MOTU Origins BAF Wave 4 Details Revealed But What About He-Man’s Battle Armor?

Walmart has now loaded the product descriptions for the remaining three Masters of the Universe Origins Build-A-Figure releases, and we have some new details about Battle Armor He-Man, Faker, and Stratos! Following our earlier discovery of the Wave 3 listings and the official name of the Orc Monster, we can finally take a closer look at the other half of the assortment. Mattel showed all six figures at SDCC 2026, and they were already grouped together in the booth. What we didn’t know at the time was which wave numbers those groups would receive. The product codes we’ve since uncovered now point to Battle Armor He-Man, Faker, and Stratos being Wave 4.

Battle Armor He-Man

Battle Armor He-Man is listed under Mattel product number JPM14. When Mattel showed him at SDCC, we got a look at his battle-damaged chest armor and the axe he was displayed with. His Walmart description now confirms a Power Sword, although it doesn’t mention the axe. Battle Armor He-Man has me scratching my head 🤔

Walmart lists Battle Armor He-Man at $19.97, although the supplied listing screenshot shows him as out of stock. The listing identifies him as a 5.5-inch Origins figure with a Build-A-Figure part for the seven-inch Orc Monster.

The full product description confirms his Power Sword and battle-damaged harness. It also describes the connecting comic panels and side illustrations planned for all six figures in the assortment.

What’s Going On with He-Man’s Battle Armor and Axe?

The original MOTU Origins Battle Armor He-Man featured the classic rolling drum mechanism, which Mattel carried over to the Battlefield Warriors vac-metal version. I expected the same feature here, but Walmart’s description only mentions a battle-damaged harness and his Power Sword. That omission raises some questions about what Mattel has planned for his armor.

Meanwhile, Battle Armor Man-At-Arms was specifically described as having swappable armor. So will He-Man retain the rolling drum mechanism, use interchangeable armor plates, or have a single armor plate with permanent battle damage? And what about the axe Mattel displayed with him at SDCC? Walmart only confirms his Power Sword, leaving us with more questions than answers.

Faker

Now we’re getting to the figure I’m most excited about in Wave 4…Faker! I have some great childhood memories of Faker, even though I never had the original figure myself. My friend had him, so I only got to play with Faker when I went over to his house. I had Castle Grayskull, and he had Snake Mountain, so we’d bring our figures over to each other’s houses and play with the toys we didn’t have at home. It was a lot of fun getting to experience both playsets that way, and Faker always reminds me of those days. Mattel showed Faker at SDCC with his blue skin, orange hair, red armor, and Power Sword. The Walmart listing has since confirmed the sword and provided another detail about his “robotic nature” underneath his armor, which we can see peeking through here in the photo below.

Walmart lists Faker under product number JPM15, priced at $19.97 and shown as out of stock in the supplied screenshot. Like the other figures, he’ll include a piece of the seven-inch Orc Monster.

According to Walmart, Faker’s harness can be removed to reveal his robotic nature underneath. I’m curious to see exactly what Mattel has done with that feature, especially since the exposed robotic components are such a memorable part of the vintage character. The description doesn’t explain how much robotic detail will be visible, so we’ll have to wait for a closer look.

Stratos

Rounding out Wave 4 is Stratos, listed under Mattel product number JPM16. I’m a little lukewarm on this one compared with Faker, but I do like the redesigned harness Mattel showed us at SDCC. The redesigned harness is actually a throwback to the vintage Stratos cardback illustration, and I love seeing Mattel pull details like this from the original artwork to bring something different to the Origins line.

Walmart’s description confirms the new harness along with his signature wings that attach to his arms. He’ll also include a piece of the seven-inch Orc Monster Build-A-Figure, but again, we don’t know what part he comes with.

The listing identifies Stratos as a 5.5-inch figure with 16 points of articulation and removable body parts. He’s priced at $19.97 and is shown as out of stock in the supplied screenshot.

Bringing Waves 3 and 4 Together

With these latest descriptions, we now have Walmart details for five of the six figures Mattel showed at SDCC. Teela Faker remains the exception, since her listing still doesn’t provide the full accessory information we’re waiting for.

• Wave 3: Zodac (JPM11), Teela Faker (JPM12), and Trap Jaw (JPM13).
• Wave 4: Battle Armor He-Man (JPM14), Faker (JPM15), and Stratos (JPM16).
