Mattel MOTU Origins Figures

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:

  • He-Man
  • Skeletor
  • Teela
  • Man-At-Arms
  • Battle Cat
  • Orko
  • Prince Adam and the Sky Sled
  • Man-E-Faces
  • Evil-Lyn
  • Beast Man
  • Trap Jaw
  • Scare Glow

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.

x MOTWWEU Wave 2

Masters of the WWE Universe Wave 2 has dropped!  This is Mattel’s WWE and Masters of the Universe crossover line, using the new MOTU Origins style bodies.  For those who don’t know, Origins are vintage He-Man style bodies with added articulation.  Before MOTU Origins fully hits, they’ve been using the body style for this line, mixing up WWE Superstars and MOTU characters.  This wave has four pieces – Macho Man Randy Savage with Man At Arms callbacks, Rey Mysterio Jr. with Stratos pieces, John Cena Faker He-Man style, and Roman Reigns with Fisto elements.  In Package the MOTU elements are more hidden, but once out of the box they really show off their crossover feels.

MOTU collectors should note that the parts needed for future Origins characters not yet announced are being worked in here, so the designs are ready to go if/when they get there.

We’ve run these guys through a quick gallery. They are hitting Walmart now, where they are exclusive to.   Read on to check the shots courtesy of Mattel!
