Roy Juarez has released the last card art in the MOTU Origins Wave 14 assortment with Spikor and it teases Rokkon and Extendar! This is the first time Rokkon has been teased for the Origins line and it makes 3 for Extendar!
Spikor Card Art
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 likehis 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.
Spikor comes on the MOTU Origins Rise of the Snake packaging and we know some collectors will be disappointed with this but alas, here we are!
This amazing scene features Spikor tangling with none other than Rokkon and Extendar!
As Roy states, “IT’S PACKAGING TIME! @masters of the Universe Origins Wave 14: Spikor, the untouchable master of evil combat! Covered head-to-toe in spikes, the evil blacksmith Spikor crafts much of Skeletor’s nefarious arsenal.

Extendar Tease
We first saw Extendar on Kobra Khan’s card back art and then on the card art for Snake Face as he was turned to stone! This is the 3rd time we are seeing Extendar teased! With three appearances, it is more likely we see Extendar coming to the line soon and we can’t wait!

Extendar
Extendar was also a very unique figure and looked nothing like previous figures that were released in the line. Taking on more of a knight appearance, this figure came out very late in the line and was not featured in the cartoon but he does have a mini comic backstoryAccording to the Wiki Grayskull:
Occasionally referred to in comics as the ‘Tower of Power’, Extendar was introduced into the Masters of the Universe toy line in 1986, at a stage when the toy line was breaking away from its roots in pure fantasy, and introducing more robotic and mechanical characters. Given that the accompanying cartoon series had been cancelled by the time his toy reached the market, he never appears in animated form. However, he features prominently in various comics and storybooks, and is introduced in the Mattel mini-comic “The Warrior Machine”. This comic showcases him as a friend of Prince Adam who is an ordinary knight, but yearns for special powers of his own after witnessing the skills of the Horde warrior Dragstor. Hordak subsequently grants his wish and subjects him to scientific experiments which turn him into a mechanical cyborg warrior with the power of extension. Invincible at full height, he is set upon He-Man, but manages to throw off Hordak’s curse and join the Heroic Warriors. Subsequent mini-comics portray him as one of the most powerful members of his ranks.
Extendar
Extendar’s gimmick was pretty cool! He could grow larger by pulling on his neck, arms, and legs.
Rokkon Tease
This is the first time that Rokkon has been teased on card art, which is very exciting! Rokkon is a youth of the Rock People, and the frequent companion of his mentor Stonedar. The character appeared late in the 1980s Masters of the Universe toy line, and as such appears in relatively few stories, with little consistency.
