The Shaping Staff is a powerful artifact from the classic series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.
Powers[]
The staff served to amplify the witch's already impressive transmogrification skills, notably extending this effect more easily to other people.
History[]
Filmation[]
An ancient and powerful magical tool, the Staff was first discovered by Evil-Lyn and Beast Man within a cave in the Crystal Sea. Disguised as a travelling sorceress named Majestra, the pair of villains made their way into the Royal Palace, where the Staff was put to good use transforming Beast Man into a copy of King Randor, as well as the real king into a goat and Orko into a cricket.
The Staff proved efficacious even against He-Man and his allies, turning Teela into a frog and He-Man himself into a golden statue. Skeletor and Evil-Lyn next assaulted Castle Grayskull, where the Staff turned the Sorceress partway into a defenseless tree. With the telepathic assistance of He-Man, however, the Sorceress used her own magic to overcome the Staff's spell and free the hero.
In the resulting battle, He-Man sliced the Staff in half, freeing all those it had changed. Evil-Lyn attempted to use the remaining half of the Staff, but all this accomplished was to turn her into a bizarre snake-like creature.
He-Man: Tappers of Grayskull[]
The Shaping Staff was one of many artifacts featured in the Phone App game, He-Man: Tappers of Grayskull, which ended in 2018.
Revelation[]
A group of Evil Warriors use the Shaping Staff to gain access to Castle Grayskull in the beginning of the first episode of the series.
Masters of the Universe Origins[]
An Instagram Story from the Official masters of the Universe account, in a cryptic preview for the upcoming March 21, 2024 Mattel Reveal Event, showed a Mattel employee/model playing with the Cartoon Collection He-Man and Skeletor figure, while on a shelf behind him was the Cartoon Collection Evil-Lyn, holding the Shaping Staff. Which means that the Shaping Staff will be available as a toy accessory, but will also feature in the story of the included mini comic.
