MOTU Masterverse Dump (Jan. 2024)

 Last year I caved in and started collecting 7" Masterverse figures, in spite of telling myself that the MOTU Origins line was all I would collect from Mattel's Masters of the Universe lines, but I love these too much! Collecting Masters of the Universe Classics was cost prohibitive when Mattel produced that 6" line back in 2009, so this is kind of like a second chance to own larger scale MOTU figures like that. I have a lot of them to show, so here's a Masterverse dump just to get some opened to be enjoyed...

I can't say enough good things about these Masteverse figures, that seem to just get better with each new wave. I have more of these to show you here on the Super-DuperToyBox, until then check out my November 2023 post on the Masteverse Whiplash, Clawful, Beastman, and Mer-Man!

MOTU Origins Snake Mountain Playset

 The anticipation for this Motu Origins Snake Mountain playset wasn't as crushing as for my Origins Castle Grayskull in 2021, but its initial dismissal as a piece unnecessary to my collection, never having it as a child in the '80s, soon dissolved. My childhood MOTU window was but a couple years long, and I have collected this new Origins line well past those first characters/playsets already. Life is short, buy the playset! My box got a little crunched, but I was able to use some Amazon Visa points to get mine shipped free for around $68.00. A fantastic value! Check out the video:

Snake Mountain is taller than the MOTU Origins Castle Grayskull, but it's "play area" is more split between the front and back of the playset. It is INSANE having these two big playsets for sale at retail today, Friends! Fun!

Also seen in the video above are these MOTU Origins Snake Men Series figures I've had on ice for a while now, awaiting the arrival of Snake Mountain! The mini comic version of Roboto was in one of these Snake Men waves, which was a must-have for me!

Shouldn't Teela be the Queen of Snake Mountain with that motif running through her story? The snake staff and armor? I bought the first Origins Teela, the Eternian Goddess (from the original mini comics), and now this outright Snake Teela! I want the Teela packed with the new Zoar bird, too!

The first MOTU Origins Roboto (2021) with my new mini comic variant...

And finally, the three mini comics included with these figures, featuring the classic cross-sell page on back showing all the figures in the other waves. I may have a couple or more of the other figures among the three waves represented, and they don't even cover all the Snake Men figures released in the Origins line.

MOTU Origins Wave 3

I've had this 3rd Wave of MOTU Origins since early spring, but have had a hard time keeping up with others Origins and Masters of the WWE I'd found thereafter as they became more available. I'd recommend preordering from BBTS to ensure safe arrival and best shipping price. Zodac and Mer-Man were in my childhood collection back in '82, so I was delighted to open those, but She-Ra and Roboto didn't disappoint. Check out the video:

Like the other MOTU Origins figures, Wave 3 included a mini comic, though Dimensional Doom doesn't include She-Ra. Artwork from the original Masters figures, drawn by Alfred Alcala set my young imagination alight. I enjoy seeing these in the new Origins line, and hope it does for kids today what it did for us in the '80s. Visit the Battle Ram Blog to see more about the original mini comics and Masters of the Universe toys!

Masters of the Universe Origins has been my absolute favorite line of the last year, and I'm really looking forward to what else is to be seen- quite a bit more according to a recent statement by the Mattel MOTU design team. The nostalgia that Origins has stirred in me was a surprise, and I'm really enjoying it. Recommended!
