Written by Mattel has taken to social media to announce their Spring 2026 catalog for their Masters of the Universe: Origins line and Masterverse!
Check it out:
Origins:
“The legends of the 200X era return. ⚔️
“The Spring ’26 Masters of the Universe Origins catalog is here, packed with long-awaited heroes, fearsome villains, and deep-cut favorites from across Eternia.
“He-Man, Stratos, Tri-Klops, and Deluxe Beast Man are available for pre-sale now at select retailers.”
Masterverse:
“The Spring ’26 Masters of the Universe Masterverse collection delivers bold new takes on your favorite warriors. Which one are you picking up first?
“Anti-Eternia He-Man, Mosquitor, and Mantenna are available for pre-sale now at select retailers.”
Now while all the Masterverse and the lion’s share of figures in the Origins Spring Catalog have already been previewed online or at San Diego Comic-Con, we do have two brand new reveals, both from the “Sketchbook Series” subline of Origins: Mark Taylor He-Man and Mark Taylor Man-E-Faces!
No additional pre-order information nor dates have been made available as of yet.
Thanks to the awesome @sketchyskeletor for the ‘heads up’!
We’ll see you next time!
I’m surprised they’ve chosen Man E Faces instead of Red Beast (minus man lol).
Maybe they’ll do Mark Taylor Skeletor and Beastman in another set.
It is odd for them to be in the 200X set when they are not from that era.
Yellow.
Perhaps the ongoing complaints about ‘too many Beast Men in the wild’ made them more reluctant. After all, there is currently another one on sale in the 200X cartoon line. In any case, this grizzly-like character is bound to attract attention. In my opinion, he has the potential to be a top seller.
Now, when do we get the movie figures reveals?! lol
@dgsimo All I’m asking is that they’ll be Origins figures and not Masterverse ones. We have far fewer slots allocated for the latter; I don’t want the situation to get any worse. However, I’m confident since a ‘Chronicles’ Motu line is rumoured to be launched in the near future.
@onlyoneskeletor I think the rumors put them as being Masterverse scale with the WWE team involved due to actor scans for the sculpts? They were shown last month at LA Toy Preview and apparently look awesome.
@dgsimo Well, on a positive note, that’s money saved for Mondo 200X figures, for example. Unless Mattel goes crazy with this line and offers some cool vehicles and creatures unexpectedly, but I won’t change my mind about buying possible characters. It’s time to firmly reset some rules because my room won’t accommodate these extras.
@dgsimo Last month and no pictures have leaked online? In 2025? I call BS.
@durendal industry folks only so they weren’t risking breaking NDAs. Mattel also showed clips from the movie
Something did sort of leak from the event which AJ already reported on and it was the standee of He-Man and Battle Cat from the movie. Lol
I love Man-E-Face’s space sarape lol

Not much new stuff at all, but I’ll take those Mark Taylor figures! Especially MEF. That He-Man… we’ve already gotten similar figures from Remco or Formo… but the man deserves to have his version properly released.
That Man-e-Faces looks like doodoo.
For those that wanted 200x Origins, yay? But these are a lot! I don’t get why Mattel just doesn’t finish the Origins line first. For figures, I think we still need Blast Attack, Two-Bad, Stonedar, the spinning guys (Twistoid and Rotar), and the Giants. Any more? Also, many vehicles yet, although I don’t think Mattel will do them all. But, Battle Ram? Come on!
I get that Two-Bad will come out as Tuvar and Baddrah, like he did for the Filmation version, and that is good. But still, to me it would make sense to finish Origins before the new movie comes out.
@wvzx Preach. Remember this interview dude where Mattel admitted Two Bad was sculpted but on pause because they wanted to give cartoon collection the spotlight?

It looks like Mattel is doing it again with the 200X cartoon collection so screw that shit especially after eliminating the comics. I’ll buy the sketch figures and save myself some money.
@wvzx They also need the movie trio and the Laser figures.
I’m only buying the 200x faction leaders because my enthusiasm is running on fumes without buying the entire roster again. Or maybe even worse, an incomplete, dragged out one!
Taylor He-Man please and thank you!
