Masters of the Universe Origins: Modulok – A Two-Headed, Multi-Limbed Monster with Endless Possibilities

Alright, fellow toy enthusiasts, it’s time to dive into another exciting release from the Masters of the Universe Origins line. The latest to crawl (and rearrange itself) out of Mattel’s vault is none other than Modulok, the fearsome multi-limbed monster from Evil Horde. And trust me, if you loved the original toy’s mix-and-match chaos, you’re in for a treat! Let’s take a closer look at the newly released prototype and packaging images, along with what makes this figure a must-have for your collection.

Modulok Brings the Classic Chaos Back

From what we’ve seen in the newly released prototype shots, Modulok stays true to his roots. He’s still the bizarre, nightmare-inducing creature that can break apart and reassemble into countless forms. With two heads, multiple arms, legs, and an array of parts, this figure allows fans to get creative with his unsettling designs. For collectors who loved the original vintage figure, this one is a faithful tribute while benefiting from all the modern enhancements of the MOTU Origins line.

The packaging, which was recently shown off, is pure nostalgia. It features that classic vintage artwork, depicting Modulok in all his monstrous glory. Mattel has clearly worked hard to ensure that while the figure stays true to the classic toy, the new version has more refined detailing and articulation. More pieces mean more options for customisation, which is exactly what Modulok is all about. Whether you’re building a two-headed terror or a multi-legged menace, you’ll have hours of fun (and frustration) putting him together.

Impressive Articulation and Display-Worthy Packaging

As with other figures in the Masters of the Universe Origins line, Modulok boasts solid articulation. But it’s not just about posing; it’s about mixing and matching. His ball-jointed limbs and swappable parts mean you can create a multitude of configurations—truly living up to his “beast of a thousand bodies” moniker. This flexibility, combined with some fantastic head sculpts, ensures Modulok isn’t just a static display piece. He’s a figure you’ll want to tinker with again and again.

The packaging gives off major retro vibes, with bright colours, vintage fonts, and that classic window showcasing Modulok’s disassembled parts. You can already tell, just from the packaging, that this figure was designed with collectors in mind. If you’re someone who prefers to keep your toys mint-in-box (MIB), Modulok will look pretty epic sitting on your shelf alongside your Two-Bad multipack or your Masterverse Skeletor .

Modulok’s Character: The Master of Mutability

Now, a bit of background on Modulok for those who might be new to this shape-shifting villain. In the Masters of the Universe universe, Modulok isn’t just another mindless brute—he’s a former scientist turned evil shapeshifter. His backstory (as told in the vintage He-Man and the Masters of the Universe cartoon) explains his insatiable desire for power and his ability to split into different body parts, making him one of Hordak’s most dangerous allies. In battle, he can modify his form to fit the situation, whether it’s to create a more imposing figure or adapt to environmental challenges . With his endless combination of body parts, it’s no wonder he was a fan favourite back in the day—and why he still holds that title in this updated form.

Modulok has always been about flexibility, both in character and toy form, and Mattel seems to have captured that spirit in this new release. The variety of pieces in the Origins figure gives collectors the freedom to design their own custom monster just like the original version, but with more precision.

Why Modulok Stands Out

Having seen the prototype and packaging images, I’m genuinely impressed by how Modulok is shaping up. The MOTU Origins line has been doing an excellent job at balancing vintage aesthetics with modern toy engineering, and Modulok is no exception. This figure promises to be one of the most customisable yet, and for those who love to tinker, it’s a dream come true.

What really gets me excited is the potential for display. Modulok isn’t just a toy you throw on a shelf and forget about. He invites interaction, whether it’s swapping his parts or finding the most grotesque configuration to surprise your friends (or scare your dog). For those of us who enjoy both nostalgia and modern playability, this figure offers the best of both worlds.

If you’ve already picked up some of the other MOTU Origins figures, like Two-Bad , then Modulok is going to fit right in with your growing Horde army. And, if you’re like me and have fond memories of hours spent assembling and reassembling the original toy, this is definitely one to add to your collection.
