couture by partnering with Her Universe to showcase unique designer interpretations of our IP,” said Meredith Norrie, Vice President of Global Licensing and Consumer Products, Mattel. “Mattel’s iconic house of brands have long served as a source of joy and inspiration to bring fans together at San Diego Comic-Con and beyond.

From the moment the lights go down, audiences will be enthralled by Ashley Eckstein’s cutting edge couture look, certain to make headlines as she does every year with her one-of-a-kind reveal. The dynamic hosting duo will then shine a spotlight on geek couture fashion, promising unforgettable surprises you won’t want to miss.

Masters Of The Universe Diamond Ray Of Disappearance Limited Edition Prop Replica

Factory Entertainment's design team, working with Mattel, wanted to create a real-world interpretation of this important 'McGuffin' that would bridge the realms of fantasy and reality. The Factory Entertainment team spent many hours studying the vintage animation, and drew inspiration from both the 1983 and 2002 series, as well as the cover art of the 2001 commemorative VHS release. This replica has been designed to capture all the iterations as a singular blended execution.

The box was first sculpted as a 3D model. Taking inspiration from ancient ossuary boxes, fine details where then added by hand to give the appearance of age and wear. It features mystical engraved script and is cast from polystone.

The stone itself is supported on an industrial-looking cradle that houses an LED lighting effect. This effect is triggered by a hidden sensor when the box is opened, lighting the diamond from beneath.

A round-cut diamond shape was chosen to maximize the sparkle when the LED light shines through its many facets. The stone is high pressure cast in acrylic.

Every replica is supplied in a full color collector box and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

Limited Edition of no more than 1,000 pieces.

The Diamond Ray Of Disappearance starts shipping July 1, 2022!


Regular Price: $249.99 - Factory Direct Discount: $224.99
For a limited time, all MOTU Diamond Ray Of Disappearance Prop Replicas ordered through FactoryEnt.com will receive early bird pricing of $224.99 each!
Factory Direct Discount Expires July 15th!
Payment Plans Are Available
ONLY AVAILABLE AT FACTORYENT.COM
