...every 200X He-man and Skeletor figures MONDO has released, I’d have 6 nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it has happened 6 times. 😆

Anyway, I'm patiently waiting for MAA, Teela and Clawful to ship. As great as these guys are, I need more variety upon my shelf!

pretty sick for $10

Just got a notification from Amazon that my order has been rescheduled until the 28th. So much for ordering it the day they released it.

I know some may not agree but I do like the origins 200X figures more than the cartoon one's.

My Queen Marlena struggles to stand upright on her own, so I had to position her next to King Randor to help her stand straight.

Today, we cover the many versions of the Headstrong Master of the Universe. The Bombastic human Battering Ram. Ram Man!

My favourite version is from the 2000s cartoon. That version was headstrong but had a big heart and would fight to the death for his friends.

Which version is your favourite?

80s cartoon

2000s cartoon

Kevin Smith version (a more memorable cameo appearance)

Female version from CGI cartoon

2026 film

Tales from Eternia

Mondo has rapid fire released the new Man-At-Arms shortly after its Teela (200x) release (relatively speaking) and I'm here for it.

Not surprising, Mondo's designers and sculptors are top tier. The figure is filled with such a fantastic level of detail. I love how the orange armor looks... like its filled with tech but also home forged. The green parts look like he's wearing an armor body suit, just like the original 200x toy. I also love the heads that were included.

At least on my copy, the figure articulates nicely. No locked joints like the previously released Teela. So the figure articulates smoothly, for the most part. I do wish there was some sort of butterfly joints to give some extra in/out chest movement. And despite the double jointed elbows, you can only get about 90° of bend there. Despite this, it works well enough. Its not like Duncan is supposed to be a super agile character, so what articulation we get works for the character.

I do have some gripes, though.

First off, considering the price, I do wish there were more accessories. Two maces? That feels redundant. I would have loved more weapons... he is Man-At-Arms after all. If not more weapons, more weapon effects would have been nice. At there very least, I wish there were more hands. At least a pair of open/relaxed hands.

Speaking of hands, my second gripe: weak wrist for the weapon holding hands. Someone on another subreddit mentioned it and I was hoping it was just a one off... but my figure also suffered from weak wrists. The maces are so heavy that you can only hold them at very specific angles before the weight and gravity rotates them and flops around. Really disappointing and frustrating if you want to try and pose the figure dynamically.

Despite those flaws, however, the figure is beautiful to look at and looks so good with all of the other figures that have been released in this line so far. If Mondo could just tighten up its QC across all of their figures, then they would be perfect.

Hello MOTU fans. I have a couple of questions. Been collecting Origins since the beginning. I've seen photo of collectors that have Mekaneck and Prince Adam carded with the blister packaging attached to the board. Where can you find the repro boards and blister packaging? Any help is appreciated. Good Jouney

I was a little surprised Skeletor doesn’t have much articulation in his neck and arm, but I guess with the electronics it makes sense. Either way, he’s amazing and this duo is very worth it.

At least with the bundle you save $6 bucks, but I’ll never have the originals so I wanted to be sure to grab these even if I feel they were overpriced.

I actually bought him right after a local convention so it it was VERY FUNNY to buy him while cosplaying as Adam XD

My first figures, since childhood.

Hello,
I made my cartoon collection faker my he
Man in my collection took the cartoon collection head and put it on the faker body it looks amazing

That gym bro and the he man are my favorites.

I've seen some posts here over the years where collectors were displaying carded Origins figures in clamshell cases. Any one have links to where I can find those cases?
