What Is MOTU Origins 200X?

The MOTU Origins 200X subline brings designs from the early 2000s animated reboot into the Origins format. That 2002–2004 series gave Eternia a slicker, more anime-inspired look, modernising characters while deepening their backstories. Fans refer to it as “200X” because of its release window, and while the original toy line at the time struggled to find footing, its design language was strong enough to develop a cult following. Origins 200X figures take that visual style and reimagine it within the retro 5.5-inch scale, giving collectors a best-of-both-worlds scenario: vintage articulation with updated sculpts. It’s become one of the most visually distinct MOTU sublines to date.

Prince Adam 200X Origins – Teen Hero Rebooted

This is not the lounging-about Prince Adam of the Filmation days. The Prince Adam 200X Origins figure reflects his animated counterpart from the 2002 show, where he was portrayed as a more youthful and conflicted character. The design keeps the traditional pinks and purples but updates them with sharper edges and armour detailing.

There’s a seriousness to this sculpt that shows the divide between Prince Adam and He-Man, and for Origins collectors who’ve wanted more contrast between the two personas, this is a welcome shift. It’s also worth checking out how this figure fits into the wider context of the latest Masters of the Universe Origins 200X wave for full line-up cohesion.

Zodak 200X Origins Figure – Cosmic Cool Without Trying

Zodak always played in the grey area between hero and mystic, and the 200X version leaned into that hard. This Zodak 200X Origins figure looks sleek with metallic chest armour, intricate tattoos and a translucent energy staff. He feels like he stepped straight off the screen and onto the Origins cardback.

It’s great to see Mattel bring in characters that don’t always get top billing. Zodak adds depth to the wave, both in character representation and visual variety. The sculpt details do a lot of work here, and the figure stands out when flanked by more traditional heroes.

Clawful 200X Origins – A Deluxe Take on a Classic Villain

Clawful 200X Origins

This version of Clawful isn’t just a repaint or accessory swap. The Clawful 200X Origins figure is a full-blown deluxe release, and it earns the title. The sculpt leans heavily into his more menacing 200X appearance, with exaggerated claws, textured shell detailing and accessories that reflect his smarter, more strategic characterisation from the series. So far, Mattel has only released one official image of the figure, but even from that single shot, the upgrade in design is clear. If you’re familiar with our breakdown of the Mondo MOTU 200X Clawful 1:12 scale figure, this Origins version captures much of that same vibe at a far more affordable and display-friendly scale. It’s easily the standout of the wave for shelf presence.

Skeletor 200X Origins – Always Ready to Steal the Scene

Skeletor 200X Origins brings that sharper, darker take on the Evil Lord of Destruction that the reboot handled so well. The design here is less camp, more menace, with a sleeker skull sculpt, layered armour and signature staff.

While Origins has seen no shortage of Skeletor figures, this one feels fresh thanks to the anime-influenced redesign that gives him a taller, leaner silhouette. For collectors who’ve already got the standard Skeletor or even the Rise of Evil version, this one still offers something new for the shelf.

Where to Buy MOTU Origins 200X Prince Adam, Zodak, Clawful and Skeletor

You can find all four figures from MOTU Origins 200X Wave 3 up for preorder on major retailers, including Amazon and specialist toy shops. For those tracking the MOTU Origins 200X Wave 3 release date and price, most sites are quoting early 2026 for shipping windows, depending on region. These usually move quickly once they land, so if you’re eyeing Zodak or Clawful, it might be wise to act early. Pricing remains in line with previous waves, though Clawful’s deluxe status gives him a small bump.

Final Thoughts on MOTU Origins 200X Wave 3
