NEWS: Power Lords to Return


The Four Horsemen - the design team behind the revitalization of retro lines The Masters of the Universe Classics and The Outer Space Men - are planning to do it again, this time with the obscure-yet-fondly-remembered 80s toy line, The Power Lords.

"The Mayan year 13.0.0.0.0 has begun. As foretold in 669 AD by the famous prophesy carved into Monument 6 in the Mayan site of Tortuguero, this date signals the return of the "Bolon Yokte Ku" -- The Nine Lords of Power. It is therefore, with great reverence, that the Four Horsemen of the Toypocalypse hereby proclaim the return of the Nine Power Lords and reveal the identity of a Tenth who dwells among us and has the power to save us all."

Four Horsemen Toy Design Studios are proud to announce the return of Power Lords: The Extra-Terrestrial Warriors action figure line.

It's been 30 years since world-renowned sci-fi artist Wayne Douglas Barlowe originally designed the ground-breaking Power Lords toy line released by Revell. Four Horsemen Toy Design have just acquired the Power Lords license and signed Wayne Barlowe as a creative consultant to help bring the Power Lords back in action figure form.


Getting to work with Barlowe on the much-anticipated return of Power Lordshas been the culmination of a life-long dream for Four Horsemen co-founder Eric Treadaway. Four Horsemen Studios are currently hard at work creating the new Power Lords prototypes that will be revealed during the Power Lords-themed Toypocalypse 3 Art Exhibit occurring in New York at TT Underground Gallery in February during New York Toy Fair 2013.

    1. It's not really a line I'm familiar with (I think I may have seen a loose figure once in a clearance/flea market bin) but anything the Horsemen do is always worth a look!
