The world of Masters of the Universe just got a little more crowded with the latest pre-orders for the Origins line, featuring two fearsome additions: Lord Gr’Asp and Terroar. These two figures bring some serious bite to the MOTU collection, both literally and figuratively. Available now for pre-order, these figures are a must-have for any fan looking to expand their roster of villains and creatures from the iconic series.
But before we dive into the details, let’s take a look at who these characters are and where they fit into the MOTU lore.
Who Are Lord Gr’Asp and Terroar?
Lord Gr’Asp is a character whose origins are as obscure as they are intriguing. Originally conceived as a concept for the “Powers of Grayskull” line, which was sadly never fully realized, Gr’Asp finally sees the light of day in the Origins line. He’s a humanoid reptilian creature with a mechanical claw arm and an insatiable thirst for power. Serving the Snake Men, Gr’Asp is a loyal, yet ambitious character who’s always on the lookout for ways to advance his standing within the evil ranks of Eternia .
Terroar, on the other hand, is a savage beast-man hybrid who is the result of a freakish experiment gone wrong—or right, depending on how you look at it. Initially part of the “Evil Mutants” faction, Terroar is a force to be reckoned with. With his animalistic strength and terrifying roar, he can paralyze his enemies in fear before tearing into them with feral ferocity. He’s the stuff of nightmares for the heroes of Eternia and a formidable addition to Skeletor’s army .
Getting Hands-On: My Take on the Figures
Having taken a good look at the images released for these figures, I have to say, the Origins line keeps knocking it out of the park.
Lord Gr’Asp – The Clawed Conqueror
Lord Gr’Asp’s figure captures his reptilian nature perfectly, with scales and textures that practically jump off the plastic. The vivid green coloration of his skin contrasts nicely with his darker armor, giving him a menacing appearance. The mechanical claw arm is especially well-done, looking both powerful and functional—like it could actually crush an enemy in its grasp. The figure also stays true to the original concept art, bringing this once-forgotten character to life in a way that feels both fresh and authentic.
If you’re a fan of the Snake Men, this figure is a no-brainer. Plus, it’s a perfect companion to some of the other Origins figures we’ve discussed before, like the Two-Bad Multipack.
Terroar – The Beastly Bruiser
Terroar’s figure captures his fierce hybrid nature perfectly. He’s a blend of different creatures, with scaly reptilian skin, sharp claws, and a jaw lined with menacing fangs. The color scheme is more subdued than some of the wilder characters, featuring dark greens and browns that emphasize his monstrous origins. His overall design is imposing, with a sculpt that highlights his animalistic strength and savage personality. The head sculpt is particularly noteworthy, with his snarling expression and sharp teeth ready to tear into any who dare cross his path.
In terms of playability and display, Terroar is a stellar figure. He pairs well with the more monstrous figures in the line, like the Mondo Scare Glow Deluxe, and is sure to be a hit among collectors looking to round out their evil armies.
Wrapping Up: What This Means for MOTU Collectors
These new Origins figures are not just another set of toys; they’re a piece of Masters of the Universe history brought back to life. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a newcomer to the franchise, Lord Gr’Asp and Terroar add a layer of depth and excitement to your collection. Their backstories, design, and overall execution make them standout additions that pay homage to the legacy of MOTU while keeping the spirit of the franchise alive and well.
So, whether you’re hunting for the latest toy news or expanding your collection with figures from the Marvel Legends Avengers line, you won’t want to miss out on these pre-orders. With Hasbro’s Infinity War Outriders still on everyone’s mind, it’s clear that the toy world is thriving—and these MOTU releases are a testament to that.
