Madsaki He-Man & Battle Cat MOTU Art Toy Sculpture by Madsaki

He-Man & Battle Cat Limited Edition Vinyl Art Toy Collectible Artwork by street graffiti artist Madsaki x MOTU. 2020 Madsaki and Mattel Creations teamed up to create these exclusive Madsaki x Masters of the Universe HE-MAN and BATTLE CAT Figures. The sculpture stands 16.75 inches tall. MADSAKI and MATTEL CREATIONS team up to create this exclusive and iconic drop-a scaled down re-creation of the larger-than-life HE-MAN® and BATTLE CAT® sculpture that turned the heads of fans and art critics alike as a centerpiece of MADSAKI'S "1984" solo exhibition at Tokyo's Kaikai Kiki Gallery in 2020. Measuring 17 inches tall and sculpted in an 80's cartoon style with a spray of jaw dropping modern-day street-style graffiti artwork, we proudly présent the most famous hero in all of Eternia", HE-MAN and the ferocious BATTLE CAT® in a manner that truly blurs the lines between toy and art masterpiece. Each sculpture includes a hand-signed certificate of authenticity from MADSAKI as well as white gloves to better care for your art piece. Displayed With Box MADSAKI x MOTU – He-Man & Battle Cat in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork The He-Man & Battle Cat limited edition vinyl sculpture by MADSAKI, produced in collaboration with Mattel Creations in 2020, is a vivid collision of nostalgia, pop culture, and urban rebellion—an unmistakable contribution to the world of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Originally unveiled as a centerpiece at MADSAKI’s 1984 solo exhibition at Tokyo’s Kaikai Kiki Gallery, this scaled-down 17-inch version captures the wild energy of its monumental counterpart while delivering a high-octane dose of '80s cartoon absurdity, rendered in riotous color and graffiti-style flair. With fluorescent green, electric pink, and piercing orange as the dominant palette, the piece transforms two of the most iconic characters from the Masters of the Universe franchise—He-Man and Battle Cat—into contemporary street art figures. Far from being a simple homage, MADSAKI’s version reimagines the figures as avatars of pop mythology filtered through a graffiti artist’s eye. The weaponry, armor, and pose remain true to the original animation aesthetics, but the exaggerated colors and chaotic paint styling push this artwork into a new domain where fine art, vinyl collectible, and graffiti sensibility coexist. Nostalgia Weaponized in Urban Neon MADSAKI’s approach is rooted in remix culture, a cornerstone of Street Pop Art. By appropriating the visual language of childhood—He-Man being one of the most recognized animated heroes of the 1980s—and subjecting it to the visual distortion of neon saturation and aggressive outlines, he elevates kitsch into critique. This isn't just about remembering Saturday morning cartoons. It’s about weaponizing those memories and examining how commercial entertainment shaped identity, masculinity, and fantasy in late capitalist culture. Battle Cat, usually a symbol of strength and raw primal energy, becomes a neon-soaked beast of postmodern absurdity, outfitted in shocking pink and radioactive green. MADSAKI transforms him from a beast of war into a graffiti-coded monument of cultural excess. He-Man, still holding his power sword aloft, looks less like a heroic defender and more like a psychedelic gladiator from the subconscious of a street artist raised on VHS and irony. From Canvas to Vinyl: MADSAKI's Street Pop Mutation MADSAKI is no stranger to remixing icons. Known for his drippy-eyed renditions of Western masterpieces and manga figures, he blends Japanese street sensibilities with New York-style graffiti lineage. His transition into vinyl sculpture with Mattel represents the natural evolution of Street Pop Art—where the gallery wall meets the collectible shelf, and where nostalgia is no longer passive but radicalized. This figure blurs lines between sculpture and street installation. The color choices mimic spray can aesthetics, and the glossy surfaces echo the polish of vinyl murals and toy design. Like KAWS, Sket-One, or Ron English, MADSAKI proves that sculptural vinyl can be a medium of confrontation—not just consumption. The figure comes with a hand-signed certificate and gloves for display, reinforcing its identity as both an artwork and a cultural artifact. MADSAKI’s Place in the Graffiti-Pop Canon MADSAKI’s He-Man & Battle Cat is a definitive artifact of modern Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. It combines satire, technical precision, collectible appeal, and cultural critique. Rather than separating art from toy or low from high, MADSAKI merges all categories into one ferocious drop that challenges the viewer’s nostalgia and their assumptions about what constitutes fine art. This sculpture is not simply fan service—it’s subversion. It transforms childhood heroes into fluorescent avatars of postmodern identity, rendered in the chromatic chaos of graffiti language. By injecting the streets into the plastic skin of global pop icons, MADSAKI cements his place among the artists reshaping visual culture one spray, sculpt, and scream at a time.

Emerald Tones: The Use of Green in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork

Green's Emergence in Urban Visual Culture

Green, the color of nature and rebirth, has made a significant leap from the natural world into the urban jungle, asserting its presence within street pop art and graffiti artwork. As a color, green has the unique ability to convey a wide range of emotions and messages, from tranquility and growth to envy and vigor. Within street pop and graffiti, green is not just a color; it's a statement. It brings a piece of the natural world into the often stark, concrete environment of the city, providing a stark contrast that can breathe life into inanimate structures and surfaces.

Technical Aspects of Green in Street Artistry

The technical application of green in urban art is as varied as the shades it can take on. In street pop art, green can be found in everything from the bright lime greens that scream for attention to the muted olive tones that suggest sophistication and earthiness. Graffiti artists favor the color for its ability to set a mood. Green can ground a piece with a sense of calmness or give it an edge of vibrancy. The particular hue selected can significantly affect the artwork's interaction with light and its surrounding environment, influencing how the work is perceived by its audience.

Green as a Cultural Signifier in Art

Culturally, green carries a wealth of significance that street and pop artists tap into. It's a color that can represent political movements, environmental activism, and social change. In street pop and graffiti art, green is often employed to draw connections to these themes, leveraging its cultural capital to amplify a message or cause. This symbolism is preserved in the audience; green can trigger a recognition of and engagement with the artwork's deeper narrative.

Color Dynamics: Green in Composition

In terms of color dynamics, green holds a place of versatility. It can harmonize or clash within a composition, depending on its application. The color theory utilized by street pop and graffiti artists often incorporates green to either blend seamlessly with other natural tones or to stand out against a complementary backdrop, such as red or orange. In compositions where green is used alongside shades of blue, a sense of tranquility and naturalism is often evoked. In contrast, its use of yellows can create an energizing and lively effect.

The Symbolism and Utility of Green in Urban Art

The symbolism of green in urban art stretches beyond its visual appeal. It is a valuable color, often used to create a sense of space and depth in a piece. Its various shades can add dimension and the illusion of texture, which is particularly useful in the flat surfaces that are typical canvases for street artists. Furthermore, green has an innate ability to draw the eye, serving as a focal point or a means to direct the viewer's attention to specific elements within the artwork.

Green in the Future of Street and Pop Art

As we look to the future of street pop art and graffiti, green's role seems poised to become even more prominent. With increasing awareness of environmental issues, green has become a color of advocacy—a visual call to arms. The continued use of green in urban art reflects not only aesthetic preferences but also a collective consciousness that resonates with contemporary concerns. Its application across murals, installations, and standalone pieces will likely evolve. Still, the message of green will remain clear: it is a color of life, thought, and the ever-present relationship between the urban and the natural. In every shade, from neon to forest, green in street pop art and graffiti artwork is a bridge between worlds. It is a reminder of the organic within the manufactured, a splash of vitality on the grey canvas of the city. Its application is as thoughtful as it is impactful, with each hue selected for its ability to communicate, to stand out, and to represent the myriad ideas that green encapsulates. Whether it whispers of growth or shouts of change, green is a color that demands to be seen and considered within the broader palette of urban expression.
