Man E Faces Sketch Book Series MOTU Origins Figure on Target

We first got our eyes on this one when Mattel pulled back the curtain on the Sketch Book Series lineup in their Spring 2026 catalog reveals, and now the Man-E-Faces Sketch Book Series MOTU Origins figure has officially landed on Target’s website, which means collectors can stop wondering about availability as we are. I have to admit, this is one of those figures that really hit the sweet spot for me because the entire concept behind the Sketch Book Series is rooted in pulling from Mark Taylor’s original 1980s concept art, designs that have never previously been translated into Origins action figures, and seeing Man-E-Faces get that treatment feels like a full circle moment for anyone who appreciates the foundational DNA of the Masters of the Universe brand. The figure comes equipped with a bold, textured poncho that is removable, giving you display options that range from his raw concept look to a more layered, ceremonial presentation, and the elaborate scepter he comes with adds a regal quality that really sets him apart from any Man-E-Faces release we have seen before. Of course, the signature turnable visage is intact, but this time around all three faces are completely new sculpts, which tells you Mattel was not content to simply repaint what already existed and instead committed to making this feel like a genuine interpretation of Taylor’s vision. Seeing it go live on Target is a big deal because it moves this from catalog tease to something tangible that collectors can actually secure although we don’t know when the figure will be available to order so stay tuned!

Man-E-Faces wears a large gold pharaoh-style helmet with a small white face featuring green accents and pink eyes framed within its opening. A black fabric robe with horizontal stripes in teal, purple, white, and green drapes over his gray body, paired with gold wrist cuffs, gold knee guards, and white boots. He includes a gold scepter accessory topped with an ornate eye-and-floral motif.

Posed holding his scepter in his left hand and the robe’s fabric has a soft, woven texture and hangs loosely around the figure, allowing the gold belt buckle detail at his waist to peek through. His human portrait is shown here.

From a different angle, the underside of Man-E-Faces’ robe shows the striped pattern continuing consistently across the full garment. His white boots feature gold trim along the edges, and his gray skin tone has a smooth, matte finish throughout the limbs. His robot portrait is shown here.

Man-E-Faces’ 3-eyed portrait is shown here and he looks like Ganon from Legend of Zelda!

The back of Man-E-Faces’ robe features a large gold printed emblem consisting of an eye symbol beneath a decorative floral crest, centered on the black fabric. His right hand hangs at his side in a relaxed fist while the left arm raises the scepter overhead.
