MOTU Origins 2027 Walmart Listings Reveal Build-A-Figure Waves 5 and 6

The Masters of the Universe Origins Build-A-Figure lineup is getting a little clearer! We’ve now verified Mattel product numbers for all six figures from our earlier report, and the consecutive numbering from JPM17 through JPM22 gives us a pretty good idea of how Waves 5 and 6 could be organized but we don’t know what the Build-A-Figure is quite yet. During SDCC 2026, Mattel revealed the first four Origins Build-A-Figure waves, with three figures making up each assortment. As we covered in our SDCC booth reveals and panel coverage, this new line draws inspiration from the vintage cross-sell illustrations used to advertise the original Masters of the Universe toys.

That’s where things get interesting and while the Walmart listings don’t include official images of these upcoming figures, the vintage artwork gives us an idea of what Mattel might have planned. Before we get into the figures, a huge shoutout to Battle Ram Blog! The vintage cross-sell illustrations featured throughout this article come from its incredible archive of Masters of the Universe history. It’s an invaluable resource for collectors, and we’re fortunate to have these illustrations preserved and documented.

Mattel hasn’t officially confirmed the Wave 5 and 6 assignments, but the product numbers suggest the following groupings.

MOTU Origins Build-A-Figure Wave 5

Our potential Wave 5 lineup consists of Fisto, Orko, and Hordak, with consecutive Mattel product numbers JPM17, JPM18, and JPM19.

Fisto

I’ve always loved Fisto going back to the vintage Masters of the Universe line, so I’m happy to see him joining the Origins Build-A-Figure lineup! His Mattel product number is JPM17, placing him first in our proposed Wave 5 assortment.

Fisto’s vintage cross-sell appearance remains fairly close to the character collectors know, although the silver and blue treatment of his armor offers an interesting opportunity. If Mattel follows the illustration, we could get a version specifically inspired by the cross-sell artwork rather than a straight recreation of the original toy, similar to the approach we saw with He-Man at SDCC 2026.

Orko

And then there’s Orko! We’ve now verified his Mattel product number as JPM18, filling the gap between Fisto and Hordak and completing our potential Wave 5 sequence.

Orko retains many of his familiar features in the vintage cross-sell illustration, including his oversized orange hat, hidden black face, and yellow eyes. His appearance doesn’t depart as dramatically from the original toy as some of the other characters in this assortment. What I’m really hoping for, though, is the return of his vintage coins and rip stick! Those were such fun accessories, and I’d love to see Mattel bring them back for this release. We don’t know anything about the included accessories yet, so we’ll have to wait and see.

Hordak

Rounding out our potential Wave 5 is Hordak, listed under Mattel product number JPM19. It’s great to see the leader of the Evil Horde joining this assortment, and I’m hoping his inclusion means Mattel has more Horde figures planned for Origins. There are still plenty of characters from Hordak’s ranks I’d love to see added to the collection!

Hordak’s vintage cross-sell artwork sticks relatively close to his familiar appearance, although there are some differences worth examining. He has a gray body with black armor and bright red details, along with a red cape and boots combining black and red. I’m curious how closely Mattel will follow those colors, particularly since Hordak has already received several interpretations throughout the Origins line.

MOTU Origins Build-A-Figure Wave 6

The next three Mattel product numbers pick up right where Wave 5 leaves off. Prince Adam, Evil-Lyn, and Battle Armor Skeletor carry JPM20, JPM21, and JPM22, respectively, suggesting they’re part of the following assortment.

Prince Adam

Prince Adam kicks off our potential Wave 6 with Mattel product number JPM20. My biggest hope for this release is that Mattel gives him a soft-goods shirt like the vintage figure. I’d love to see that classic approach return!

MOTU fans have been clamoring for a vintage-style Prince Adam in the Origins line, and the cross-sell artwork gives us another reason to be interested in this release. If Mattel follows the original illustration, we could finally get an Adam that feels much closer to his vintage roots. The shirt will be a big part of that for me. The vintage figure’s fabric clothing was one of the things that separated Prince Adam from He-Man, and I’d love to see it represented in this assortment.

Evil-Lyn

Of all six figures, Evil-Lyn is the one I’m looking forward to the most! Her previous MOTU Origins releases were pretty lackluster, particularly the face sculpt, so I’m hoping Mattel takes another shot at her. She’s listed under Mattel product number JPM21, putting her right between Prince Adam and Battle Armor Skeletor.

Evil-Lyn’s vintage cross-sell illustration features yellow skin and varying shades of blue across her headpiece, armor, boots, arm pieces, and staff. Those colors could make for a great Origins figure, but for me, the biggest potential improvement isn’t necessarily the paint applications.

It’s the face sculpt.

The noticeable smirk on the previous Origins versions always irked me. The expression in the vintage illustration is much more serious and, in my opinion, better suited to Evil-Lyn. I’m hoping Mattel gives her a new head sculpt inspired by that artwork rather than simply changing the colors of the existing figure. That alone could make this my favorite Origins version of Evil-Lyn!

Battle Armor Skeletor

Battle Armor Skeletor rounds out our potential Wave 6 with Mattel product number JPM22. It’s awesome to have another opportunity for a more vintage-looking Battle Armor Skelly, and if the Battle Armor He-Man revealed at SDCC is any indication, we could be in for a treat!

The vintage cross-sell artwork gives Skeletor his bright blue skin and yellow-green skull, along with black and purple armor and his Havoc Staff. I’m particularly interested in seeing how closely Mattel follows those colors when translating Battle Armor Skeletor into this new assortment. And with Battle Armor He-Man already revealed, it would be great to have the classic Battle Armor rivals together in the cross-sell-inspired Origins lineup.

What About the Next Build-A-Figures?

Now that we’ve verified all six Mattel product numbers, the potential Wave 5 and 6 lineups are looking amazing but there’s still one big mystery: which Build-A-Figures will accompany them?

Mattel introduced this cross-sell-inspired Origins line with Shadow Beast and Mask of Power Demon as the Build-A-Figures for its first two waves. The new Walmart listings don’t identify the Build-A-Figures for these potential later assortments or tell us which additional parts might come with each release. The consecutive JPM numbers give us a strong reason to believe these six characters belong together in two three-figure waves, but we’ll still need Mattel to confirm the assortments.

For now, the Walmart listings are not active preorders, and we don’t have official figure images or confirmed release dates. We’ll update everyone as more information becomes available, particularly when Mattel reveals which Build-A-Figures will accompany these potential Waves 5 and 6!
