MOTU Origins build-a-figure system

General
1

Whether you love or hate the “build-a-figure” system, Mattel has decided to implement it for the MOTU Origins line, with the first wave already confirmed for 2027 (see: MOTU Origins Shadow Beast Build-A-Figure Wave 1 Listings - Toy Habits ). :roll_eyes:

It began with a test within the “Turtles of Grayskull” crossover line, featuring a wave that allowed you to build “Metal-Boto.”

This will continue in 2027 with two mini-waves that will allow for the construction of the Shadow Beast (the first half has been confirmed, consisting of Battle Armor Man-At-Arms, Beast-Man, and He-Man). :neutral_face:

Finally, a second “build-a-figure” wave is scheduled for 2027, allowing us to build the Masks of Power Demon Lizard figure. :smiling_face:

Beyond these projects—which were already announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2026—I’d like to highlight the potential that “build-a-figure” sets could offer us, even if, let’s be honest, the system is far from perfect. :thinking:

It could pave the way for new, massive figures that would otherwise be difficult to release through other means… :wink:
