Where to start with the MOTU Origins He-Man figures

MOTU Origins Figure - He-Man

He-Man, Skeletor, Evil-Lyn and Man-At-Arms each come at 5.5-inch scale with 16 points of articulation, so the question is who, not which. Start with He-Man and Skeletor, because both pages name the episode The Beginning, which Skeletor's page calls his first fight against He-Man.

Why He-Man and Skeletor first?

MOTU Origins Figure - He-Man is £20.69. He's a modern version of the 2002 toy, and his Power Sword sheathes on his back, which is where a sensible person keeps a sword.

MOTU Origins Figure - Skeletor costs the same, £20.69, and brings a ram-headed staff and two swords that combine into one double-edged weapon. He can turn up with two swords or one, depending on his mood. The page says this one is based on the episode called The Beginning, Skeletor's first big fight with He-Man.

Buy both and you're at £41.38. The pages say the removable body parts mix and match across MOTU Origins figures, which will cause a disagreement about who owns what.

Next come the supporting cast and a crossover

Evil-Lyn and Man-At-Arms are the same scale, the same joint count and the same price. Evil-Lyn comes with a staff-style wand. Man-At-Arms is Duncan, the master of weapons. He has a mace, and his chest armour and shoulder armour come off.

MOTU Origins Deluxe Figure - Beast Man, £26.99, is a step up. The page calls him Skeletor's hairy henchman and says he's bursting out of his packaging, and he comes with spiked armour and a flexible whip, plus a collector card. He's in a window box with deluxe graphics and is meant to be displayed in or out of it. His page gives no joint count, so don't assume 16.

MOTU Origins x ThunderCats Figure: Lion-O, £23.39, is the crossover. He has 16 movable joints at 5.5-inch scale and a Sword of Omens that can be held or sheathed on his back. His golden armour is removable for a more traditional Lion-O look, and he has 2 different hair styles. The page says the gear is mostly modular, so it can be swapped and shared.

Where does the Funko piece fit?

Pop! Town - MOTU - Sorceress w/Castle Grayskull, £34.19, is a vinyl figure about 3.75 inches (9.5 cm) tall. Its page ties it to the Masters of the Universe film (2026) and calls it a display piece. The title pairs the Sorceress with Castle Grayskull, but the page text only describes the Sorceress, so look at the pictures for what the castle part is. It's a different scale from the Origins figures, so think of it as a companion rather than a squad member.

Every Origins page here says ages 6 and older. The Cartoon Collection pages also talk about fond memories of the 200X toy line and a nostalgic showcase. So there's room on the shelf for a six-year-old and for anyone who remembers the cartoon.
