7/20/2022 Update: Walmart Preorder
YES! You read that right! The MOTU Origins Roton is now up for preorder on Walmart.com:
7/9/2022: UPDATE: The MOTU Origins Roton has started showing up at Walmart stores and we found the listing for you! We also found the UPC bar code below that you can use to scan into your Walmart app. We want to give a great big thank you to the Baroness of Toys for the heads up!
One lucky Eurpoean collector Sven Janssens, got their hands on a new Masters of the Universe Origins Roton and were kind enough to post images online! So now we can bring you actual MOTU Origins Roton IN HAND Images!! He got it off Amazon Germany and says that the pre-orders have popped up here and there and he didn’t expect to receive it until October, but bam here it is! I want to give another huge shout out and thank you to Chad Trips for alerting Toy Habits of the images! The Roton has yet to come up for pre-order in the United States, but as soon as we track down the any pre-order links, we will be sure to let you know.
We are finally getting a Roton and we couldn’t be more excited!! We predicted this one as we cover in our Vehicles and Playsets teaser article. If you haven’t checked it out, I highly recommend the article, as it was a blast to write and a very fun read! We chronical in great detail all the vehicle and playsets Mattel has teased thru their artwork thus far. If you want to read that, click HERE! In classic Origins Style, this new Version of the Roton harkens right back to the vintage 1984 version, with the same monstrous red eyes, red laser cannons and red turning sawblade!
UPDATE:
We here at Toy Habits are always on the case! We have uncovered the hidden Amazon Listing for the Roton! It shows as “Currently Unavailable”, but this is common on Amazon until pre-orders open up. But be sure to save this link! As soon pre-orders open, we will be sure to let you know!
Roton In Hand Images
In classic Mattel fashion, they have upgraded the new Origins Roton significantly to be a more deluxe version, similar to the MOTU Classics Roton BUT actually, it shares more in common with the Roton from the Monogram Snap Tite model kit series! But we will cover that in more detail below. You can see that this version of the Roton includes a top cage and red monstrous face mask that snaps onto the front so that you can change how your Roton displays or even create a Roton fly assault vehicle army and have the various vehicles each look slightly different!
As you can see from the images below, the new Origins Roton fits perfectly on the Wind Raider stand. Mattel had the fore thought to add the large peg hole to the bottom of the Roton so that in fits into a flight stand. But too bad they didn’t include a separate stand for it, but I guess they can share!
The top cage is sized perfectly so that you can still sit Skelly inside comfortably with plenty of head room! But it looks like He-Man is trying to get into the act! With the red slaw blades that wrap around the Roton, it makes for a perfect place for He-Man to stand while he attacks Skeletor!
