MOTU Core Wave 5 Official Details Bring Glow-In-Dark Accessories

The puzzle pieces around MOTU Core wave 5 have been coming together steadily over the past few weeks, and now we can add another layer to the picture that makes this assortment even more intriguing. We’ve previously reported on Evil-Lyn and another He-Man variant joining the 2026 movie lineup, followed by intel that Trap Jaw is also headed to the Core line, and more recently we dug into what appears to be a full rebrand of the Core figures under a new Battle of Subternia subline or packaging refresh. Now, pulling all of that together, we’ve unearthed details via Walmart that suggest wave 5 will consist of Evil-Lyn, Trap Jaw, and that additional He-Man variant, all carrying the Battle of Subternia branding, and here’s the part that really caught my attention: the assortment is set to include glow-in-the-dark accessories. That’s a fun aspect I wasn’t expecting from this line, and it immediately has me wondering what Subternia’s underground setting might mean for the aesthetic direction of these figures and their gear. Glow-in-the-dark elements have a way of tapping into that classic toy magic, the kind of feature that made vintage figures feel like they had secrets built into them, and pairing that with a Subternia theme feels like a smart creative choice that could give wave 5 a distinct identity within the broader Core lineup.
