Quietly revealed at SDCC 2022, Mekaneck and the Ground Ripper were officially confirmed to be coming to the MOTU Origins line. Special thanks to prideofgrayskull for the heads up and yo_tengo_el_poder for posting, we now have official images of the set featuring the Heroic Human Periscope and Warrior Carrier (I’m sure they could have thought a better subtitle for that one lol). If you recall, Back in March, our friends at @canaldosrosmineiros revealed that a Mekaneck Road Ripper 2 pack vehicle set was coming to Origins in 2023! This was very exciting news since fans have been clamoring for an Origins Mekaneck for a very long time now! Well, now that teased leak has been unofficially confirmed so to speak, because Mekaneck and the Road Ripper were silently spotted in the huge Eternia Playset display at the Mattel booth at San Diego Comic Con!
Official Images
We can see that the box features an homage to the vintage design with Mekaneck (instead of He-Man) tearing away from Castle Grayskull! This set comes with the Ground Ripper (back in the day it was called the Road Ripper) with an alternate head for the vehicle and Mekaneck with a neck extension piece and his famous yellow mace. This version of Mekaneck does not have his twisting, telescoping action feature so think of this figure as an homage to the MOTU Classics design where they gave him two neck pieces.
Mekaneck appears to have reflective goggles on his helmet, which is a great throwback to the vintage design.
Looking at Mekaneck’s extension piece on, he looks great and we are sure the Ground Ripper will be a tactical advantage for him! The neck piece is cast in a matte gray plastic and the mechanical and circuit detail on it.
Walmart & Amazon Link & Release Date Found
The Ground Ripper Mekaneck 2 pack was quietly unveiled at SDCC by being placed in the grand MOTU Origins Eternia Display. Today we found the AMAZON LINK for this new 2 pack! It is listed as the “Masters of the Universe Origins Ground Ripper & Mekaneck Action Figure” on Amazon’s website. It does not have any images and currently shows out of stock, but this is common place for Amazon as a place holder until they officially release the pre-order. It shows the release date as October 1, 2022. Be sure to check back often as the actual preorder can go live at any time! But this is an absolute confirmation that this set is really coming to Origins!
Walmart shows a release date of Nov 30th and PREORDER IS LIVE!!! The link is below!
