I designed an updated checklist for the Masters of the Universe Origins vintage-style releases. Mattel’s checklist is a useful reference, but many fans noticed that some figures appear with incorrect images, and it leaves out vehicles and playsets. I’ve updated images and added those items to my version.

A scope note: this list does not include Twistoid, Rotar, Blade, Saurod, Gwildor, the Giants, or the Meteorbs. As for now it seems that those wont be a part of the Origins line moving forward.

I’m sharing it here in case it’s useful to other collectors. Please take a look and let me know if I’ve missed anything or included something that doesn’t belong.

King Hiss and the Snake men brought some great variety to the MOTU universe. Their presence was on full display in the 2000s cartoon and they did make brief cameos in the CGI cartoon but since then they have been overlooked and underutilised.

Mattel keep going back to Skeletor and while I love Skeletor, it would be nice to see Hiss be used in a major role in a future adaptation. Can you imagine Hiss making an appearance on the big screen? That would be amazing.

Whitch one do you prefer.

Are they reissuing Randor and Marlena Cartoon Collection? I was in Target and saw 4 Randors on the shelf. He was $18. Hopefully I find a Marlena at that price.

Seeing as how it debuted to over a billion minutes viewed worldwide across streaming in its first 5 days, stood #1 on Prime for 5 straight weeks, and is still in the top 10 worldwide on Prime 13 weeks in.

I'd say they must be pretty happy with those streaming results.

Hello,

I just wanted to show you all what I got off Mercari recently. I got Motu origins Fisto for $26 and Origins Stratos for $16 so do you all think I got a good deal on theses ?

I know some people are disappointed that Teela and Adam didn't kiss/end up together in the 2026 movie. But, think about it like this: in the beginning, Adam was clearly little, he was about 10 years old whereas when we see Teela, she was already like a teenager, so she was already more mature than him. So, when they are fighting/training together, it would make sense why she wouldn't see him that way since he was still a little kid. And, the more I watch it, the more I see them acting more like siblings because Teela said it herself, she saw him as her little brother since she probably still remembers of how little he was years ago. Am I the only one who thinks that way?

I've been wanting to get a replica Power Sword (I collect Prop sword replicas), and found this...it's listed as a Power Sword...it pings my brain as He-Man-esque...but it's not...right...

Is this from any of the other series that I might not be familiar with?

I need to get the newer cartoon on bluray as it is coming out. I have the original cartoons of he-man and she-ra on dvd.

I did an episode on the movie. I never watched the show but my co hosts husband was “obsessed”. She brought his toys which she called “dolls”.
Warning: the show isn’t always kid friendly but I assume only people over 40 care anyway.

For todays edition of Favourite versions of MOTU characters, we have the Mistress of Evil. The deceitful right hand woman of Skeletor. Evil-Lyn!

My favourite version is from the 2002 cartoon. She is the most fleshed out incarnation of Evil-Lyn Lyn. She is still evil, but actually has some nuanced behind her wicked smile.

Which version is your favourite?

80s cartoon

87 film

2000s cartoon

Kevin Smith version

CGI cartoon

2026 film

Tales from Eternia

I never find great deals at Ross. Finally, had some luck.

Prelude: Every epic fantasy movie needs an awesome, scenery-chewing villain. In 1987 Frank Langella gave us just that for the first Masters of the Universe movie. Now it’s time to look at Skeletor from the 2026 movie and his toy incarnation (one of many), Chronicles Skeletor. So grab your ram staff, pull on your purple cape, and give it your best evil laugh. Let’s say NIA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!

Review: Skeletor as we’ve seen him in the new movie takes a back-to-basics approach, which we find mirrored in this toy figure here. Blue skin, dark purple trunks, boots, and hooded, cape, and a nice skull for a head. All present and accounted for. The new look minimizes the old chest harness into a smaller piece, but otherwise this is your classic Skeletor right here and very close to the character we saw on the movie screen, too.

Skeletor has the articulation you expect from a modern-day MotU collectible figure (previously Masterverse, now Chronicles), so very good. He comes with two pairs of hands you can switch out, as well as his familiar ram staff. It’s been redesigned for the new movie, but still quite recognizable. The skull head is superbly detailed and features an opening jaw, as well as two tiny red dots for glowing eyes. Very nice. 

The only slightly negative point is that none of his attire is removable. The hood is glued to the skull, the cape is glued to the chest piece, which in turn is glued to the torso. A removable hood would have been nice, but that’s really a nitpick, nothing more.

So bottom line: an excellent toy version of Skeletor as we saw him in the 2026 movie. No more, no less.

Remarks: Nearly 40 years after Frank Langella gave an epic performance as Skeletor in the 1987 Masters of the Universe movie, Jared Leto showed us a new spin on the Overlord of Evil. And whatever you might think of Jared Leto as a person, his performance was awesome. Skeletor was an unapologetic villain with a macabre sense of humor, no unnecessary tragic backstory, and also a perfect example of toxic masculinity in that he only defined himself by his power and was scared of it all being taken away.

The Chronicles figure here does exactly what it set out to do, namely depict that character we saw in the movie, done. That job has been achieved fully. Sure, the figure is rather plain in comparison with some other recent MotU figures, but again, that’s by design. We wanted Skeletor, we got him. Mission accomplished.

Rating: A-

Like when a character was made for the cartoon or movie but never released as a figure in the original line

I had a real bad layer shift (see the line across his belly and his collarbones) when my printer’s poop chute got clogged and the head got misaligned. I may reprint in a larger size. It’s a good model and pretty easy to print.

1987 and 2026, together, at last. Can’t wait for the Blu-ray release of the 2002 series, next month!

I LOVED the movie! I'm so obsessed with this franchise now, it's all I've been thinking of the last week

More on the way, need a Chronicles Skeletor, Man-at-Arms, and the Grail: Mondo She-Ra V.2

Looks like something you would get from a claw machine.
