Official photos have begun popping up on European stores for the upcoming Masters of the Universe Origins 5.5″ Tall Figures. I spotted the pics from Lulu-Berlu, where they list the figures for a September release. Most of the images are high resolution, though a few are still lower quality. The images also give us an official look at much of the packaging, which pays tribute to the original figure packaging from the 80’s. Included are:
We’re still waiting for these figure to open up for pre-orders. With official photos being released, it shouldn’t bee too long. We will update as more images and info is released.

Mattel held a special press event at Toy Fair 2020 this morning. We have over 90 photos of their Masters of the Universe display. Fans can get a good sense of what Masters of the Universe Origins will be offering this year. They not only had a number of figures on display, but revealed the fist vehicle, as well as Battle Cat. Mattel is also bringing back stylized MOTU mini-figures. These look to be blind boxed figures, which will come packed in small Castle Grayskull and snake Mountain boxes. Finally, there are also photos of their Masters of the Universe Mega Construx.

Mega Construx, formerly Mega Bloks and now under the umbrella of Mattel, has been putting out higher end collector brick sets for a while. Included in the properties they cover, Masters of the Universe is now one of them. They’ve been doing great mini-figures, vehicles and more, really digging into the brand’s deep roster. Today we are taking a look at their first Pro-Builder level piece – Masters of the Universe Castle Grayskull. It is a massive set of 3508 pieces, “in scale” relatively for the mini-figures. It has 3 floors, hidden rooms, opening front gate, weapons racks (with weapons), a throne, working elevator, house banners and 6 different mini figures. He-Man, Skeletor, Man-At-Arms, Sorceress, The Goddess and Beast Man all get articulated mini fig representation here.
While bricks aren’t my normal thing, it was a fun romp putting it together. Took me forever as I only had time to do a little bit each day, but once done it was impressive. If you are into MOTU and have an itch before the Origins figures drop in full, then I suggest checking this out. It’s also a great way to introduce the MOTU lore to younger fans by doing a big project like this with some toons on in the background.
Castle Grayskull is out now, available at some of our sponsors and places like Amazon or eBay.
