Powers of Grayskull Giants Tytus & Megator MOTU Origins Fan Survey

By the Power of Grayskull! We here at ToyHabits love putting the power in the hands of the fans, and today we’re doing exactly that with a brand new fan survey focused on two of the most massive and iconic figures in Masters of the Universe history. With the recent teases of both Tytus and Megator on the Snake Lair MOTU Origins Packaging Art, this is the perfect time to ask the question! We’re talking about the Powers of Grayskull giants Tytus and Megator, and whether Mattel should bring these towering warriors into the MOTU Origins line. These two have a really cool history in the franchise, originally released as part of the vintage Powers of Grayskull sub-line and later getting an amazing revival in the MOTU Classics line where they absolutely dominated shelf space. Now the question is, should they make the jump to Origins, and if so, how should they look? One of the things I always loved about Tytus and Megator is just how different they felt from every other figure on the shelf. Their sheer scale made them super exciting to collect, and the idea of seeing them reimagined in that classic Origins style has me buzzing. But there’s a fun debate to be had here too. The vintage figures featured rooted hair, giving them a unique tactile quality, while the Classics versions went with sculpted hair for a more polished, detailed look. Both approaches have their charm, and we want to know which direction you’d prefer! This is your chance to let your voice be heard and help inform Mattel on what the fans actually want. So let’s take a look at our Powers of Grayskull Giants Tytus and Megator MOTU Origins Fan Survey!

The MOTU Giants

Here’s a closer look at the vintage Italian print ad featuring Tytus and Megator, and it’s a fantastic piece of promotional art from the era. The two-page spread frames them in a comic book style with Italian dialogue bubbles, pitting the heroic Tytus with his silver armor and massive bronze skull trap accessory against the green-skinned Megator swinging his chained mace, both towering over a tiny figure near their feet that really sells just how massive these giants were meant to be.

Sporting his sky-blue armor harness and matching wrist gauntlets, Tytus towers over the scene alongside Megator, whose olive-green skin and brown loincloth create a stark contrast against the orange backdrop of this vintage catalog page. The lower inset photos show both figures in action with smaller warriors, and I like how the middle shot captures what appears to be a spring-loaded kicking feature on Megator, his leg extending outward toward a smaller opponent.

As recently teased on the new Snake Lair MOTU Origins Packaging Art, we saw both Tytus and Megator teased onto the artwork. Mattel is no stranger to figures/ dolls of this size, they have teases the Giants Tytus and Megtor for sometime now. If they make these, will they have their classic rooted hair? Mattel is no stranger to rooted hair as they are the experts with their Barbie line! Also in the vintage She-Ra figures, so if we do ever get these giants, will they have rooted hair? Would you like to see the giants in the MOTU Origins line? Below we can see the blury but obvious image of both Tytus and Megator from the Snake Lair box art!

Tytus

Tytus, one of the last produced characters of the Vintage Masters of the Universe Line, and one of two giants, is prominently featured on the front of the card back art whelding his giant hammer! The packaging for Tytus features a castle stone window design that frames the figure beautifully, with artwork in the lower corner depicting him in battle alongside a smaller warrior. I like how the box art illustration captures his silver armor and flowing hair in a more stylized, action-oriented way compared to the actual figure inside.

Armed with his massive bronze Body Snatcher weapon, Tytus cuts an imposing profile with his riveted silver armor harness featuring a crosshatch texture across the chest plates and a gold emblem at the center. His rooted brown hair flows past his shoulders and frames a stern face with blue eyes, a silver headband with a cross-shaped centerpiece, and what looks like a small red marking near his forehead. The vintage Tytus action figure can be see below, and was only released in Italy and Spain.

The original box art for the Tytus shows him battling against King Hiss along with He-Ro. It also describes his role in the world of Preternia. How cool would it be to get a Tytus in the Origins line with rooted hair!

We first saw him teased on Camo Khan’s card back art, so could Mattel be planning to release their two Powers of Grayskull giants? That’s been several years, so perhaps Mattel needs the fans to make their voices heard! You can see how the Camo Khan card art continues into this section, with a Turbodactyl swooping through that purple-tinged sky, its leathery wings spread wide and taloned feet extended toward the battlefield below. Several warriors are scattered across the rocky terrain in mid-combat with Snake Men, and the whole scene has that layered, chaotic energy where every corner rewards a second look.

You can see how the vintage artwork really emphasizes the sheer scale difference between Tytus and the smaller warriors at his feet, with his sky-blue armor harness and flowing blonde hair capturing that classic heroic giant aesthetic. The Body Snatcher weapon looks particularly impressive in illustrated form, its copper-toned barrel and clamping mechanism dwarfing the green-armored figure caught in its grip.

As seen in the MOTU Classics line, Tytus was produced with sculpted hair. Outfitted with silver shin guards featuring those same triangular blue emblems found on his chest harness, Tytus has a consistent design language running through his armor that ties the whole look together. The Body Snatcher’s bronze dome and claw mechanism are substantial pieces, connected by a silver chain loop, and the fur loincloth has a nice shaggy sculpt with individual tufts that contrast well against the smooth metallic armor elements.

Megator

Megator, evil Giant Destroyer was one of the last vintage Masters of the Universe characters to be released in 1988. One of two giants, Megator and Titus, the two rarest of the MOTU vintage figures, was released only in Europe, primarily in Italy. Originally designed to be part of the spin off “Powers of Grayskull” line, Megator and Titus were still released with the Masters of the Universe logos on their packaging. The box for Megator uses that same castle stone window design as Tytus’s packaging, but the artwork in the lower right corner depicts him in a much more menacing pose, swinging a chained mace while towering over crumbling fortress walls. I like how the color palette on the box art leans into fiery oranges and purples around the border, contrasting with the cool stone blues of the window frame.

Megator, the green giant evil warrior stands 15″ tall and came with real rooted hair. He included a spring-loaded right leg for a kicking action feature, and he came with a spiked ball and chain. Megator’s red chest armor has a wonderfully aggressive sculpt, with layered plates that have a weathered, almost reptilian texture and a grotesque face or skull motif molded right into the center. The chained mace features a silver metal chain attached to a gray spiked ball, and you can see how his rooted black hair has that wild, unruly quality that gives the vintage figure so much of its character compared to what a sculpted hair version might offer.

This piece of box art really captures Megator at his most ferocious, with his wild black hair whipping behind him and those pointed ears and fanged snarl adding a monstrous edge to his face. The chained mace swings wide as fortress walls crumble beneath him, and a tiny warrior near the base of the tower provides that perfect sense of enormous scale.

The MOTU Classics Megator can be seen below with sculpted hair. Megator’s belt buckle features a fan-shaped gold and red ornamental design that sits just above a ragged, feathered loincloth sculpted in dark gray with layered, uneven edges. His wrist cuffs are a burnt orange that matches the chest armor’s color palette, and the olive-green skin tone carries a subtle tonal variation across different sections of the body.

Megator was illustrated on both the card backs for Lord Gr’asp and Camo Khan’s card art. You can see how the Lord Gr’asp card art continues into this section, with a Turbodactyl swooping through that purple-tinged sky with Strobo riding on him, its leathery wings spread wide and taloned feet extended toward the battlefield below. Several warriors are scattered across the rocky terrain in mid-combat with Snake Men, and the whole scene has that layered, chaotic energy where every corner rewards a second look.

You can see Megator prominently featured on the front of the Camo Khan card back art spinning his giant spiked mace! Megator looms large in the illustrated scene, his green skin and red chest emblem dominating the composition against a crimson sky streaked with lightning. Several smaller warriors clash at his feet near what appears to be a dark fortress tower in the distance, and the whole piece has that dense, hand-painted quality that made vintage card backs so fun to pore over.
