Trap Jaw MOTU Origins Movie In-Box First Look

Hot off the press, and this time the intel is coming all the way from New Zealand! Massive thanks to Masterversal Toyhunter for the heads up on this one, because we now have our first look at the MOTU Origins Movie Trap Jaw in his full packaging, and it’s a great way to finally see how Mattel is presenting this figure on shelf. We’ve been tracking this release ever since the Walmart exclusive preorder went live, but seeing a figure sealed in its box out in the wild is always a different experience compared to official product shots, and this one does not disappoint. The sighting comes courtesy of Mark Hernandez, who managed to find the Origins Movie Trap Jaw at a Farmers store in New Zealand, which is interesting because this figure is a Walmart exclusive in the US, yet collectors in other regions are already finding it on shelves at retailers like Farmers and The Warehouse. The packaging itself gives us a clean look at how the figure sits in the box, showing off that movie-inspired design with the mechanical jaw and arm attachment that made Trap Jaw such an iconic part of the MOTU villain roster long before he ever hit the big screen. I love how these international sightings keep giving us a preview of what’s to come stateside, and for collectors in the US who are waiting on their Walmart orders or hoping to spot him on the pegs, this is a promising sign that distribution is moving along. It’s always fun when the hobby connects us across the globe like this, with a collector in New Zealand giving the rest of us our first real taste of what to expect. Can’t wait to see more in-hand shots start rolling in as this one spreads to more shelves.

Mark Hernandez coming through with a solid haul here, giving us our first look at the MOTU Origins Movie Trap Jaw in the wild alongside a mix of Chronicles and WWE Elite figures. This is a Walmart exclusive in the US, but it’s already showing up at Farmers in New Zealand, so big thanks to Masterversal Toyhunter for the heads up on that one.

The card art features a fiery, lava-filled Eternia backdrop with an illustrated Trap Jaw lunging forward in his movie-accurate armor, all dark metallic plating over blue skin. Big thanks to Romany Benitez for sharing this packaged shot from Farmers St Lukes, giving collectors a clean look at the blister window and the swap-out arm attachments packed alongside the figure.

Next to the Chronicles Tri-Klops, I like seeing how much more space Trap Jaw commands in the box, with the figure appearing taller and bulkier inside the packaging. The side-by-side view makes it clear he scales up noticeably, lining up more with the larger build seen on the movie Beast Man figure.

We get a tight, clear look at the figure here and this is easily our best look yet, with the bright green face sitting inside that orange helmet and the mechanical jaw sculpt locked in place. The upper body shows off the blue torso with a strap running across it, while the shoulder armor and oversized silver mechanical arm take up a lot of space on the left side of the bubble. Down below, the green belt, layered thigh armor, and dark boots come into view, and I like how the extra weapon pieces are tucked in along the sides without crowding the figure.

Trap Jaw MOTU Origins Movie Figure stands taller than the standard Origins scale, with blue skin, a tattered brown fur loincloth, and olive green armor plating on his belt and thighs. His massive mechanical arm ends in a hook attachment, and a blade is displayed alongside him as an alternate accessory.

The metallic gunmetal finish on Trap Jaw’s armored legs and shoulder pauldron has a nice sheen to it, with riveted details sculpted into the plates. His red helmet frames that green face with a jawless, toothy grin that’s classic Trap Jaw through and through.

Outfitted with a leather-look harness strap across his torso, Trap Jaw’s chest area shows sculpted rivet details along the brown crossbody band. I’m really digging the hook accessory on his mechanical arm, which has a nice silver plastic finish that contrasts well against the dark gunmetal of the arm itself.

Armed with the hook attachment extended outward, Trap Jaw’s mechanical arm shows off the layered cylindrical sculpt of its barrel section, with concentric ring details and a pointed spike protruding just behind the hook. The spiked shoulder pauldron and chest armor have a heavy, industrial look that fits the movie redesign well.

Trap Jaw’s green face is captured here with his mouth open, showing off the sculpted teeth along his upper jaw. The olive green belt and brown fur loincloth break up the blue torso nicely, and those dark mechanical legs have a ton of sculpted mechanical detail running all the way down to the boots.
