MOTU Chronicles Wave 1 Masters of the Universe Movie Possible Preorder Dates

The MOTU Chronicles rollout just keeps getting more interesting, and this latest bit of timing speculation feels like it deserves its own spotlight as we try to piece together what Mattel may be lining up next. With the MOTU Chronicles reveal now fully out in the open and figures officially confirmed with an April 25, 2026 on-shelf date, my attention immediately turned to when preorders might actually go live, and that’s where things start to get fun. According to Entertainment Earth’s Drop Zone, there’s a strong possibility we could see these figures open up for preorder either on February 6 or February 13, 2026, and it’s hard not to circle February 13 as the more intriguing option since it lands just one day before New York Toy Fair 2026 kicks off. That kind of timing feels very deliberate if Mattel is aiming to roll straight from preorder hype into a full Toy Fair presence. Of course, I’ll be the first to admit that reading the EE Drop Zone tea leaves has gotten us into trouble before, and this could just as easily apply to another Mattel property entirely, but when you factor in the confirmed release window, the dates start to feel plausible for a MOTU Chronicles preorder drop. If that ends up being the case, the first wave is will feature He-Man, Man-At-Arms, and Tri-Klops for the wave that will kick off and reign in the new Masters of the Universe movie.

Where to Buy

We expect Wave 1 to drop either on February 6 or 13th and you can preorder Wave 1 at the following retailers!

He-Man

He’s standing tall with the sword raised high overhead, the blade angled slightly forward as if he’s calling on its power. The figure wears a brown chest harness with a red cross emblem set into the armor plate, paired with a layered brown loincloth that has sculpted panel lines and weathered texture. Brown bracers wrap both forearms and tall strapped boots anchor the stance, while the longer blond hair frames a focused expression that feels locked into the moment as he grips the sword tightly in his right hand and keeps the left fist clenched, ready to move.

He-Man is shown from the back with the Power Sword slung over his shoulder, and I like how this angle puts the harness and rear armor details front and center. The brown straps sit cleanly across the back and connect naturally into the waist armor, which has layered paneling and sharp sculpted edges that read clearly under the lighting. The sword looks solid in hand with a smooth metallic finish, and the boots and bracers carry consistent texture and paint, giving the whole figure a cohesive look that really comes through when you slow down and study it from this view.

The boxed He Man figure being held by Nicholas Galitzine, showing the Chronicles movie style design clearly through the window. The figure inside wears the brown chest harness with the red cross emblem, brown bracers, and layered loincloth, with an alternate set of hands and the sword visible alongside him in the tray. The card art on the right side of the box shows a painted portrait matching the figure’s longer blond hair and armor details, and I like how the packaging frames the figure tightly so everything feels front and center.

Man-At-Arms

Man At Arms is braced in a wide stance with the gold mace lifted overhead, the arm bent as if he’s about to bring it down with force. The figure features green bodysuit sections broken up by bronze and gold armor plates across the chest, shoulders, forearms, and shins, with layered tech detailing and panel lines giving the armor a heavy, functional look. I’m really digging the blue helmet with integrated ear pieces and the mustached head sculpt, especially paired with the utility belt and holster that make him look ready for whatever’s coming next.

Tri-Klops

Tri Klops is locked into a firing stance with both hands bracing the long rifle across his chest, the barrel angled slightly upward as if he’s lining up a distant target. The figure features layered green armor with brown sleeves, textured black torso sections, and a wide bronze belt with a segmented armored skirt hanging down the front, while thick black boots ground the pose. I really like how the visor with the single red eye sits over the helmet and can’t wait to see how they design the other two eyes and how the tubing around the neck adds to the heavy tech feel as he steadies the weapon and holds his position.
