MOTU Origins Wave 14 Deep Discount Figures Decoded

We’ve decoded the MOTU Origins Wave 14 figure assortment on the Deep Discount website!

We are just closing the loop the Deep Discount MOTU Origins leaks that we reported on waaaaaaaay back in February 2023. At the time, we were speculating that the unknown figures, dubbed 13 through 16, comprised of the rumored Wave 14 assortment of Serpent Claw Man-At-Arm, the Snake Men Infiltrator, Spikor, and Sssqueeze. Deep Discount has since updated their listings to include the product codes and turns out, the @ToySorceress was dead on with her prediction! The following MOTU Origins Wave 14 figures match up with the product codes now listed on the Deep Discount website!

MOTU Origins Figure 13: Serpent Claw Man-At-Arms

The product code that matches up with Serpent Claw Man-At-Arm is HKM76.

Serpent Claw Man At Arms is a very cool figure reveal and one that we predicted was coming to the Origins line! He reuses most of the Man At Arms parts, but incorporates the Lords of Power version for his chest armor in a silver color. And he now also has an incredible new serpent claw! This new serpent claw takes up the lower portion of his right arm, and has a lot of cool mechanical details on it, and then ends in a bright green colored claw end.

MOTU Origins Figure 14: Snake Men Infiltrator

The product code that matches up with the Snake Men Infiltrator is is HKM77.

The Eternian Guard Infiltrator is renamed the Snake Men Infiltrator and his subheading reads “Slithering Spy in Disguise.” This figure is basically a reuse of the Eternian Royal guard with a snake face under the helmet. He includes the halberd and a silver colored snake staff.

MOTU Origins Figure 15: Sssqueeze

The product code that matches up with the Sssqueeze is is HKM78.

We’ve know about Sssqueeze coming to the line for some time now. Let’s take a look at some of the official images below. This version of Sssqueeze looks just like the vintage figure, but has a darker green color. He looks so incredible and I love how they did his arms and pet snake. He has huge bendy arms that can wrap around his enemies! I believe his real color is brighter than this and it’s just the lighting.

MOTU Origins Figure 16: Spikor

The product code that matches up with the Snake Men Infiltrator is is HKM79.

Spikor is exactly as to be expected in terms of a recreation of the vintage figure. He includes his left hand trident that looks like it extends out of his arm, and his spiked club mace. It looks like his spikes are part of his torso rather than a chest armor sitting over his torso, so that is a very nice detail true to the vintage figure! I think they did a great job on recreating the original.

Where to Buy

We will continue to update our Masters of the Universe Shop page with the updates as to where you can find the Wave 14 assortment so please check back often!

Possible Single Carded Releases Based on Leaked and Rumored Figures

Since we already have rumors of Spikor, Sssqueeze, Eternian Guard Infiltator and Serpent Claw Man-At-Arms coming to the Masters of the Universe Origins line, we can imagine what those 4 figures could take the slots for the 4 single carded figures. Let’s take a look at the leaked and rumored figures that could possibly take the 4 slots.

Possible Single Carded Figure #1: Spikor

Spikor is one of the most anticipated MOTU Origins figures! One of the last holdouts of Skeletor’s henchmen, Spikor’s head and torso are completely covered in razor-sharp spikes. It was not clear whether the spikes are a natural part of his body or some kind of special armor, until the bio for his 2012 figure confirmed it is an armor magically fused to his body. In place of his left hand is a trident, which can extend and, in some media, fires a laser beam. Spikor was introduced into the Masters of the Universe toy line in 1985. His action figure’s feature is his spring-action waist, which propelled his trident to shoot out of its socket when his torso sprang back.

Spikor appeared, alongside Two-Bad, in a fantastic fight scene on the card art of Terror Claws Skeletor.

Stronox Customs just recently created a custom MOTU Origins Spikor and this looks like a kit bash of the Classics buck and a MOTU Origins buck. His work is amazing and you can see what an Origins concept would look like for this figure!

The details that Stronox puts in his customs is second to none and it’s very cool to see a mash up of a Classics and an Origins buck. The varying purple paint apps of light and dark purple mixed with black give the figure a very interesting, fluid look!

Possible Single Carded Figure #2: Sssqueeze

Sssqueeze has got to be the most unusual of the Snake Men, with his large snake like wrapping arms! Released by Mattel in 1987, Sssqueeze with bright lime green skin color and large wrapping arms was a blast for kids to play with! His arms were made of a flexbile rubber with a wire wrapping around inside that allowed you to pose him in fun squeezing positions. Watch out He-Man or your gonna get the SSSQUEEZE!! Just like the other Snake Men, this figure too was a totally new sculpt. Squeeze did include the spring-loaded waste and was wearing purple chest armor with the green Snake Men logo. He came with an extra-long purple snake pet. This is one character I currently don’t own in my personal collection, but now after researching him, I am going to have to pick one up!

As we covered in our More Snake Men coming to Origins in 2023 article, our friends at CANAL DOS ROSMINEIROS revealed that additional Snake Men were coming to Origins in 2023 which included King Hiss, Snake Face and Sssqueeze. Well we already say Kiss Hiss revealed at this year’s SDCC. And now we get teases of Sssqueeze on the Camo Khan Package.

According to the Wiki Grayskull:

Sssqueeze is a character in the Masters of the Universe franchise, He is a member of the Snake Men, who has the power to elongate his arms.

Sssqueeze first appears in the minicomic “Revenge of the Snake Men!“, where King Hiss summons him and Snake Face from the dimension where the Snake Men are trapped. He gets little character development, with Snake Face‘s powers being the main focus of the comic. Sssqueeze also appears in the minicomic “Energy Zoids“, where Rotar takes his long arm and uses him as a living mace. Sssqueeze also appears in the Marvel Comics series, first in issue #8, where he is depicted as a member of the Evil Horde, and later he makes a cameo in issue #12 as a member of the recently arrested Snake Men.

Possible Single Carded Figure #3: Eternian Guard Infiltrator

We believe that the Eternian Guard Infiltator will be similar to the Masters of the Universe Classics version that uses the snake head! This would be very easy for Mattel to make as they have already designed the Eternian Palace Guard in the Origins line.

To make an Eternian Guard Infiltrator figure, you will notice right off the bat is the Palace Guard reuses a bunch of parts from Man-At-Arms. For example, Man-at-Arms (MAA) gave us the green buck plus armor pieces on the left arm and left leg and with the Eternian Palace guard, we get new pieces for the right arm and right leg that are mirrored from the left. The belt has a nice red accent in the middle, which helps differentiate from the original MAA release.

The armor pieces on the left and right arms are separated to facilitate the bending of the elbows and the articulation. One issue with the armor on the arms is that it is very loose and easy to knock off, which was the same issue that Man at Arms suffered from. The forearm prices are more susceptible to falling down when posing so be careful. The bird emblem is raised and sculpted and reminiscent of the MOTU Classics Palace Guards set. It’s a brand new armor piece and it’s great to have this armor in the vintage Origins style. The head has a face-shield covering the face to make the figure a non description look so you can army build. It will be interesting to see if they include this aspect if they do a standard release of the Eternian Guard Infiltrator figure.

Possible Single Carded Figure #4: Serpent Claw Man-At-Arms

The 200x line was known for some pretty cool sculpts and concepts and Serpent Claw Man-At-Arms would be a great addition to the Snake Men line. We would love to see his oversized armor and his claw attachment as a weapon! This figure would be another easy one to make and would require some extra armor and his accessory.

The unique detailing on the armor would be another cool feature! With his mace that doubles as a grappling claw, this figure is bordering on a deluxe for Origins (but don’t tell Mattel!!!)
