First Look at the Masters of the Universe First Ones Movie Kids Line

Toy news really does have a knack for showing up when you least expect it, and I love that on what felt like a quiet Saturday, so many of you immediately reached out to make sure we were seeing the same thing you were, because that is honestly one of my favorite parts of running Toy Habits. There is something special about those moments when a few early images start circulating and the collective toy brain trust kicks into gear, comparing notes, lining things up, and trying to figure out what we are actually looking at. In this case, it looks like we may be getting our first look at a Masters of the Universe kids focused line that has been floating around in conversation for a while now, often referred to as the First Ones, though to be very clear, we are still waiting on official confirmation that this is indeed the final name of the line. That said, what we are seeing here lines up extremely well with information we were tipped off to months ago, which immediately caught my attention. The figures appear to be 5.5 inch scale and are based on the upcoming Masters of the Universe, kicking things off with a first wave that includes He-Man, Teela, and Beast Man. From a distance, this feels like a deliberate entry point for younger fans tied directly to the movie, while still keeping designs recognizable enough that longtime collectors are going to be curious to see how this all develops. Until Mattel officially locks in the branding and confirms the details, we are treating this as an early look and nothing more, but there is plenty here to dig into already, and if this is truly our first peek at the line, it is going to be very interesting as the Masters of the Universe movie lineup continues to expand. Huge thanks to all of our website visitors and viewers for letting us know as the original footage can be found on quinirg Instagram!

Here’s a look at all 3 from another angle.

He-Man

He’s shown carded with a blonde, shoulder length hair sculpt, a neutral face with a focused expression, and a chest harness featuring a silver emblem with a red cross at the center. I like how the figure is packed with the silver Power Sword positioned along the side, while the brown loincloth, belt details, and wrist bracers keep the look grounded and straightforward.

The packaging art leans into that same face off energy we have seen with the MOTU Chronicles heroes and villains, with opposing character imagery flanking the figure and reinforcing that good versus evil setup right on the card.

Out of the package, the figure comes across with a clean blond hair sculpt that sits just above the shoulders, paired with a neutral face sculpt that keeps the expression focused and calm. The chest armor features a metallic silver finish with a bold red cross emblem at the center, layered over brown shoulder straps, while the matching belt and skirt armor carry sculpted textures that break up the surface nicely as the figure stands planted. Brown wrist bracers and boots round out the look, and in hand it feels like everything locks together cleanly as you start moving him around on the shelf.

With the sword in hand, the figure shows off the silver Power Sword design with an open guard and tapered blade that fits cleanly into the grip, sitting naturally against the bracers and forearm. The chest armor and belt catch the light again here, with the red emblem centered up front and layered brown straps wrapping tightly around the torso, while the skirt pieces hang evenly without interfering as I tilt him into a wider stance.

The back of the card lays out the cross sell clearly, showing He Man centered with Beast Man and Teela positioned ahead of him, all staged on a rocky landscape that frames them as part of the same wave. I like how the power abilities chart is presented on the left, breaking down strength, speed, skill, and other attributes with simple bar graphics tied specifically to He Man. The layout keeps everything easy to read while reinforcing that these figures are meant to be collected together, with the character lineup and stats doing most of the storytelling work on the rear panel.

Seeing the new He Man packaging lined up next to the MOTU Origins figures really puts the size difference into perspective, with the new card on the left coming across as noticeably more compact while still fitting cleanly on the shelf. I like how the figure itself keeps familiar proportions and accessories, but the tighter bubble and shorter card give it a very different presence when placed alongside the taller Origins cards. Having them side by side makes it easy to spot how this line is being positioned visually, especially when you stack multiple characters together and compare how much shelf space each format actually takes up.

Teela

Teela is shown carded with a long red hair sculpt, a calm face with a slight smile, and a gold armored top paired with silver pants that feature sculpted panel lines and strap details at the thighs. I like how the brown forearm bracers break up the metallic colors, and the sword accessory is packed cleanly along the side so you can see the full blade design through the bubble. The card art echoes her look with a ready stance, and seeing the figure straight on makes it easy to take in the paint separation and sculpted textures across the outfit.

Beast Man

Beast Man is shown carded with a snarling face sculpt, red mane framing the head and shoulders, and a tan body finish with textured fur detailing across the arms and legs. I like how the figure is packed with the whip coiled along the side of the bubble, while the dark loincloth, wrist cuffs, and chest emblem break up the warmer tones. The card art leans into a more aggressive look for the character, matching the expression on the sculpt and giving a clear view of the paint and sculpted textures right through the bubble.

The figure comes across with a snarling head sculpt that shows an open mouth, sharp fangs, and deep blue eyes set into a pale face, framed by a thick red mane that spreads across the shoulders and upper chest. Horns push out from the sides of the head, while the torso and limbs are covered in textured fur sculpting that carries through the arms and legs, paired with dark wrist bands and clawed hands and feet. A dark skirt hangs from the waist with a small gold chest ornament sitting at the center, and the whip accessory curves naturally through the hand as I lean him forward into a wide, grounded stance.

The rear card keeps the same lineup concept but shifts the presentation with a purple toned landscape, showing He Man and Teela positioned above while Beast Man is featured lower on the rocky terrain with his whip raised. I like how the power abilities chart on the right is specific to Beast Man, using the same bar style but clearly keyed to his strengths and skills rather than He Man’s. The card art also brings in Snake Mountain looming in the background, which helps anchor Beast Man to his familiar environment while keeping the overall layout consistent with the rest of the wave.
