Update: Dragstor MOTU Origins Mattel Creations Exclusive Preorder

Mattel has finally given us the tease we’ve been waiting for, and I have to say, I’m feeling that spark of excitement all over again as MOTU Origins Dragstor rolls back into the spotlight for his long-awaited debut! First revealed at San Diego Comic Con 2025 and later spotted again in an early glimpse at Oz Comic Con 2025, Dragstor has been sitting high on my personal “must-see again” list, so getting an official tease ahead of his December 9, 2025 preorder date feels like the perfect payoff. As one of the final remaining vintage characters to join the Origins line, Dragstor brings that classic mix of nostalgia and mechanical attitude that made him such a memorable part of the original collection, and knowing he’s also the last Mattel Creations exclusive of 2025 gives this drop that extra year-end hype I’m always eager to chase. I love when a figure taps into that sweet spot of collector history and modern Origins charm, and Dragstor does exactly that, revving up the close of the year in the best possible way. Whether you’ve been completing your Evil Horde display or just waiting for another vintage powerhouse to round out your shelves, this preorder is going to be one you don’t want to miss! His page is now live on Mattel Creations so save the date!

Dragstor bursts across the card front with that roaring ripcord energy, and I love how the artwork shows him tearing through a trail of sparks while the figure sits posed below with his signature wheel built into his torso and bold orange and blue armor framing the whole look. His accessories sit neatly beside him and the package layout really lets that vintage-style card art shine. Flipping to the back, the illustration pushes things even further as Dragstor lunges forward across a blazing path as he blasts through the Snake Men.

The figure shows off his classic ripcord feature as the long black pull cord slots into his torso wheel and sends him rolling across the ground once you give it a good yank, and I love seeing that motion captured as he darts forward. The rear view highlights the silver engine pack sculpted with tubing and vents, along with his crossbow raised in hand, giving me a great look at how all the mechanical detailing comes together on his back.

To get you hyped up, here is a comemrcial from yesteryear.

Today, Mattel Creations sent us a tease for what we know will be Dragstor being released with early access on December 9th, at 9am PST for Club Grayskull members, and then everyone else the next day.

Mattel Creations sent this tease in an email to Club Grayskull members.

Dragstor Concept by Masterversal Toyhunter

In crafting his custom figure, Masterversal Toyhunter embarked on a detailed journey that integrated various parts and sculpting techniques, seamlessly combining them into a cohesive masterpiece of a creation of what we hope to expect the Mattel Creation versions to turn out like. To understand how this figure came together, Masterversal Toyhunter provided all of the details so let’s take a look and see how this figure was made! The parts used to create this custom figure are as follows: Vintage Dragstor’s thigh grills, upper torso frame, backpack, and boots, of course! Origins Webstor’s arms, upper body, legs, and boot plugin sockets, along with Pig Head’s hands and Sun-Man’s forearm glove cuffs, were also utilized. Additionally, a ToG Hordak’s arm band and crotch part were included. The head base was crafted from a Masterverse Spikor and Stinkor’s face mask, with a sculpt of Dragstor’s detail layered over the top. Milliput epoxy putty served as the sculpting medium.

He began with the head, using a Masterverse Spikor as the base. Once a spare Vintage Dragstor was obtained, the customizer removed the arms and legs by cutting them off, mainly due to the mushroom peg joints. After removal, he was able to use those points to score around the molding seam and split the main body in half. Using a spare Vintage Dragstor, he removed the arms and legs by cutting them off, mainly due to the mushroom peg joints. After removal, he were able to use those points to score around the molding seam and split the main body in half.

He also cut away the boots and thigh grills from the Vintage Dragstor legs for use with the Origins Webstor leg parts. He cut into the legs to create extra plastic for gluing those parts in place, as they did not want to simply surface glue those details. For added pop-and-swap functionality, he whittled down the Webstor boots to the ankle to utilize the plug-in socket pop system in the Vintage Dragstor boots. After preparing that, he hollowed out the Dragstor boots to glue in Webstor’s boot peg sockets. Dragstor has glove cuffs that go over his forearm. For that detail, he took the arms of a spare Origins Sun-Man and cut off his forearm glove cuffs, hollowing them out like with the Vintage Dragstor boots while carefully keeping the peg sockets for the hands. He whittled down Webstor’s arms and cut away much of the wrist to pop and glue on the Sun-Man glove cuffs with Araldite epoxy glue. Notably, Sun-Man’s glove cuffs had an embossed star detail, which was easily sliced off and smoothed with a blunted edge of something hard.

For the main body frame and backpack, he used a Dremel rotary tool to remove the sides of the body down to the wheel frame belt and backpack. He also removed the molded-in crotch/cod section and found it necessary to remove material from the neck hole area to fit the front body frame to Webstor’s upper torso and provide clearance for the head sculpt to move back far enough to avoid dragging along the ground. The lower back of the head sculpt dipped into that area to prevent it from hitting the top of the backpack and restricting movement. Much of Webstor’s upper torso had a section removed from the middle for clearance for the action feature wheel. He also cut away the waist pop-and-swap peg area but wanted to maintain the use of the Origins neck peg and arm sockets. He cut a small bit of material out of the back of the neck and inside the back of the head sculpt to allow the neck peg joint to rock further back for vehicle mode. Once the back and front parts were fitted over what remained of the Webstor torso, he glued those on using Milliput to fill in the upper areas that did not touch the torso, locking the wheel axle on either side, as a 3-4mm gap was created between the front and back belt sections. He then made a rough shape of the belt to sand to shape later after the epoxy putty set hard, and he also used putty to fill in gaps created around the outer sides of the belt, being careful not to hinder the wheel mechanism. He also reconstructed the sides of the body using Milliput but opted for the Origins muscle features rather than sculpting the vintage body muscle form.

Additionally, he had to re-sculpt the shoulder pipes, which chipped off when splitting the Vintage Dragstor in half. The Crotch section, in which he used the crotch off the Turtles of Grayskull Hordak, he popped off the Legs from the Webstor’s Crotch / Cod piece after heating that area up in hot water – and placed those onto the Hordak Cod section. Although he initially wanted a waist pop-and-swap, the need for clearance for the wheel made that impossible. After considering multiple options for achieving a waist pop-and-swap, he decided against it as he would not have enough clearance for the wheel. Being careful not to Dremel out any major connecting pins and sockets holding the leg connector ball joint rod, he made sure to keep some of the top of the Crotch surface area in order to glue and plug that part under the upper torso assembly. In addition, he also sculpted on Milliput around the sides, front and back to widen the cod section to give more gluing surface. And after all that was glued in place, he just had to sculpt in the front Crotch detail just below the wheel housing frame. He then slipped on the TOG Hordak’s Evil Horde Arm Band on to complete the look of the vintage design.

Here is a photo of Masterversal Toyhunter’s concept next to the Vintage figure and we must say that he did an outstanding job and we will all be lucky if we get something even close to what he designed!

Vintage Dragstor

According to the Wiki Grayskull, Dragstor was Etherian peasant who was captured by Hordak and transformed into an evil cyborg. Due to Hordak’s modifications, he became one of the fastest beings on Etheria, with a wheel embedded into his chest and an engine on his back. Dragstor later displayed a rebellious attitude, exposed in his rivalry with the newest Horde warrior, Mosquitor. When He-Man asked him “Who’s your new friend?”, Dragstor replied “Mosquitor… and he’s no friend of mine!”
