MATTEL - MOTU ORIGINS
The 200X Cartoon Collection Is Real: Sorceress, Trap Jaw, Sy-Klone and Man-E-Faces Up for Pre-Order
Mattel's MOTU Origins Cartoon Collection goes 200X. Four figures live for pre-order on Amazon now, shipping October 1: Sorceress, Trap Jaw, Sy-Klone and an oversized Deluxe Man-E-Faces. Prices, accessories and the episode each one is pulled from.
Mattel has taken the MOTU Origins Cartoon Collection somewhere a lot of us have been quietly hoping it would go. Not the 1983 filmation look this time. The 200X look. The Mike Young Productions redesigns, the ones a whole cohort of fans count as their He-Man, rebuilt on the Origins body at 5.5 inches with 16 points of articulation.
Four are live for pre-order on Amazon right now. All four are listed as releasing October 1, 2026, sold and shipped by Amazon, with pre-order price protection.
The thing that makes this wave more than a repaint exercise is that every figure carries an accessory pulled from a specific 200X episode. Not a generic weapon sprue. A specific scene. That is a collector-facing decision and it shows somebody at Mattel is paying attention.
Sorceress
- 5.5 inch scale
- 16 points of articulation
- Winged staff
- Removable wings
- Ep: The Ties That Bind
The Heroic Guardian of Castle Grayskull in her 200X design, teal and gold, with the full feathered wing span and a gold winged staff. The wings are removable, and her appearance and accessories are drawn from the episode “The Ties That Bind.” Removable body parts mean she mix-and-matches with the other female Origins figures.
Trap Jaw
- 5.5 inch scale
- 16 points of articulation
- Swappable claw
- Swappable hook
- Ep: Trust
The Evil Mechanical-Jawed Warrior, and the 200X take is still the most aggressive version of this character ever designed. Green skin, red faceplate, and that enormous asymmetric mechanical arm and leg. He comes with a swappable claw and hook for the arm, inspired by the episode “Trust.”
Sy-Klone
- 5.5 inch scale
- 16 points of articulation
- Lenticular chest
- Shield and two rings
- Ep: The Mystery of Anwat Gar
The Heroic Human Tornado, blue and gold, with a lenticular chest detail and the two red rings that were first introduced on the 200X figure back in the day. He also ships with a shield. His look is tied to “The Mystery of Anwat Gar.”
That lenticular chest is the detail to watch. It is the single feature that most defined the 200X Sy-Klone toy, and carrying it onto an Origins body is a nice bit of respect for the source.
Man-E-Faces (Deluxe)
- Deluxe, oversized
- 16 points of articulation
- Rotating 3-face head
- Blaster and collector card
- Ep: The Monster Within
This is the one. Man-E-Faces is a Deluxe release, deliberately oversized against the standard Origins 5.5-inch scale, with a massive build and an oversized rotating head that turns through all three faces: Human, Robot, Monster. He comes with a blaster and a collector card, drawn from “The Monster Within,” and ships in a Deluxe window box built to display in or out of the package.
Being oversized is the right call. Man-E-Faces has always looked wrong when he is scaled down to match everybody else.
The quick version
| Figure | Price | Comes with | Episode |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sorceress | $19.43 | Winged staff, removable wings | The Ties That Bind |
| Trap Jaw | $19.43 | Swappable claw and hook | Trust |
| Sy-Klone | $19.43 | Shield, two red rings | The Mystery of Anwat Gar |
| Man-E-Faces (Deluxe) | $23.75 | Blaster, collector card | The Monster Within |
All four are 5.5-inch scale with 16 points of articulation and swappable body parts, rated 6 years and up, releasing October 1, 2026.
Why this wave matters
The Origins line has spent most of its life mining 1982 and the Filmation cartoon. That is the right instinct commercially, but it left the 2002 relaunch stranded. The 200X toys are hard to find and expensive now, and the show itself has aged better than almost anyone predicted. A cheap, articulated, in-scale way back into those designs is exactly what that part of the fandom has been asking for.
The wording on the listings also matters: “Fans will want to gather all the Cartoon Collection 200X figures.” That reads like the start of a sub-line, not a one-off four-pack of curiosities. If these move, there is an obvious runway behind them.
