Mattel has let us know that they have listened to the fans, and will be re-working some of the details of their Snake Lair Playset that was supposed to go live on August 12, 2024, but is not postponed for an undisclosed date. They had previously asked people via a survey what they would like to see offered for Snake Lair if it costs $300 plus shipping, and obviously they got some great feedback from you, the fans, and will be implementing some of those ideas and suggestions to make it more to your liking.
Details about this campaign are to come. Snake Lair was voted as top choice in Eternia’s Choice last year and they want to make it as best as possible, so stay tuned for updates. I can only hope that they’re going to be adding figures to this campaign, as the features and design of Snake Lair was already awesome.
Masters of the Universe figures are available on Entertainment Earth, BigBadToyStore and Amazon. Check out the Amazon Shopping Guide for all the new pre-order links.

Here is the press release sent during San Diego Comic-Con 2024:
The Snake Lair, fortress to the Snake Men faction, was first featured in Classics mini comics but never created in toy form. Now, you have the chance to bring it to life. It’ll feature a throne room for Lady Slither, with both a bi-pedal and serpentine design. Unwelcome visitors will be greeted with blasters, snatched up in capture devices, and placed into the iron maiden or snake shackles. We added a fully detachable Rattle Trap vehicle, also a first-time creation for the line. And we’ve got more surprises to reveal. Fund all the tiers and restore Lady Slither’s stronghold to its prehistoric glory!
