Description
The Storm horse toy, released by Mattel in 1984 as part of the She-Ra: Princess of Power line, is the fierce, powerful steed for Catra, She-Ra’s main adversary. Storm stands out as the darker counterpart to She-Ra’s winged horse, Swift Wind. With a sleek, intimidating design, this horse was crafted to reflect Catra’s edgy, villainous personality.
Storm features a dark, rich color scheme, often in deep purples or dark blues, with a striking silver saddle and bridle. The mane and tail were styled in a vibrant, contrasting color, usually red, giving Storm an eye-catching, almost mystical look. The figure also had slightly posable legs, allowing it to be posed as if in motion, ready to charge into battle alongside Catra.
The Storm horse toy added depth to the She-Ra collection by providing a steed for the villains, making it possible to stage dramatic battles between She-Ra on Swift Wind and Catra on Storm. For collectors, it’s a prized piece due to its distinct design and its role in completing Catra’s villainous ensemble, representing the darker side of the She-Ra universe.
