MOTU Origins 200X Cartoon Figures

I had zero initial interest in the MOTU Origins 200X Cartoon Collection, but one or two or three of these tempted me before I ended up putting the rest of them in my cart. I never really watched the 200X animated show, but I appreciate the fandom for it and the updated characters.

I hadn't intended to pick up this 200X He-Man but am glad I did.

Mattel got it right and gave us the properly oriented wrist hinge on his sword hand.

Like He-Man, the 200X Skeletor wasn't on my list, 

but I felt he was a must-have while getting the former...

Teela and Sorceress were a big draw to these 200X figures for me, 

with their great color and sculpts...

I'll admit, I love a winged figure, and I love the Egyptian inspired 200X Sorceress.

The 200X Orko doesn't have the deluxe base that the MOTU Origins Orko has, but he did get magic accessories to put his hands into...

And last but not least, my favorite of these 200X figures, Man-E-Faces- a larger deluxe figure in the line that's just an all-around good Man-E-Faces, no matter what 5.5" figures he stands next to.

While I don't plan on going too much deeper into the 200X line, I do enjoy these figures. In October of 2020, I had no idea how far Mattel would go with their Origins line, nor how deep I'd go with them. It has consistently been my favorite line of the last six years, and I still have a couple big boxes of them to share here on the Super-DuperToyBox!

MOTU 2026 Basic & Origins Movie Figures, Revenge of Skeletor Figure

I enjoyed the new Masters of the Universe film well enough but had little interest in collecting all the figures until I saw a few out on the pegs I liked. I rarely pick up an of the basic line movie figures from any movie franchise, but Teela and Man-At-Arms looked good and worth a try. Though they have no ankle articulation, the hinge swivel knees help with their balance and they are quite posable. Mattel has released a Battle for Eternia playset for the basic movie figures, a pretty cool 2-in 1 combination of Castle Grayskull and Snake Mountain, but these figures fit well enough in my MOTU Origins Vintage Edition Castle Grayskull.

Man-At-Arms has the added bonus of being able to stow his side arm on his thigh armor.

I like the metallic sheen of this Father/Daughter pair- quite striking!

There are at least three concurrently running figure lines for the new movie, the one most interesting me being the Origins figures that fit in with my large collection of that 5.5" line I've been amassing since 2020. Naturally, this He-Man was what interested me most and he is fantastic! Mattel even gave him a vertical hinge joint on his wrist to properly raise his sword- I Have The POWER!

Wave 1 He-Man (w/alt. head), Stranger Things He-Man, and Sketchbook Series He-Man...

I'm calling this the Revenge of Skeletor figure due to the title on the card back featuring some fantastic art, reminiscent of the old mini comics. He has a build more like the basic figures in the 2026 movie line. but I'm unsure of which mini comic Mattel used as inspiration for this gold Skeletor, but he certainly is unique!

I'm not sure I'll venture too much further into these movie lines, but I did enjoy these figures. More Origins-styled 5.5" figures could sway me, but I'm not sure Mattel will devote too many more movie-inspired characters to that format.

MOTU Origins Moss Man

I'm pretty sure I found this Deluxe Origins Moss Man in '22, but decided to bust him out apropos of nothing- or maybe I felt inspired by my new Origins Castle Grayskull, which has been lots of fun to play with! Yes, this is basically a green Beastman, but he's flocked so we all paid significantly more. He came with two heads, two weapons, and yellow armor that's a direct homage to the MOTU weapons pack back in the '80s. A really nice figure!

What if Moss Man and Beastman were evil partners trying 

to take over Castle Grayskull from He-Man ..?

...no, I think Buzz-Off would be a better partner for the benevolent Moss Man ...
