Every Unique MOTU Origins Variant Figure Mattel Doesn't Talk About!

For those that want to truly be a Motu Origins completionist, this video is for you! I never truly realized just how many different unique variants there were in the Masters Of The Universe Origins line until a good friend to the channel Joe Andrews took me down the rabbit hole and what I found out was shocking! This is the stuff Mattel doesnt advertise when selling these figures and some of these variants are worth having simply because there better then the original release. In this video I'll go over all the variants in the line so far and show you exactly what makes them different. After seeing this, it might make you want to go that extra mile to truly have a complete Origins collection.

Wow. It's crazy that there are so many variations out there. This video is very useful not only for real collectors but also for ordinary people like me because it shows which variations of the characters I should avoid buying. For example I hate those fat knees and my white sorceress has thin knees, so I have to find other women with new knees. I don't like that Rattlor with the smooth neck, I prefer the other more detailed one. Battle Armor He-Man I have the more metallic one, but I like the other feet with the colored straps. Big mess, but at least now I know.

[@RendersFX.]

The most comprehensive in collection share and overview of what is out there in the crazy distribution changes of MOTU Origins! Best vid out there covering this stuff

[@TALON80s]

Excellent video! I know of one more to add to your list, don't know if you will count it but there is 2 versions of prince adam with the sky sled, one has a fat handle sword, one has a skinny handle sword. I've seen them next to each other in toys r us and it's noticeable. Thanks for the great video 👍🏻

[@Twin2Jr]

Good call!! Adam had three different swords. Keldor from Rise of Evil had the same issue, but 2 I know of for Keldor.

[@franciscorodriguez3582]

I'm still trying to collect the vintage variants, now I have to collect the origins too, WAY TO GO MR.HOME ARCADE, lol .I can't wait to see them in your stop motion videos

[@northstar5]

Wow. This is crazy! I'm not too stressed about the minor variants, but that light skin Clamp Champ is going to haunt my dreams! 😆

[@juanfelixsoto]

The Hordak heads are like a progression on his face as a drug was kicking in in his blood system...LOL

[@enyawd1977]

Awesome Mr. Home Arcade! But you are missing one! The first single carded version of Snake Armor He-Man has two different hair colors! Dark orange yellow or light mustard yellow!

[@moondark1031]

You didn't mention the Trap Jaw mechanical shoulder variant where the original release only rotates but the newer releases can raise the arm to the side. That's hard to spot in package, but you can tell. Thanks for showing all the rest, I didn't know about many before.

[@SnotlipsTM]

Some guy on FB marketplace once showed me the Clamp Champ variant mint on card, said he found it in store very early in the release. He also had a Double Carded Ninjor, which was a manufacturing error. I personally only have the Battle Armor He-man with the straps variant. There's also variant of the Evil Lyn with narrow knees and maybe also Teela that you might want to get? Also I seen images of the white Sorceress carded.

[@mattwrlh1905]

Yes, definitely there were two versions of the yellow Evil-Lyn released in Origins.

[@rudysettimi4372]

Mr. Home Arcade I collect the line also I had no idea they were pulling this shit! The differences are so subtle! Thanks for pointing this out!

[@ThomasRay-dq2ru]

One of each, not the variants, is good enough for me Mr Home Arcade...I'm so late to the table it's expensive to complete a straight run but I'm almost complete and only been collecting since January...I got Camo Khan and Samurai over the weekend. £100 each...god damn, but I love it! Cheers, Tom here in the UK (previously The Defiant). Thanks for all your inspiration!

[@user-fm2zv5kk4g]

The best video anyone’s made in a long time. I love all these variance. I tried to get me that clamp champ and ordered four clamp champs from Canada, but sadly all of them were regular.sad😢 Congratulations on the outstanding collection❤

[@rupturefarms21]

Don't forget the different heman heads on wave 1 variants as well as different size sword handle prince Adams. And different knee evil lyns and teelas

[@coolslc]

We appreciate your time for these videos brotha! Variants are awesome, been part of many Toy lines for decades, I collect TMNT as well and even their recent reissues have variants 👀👍🏽

[@dubuyajay9964]

Ty for the Ram Man info.

Great collection, you missed the Snake Armor He-Man with Cartoon head.

[@Darth77]

Thanks buddy for this video, now I gotta hunt down each one lol I did get the light skin clamp champ carded from a fellow collector on Facebook and wasn't cheap but was worth it so I know he's the gem in the origins line. Card is beat up like you stated but will eventually open him for sure

[@juanfelixsoto]

My guess for these variations is very simple: to make enough figures in a limited time you need to have more than one mold, second you may have two different factories working on the same item. I'm an older collector, and I collet figures from the 1970's. In those days what a company like Mattel will do is give the license to different companies from different countries. They will get copies of the molds, and make the toys. Some times because of the country, toys will have different names. Case in Point: G.I Joe. In England and must of Europe he was called Action Man. In Japan was called Super Joe. You yourself know what happened with Masters of the Universe in the 1980's, where you had variants on colors for the characters or they made new characters like "Fuerza T."

[@RTsunami23]

Best completionist video & collection. Amazing

[@anthonium.]

There can be an encyclopedia regarding all this and MOTU toys in general. Insane!

[@ytrefugee113]

This is some wild shit! I knew there were a few variants, but had no idea it was this many! You definitely got the most complete collection ive seen! 👍

[@mainelyretro]

Damn that’s a lot of variants. Nice work on getting the 3 Duplicos. I wish Walmart didn’t suck so bad with their exclusive MOTU figures. Maybe I need to get a job there and hord that shit. Great video as always.

[@michaelburt4518]

Great video as always. Soo entertaining. Also if you look close at all the reflective stickers on the She-Ra figures, the speckles are different as well.

[@RJackson300]

I'm glad someone is paying attention to this shit! I had to get my ass back out there and hunt. Found 3 of the variants today! Right on!

[@Takeshi357]

Wow, I forgot about the light skinned Clamp Champ. And I had no idea they did the different faces on standard Hordak, too!

[@MVX1M1L1VN]

Υες mε τοο... Τηε 3rδ vεrςιοn ις πεrφεκτ

The Fan Favorite She-Ra has different stickers too, more sparkles

[@kenzos_creations]

Great video my friend! Detail on all of these are crazy! Great break down 💪💪

[@lexalator4462]

It's great to know about all the variants. I'll have to keep my eyes 👀 open for them. Thank you.

[@373commanderEd]

I have the Blonde eye brows Duplico. Still only seeing Jitsu and Buzzoff in my area

[@carloscaceres9533]

Awesome video, I wonder if Mattel does this on purpose. It has to be maddening for completist.

[@Twin2Jr]

You missed some: Teela: bad/good knees Evil-Lyn: bad/good knees 200X Evil-Lyn: bad/good knees She-Ra DOES have old eyes/new knees. Saw her in English card at Power Con but part swap what you already have: same thing really. 200X He-Man: school bus yellow hair and blonde hair There is a potential packaging variant on a new release my brother caught that he is investigating. I also have 2 versions of Rokkon.

[@MegaUnclejohnny]

Man....three Duplicos and I couldn't find a single one in Canada. You lucky bastard.

[@reverendamagon]

Thank you, Sir! I'm happy with the 2 ToG Ram-Mans. I like the 2nd one as well.

[@bluraycaper]

There is 2 versions of Buzz Saw Hordak too, small red and larger red

[@Priple49]

Great video! I had no idea about these. 👍🏼

[@anthonystogner7580]

Excellent variant details, some folks in Chine where getting lazy with the paint app's

[@joeycuriel]

Man this is great. Hordak needs an intervention. 😂

[@emptycanvas79]

Had to go through all my figures today, to update my chase list:)👍

[@turnstyle518]

Very cool! Thanks for sharing!!

[@Teriyaki_Emu]

G'day Mr Home Arcade.. Awesome video, But there are 3 more variations you need to add to your list Original Teela old knee, new knees. Yellow Evil-Lyn and 200x grey Evil-Lyn both have old knees and new knees variations. Cheers

[@franciscorodriguez3582]

Yes you're right I have the Evil Lyn and Teela

[@MrHomeArcade]

In the beginning of the video I said I wasn't counting those, which was why I only showed the old n new knees while sorceress. Everyone knows about those changes in the knees and I do have them. This list was for variants that take it a step farther then just the knees being different

[@tomlorenz468]

Thank you for your passion and work!

[@JKBRS]

Nice Work collecting every variant. I found a difference in the heart of mini comic roboto. On a later release it hast a round shape in top.❤

[@actionfigures]

Really well done, great detail.

[@frankierivera5451]

I know I have the new knees on the grayskull Sorceress I have to check the rest of my doubles and triples dope video my brotha💪

[@Oli-Versus]

Mattel sent me the ram man that’s translucent

[@miz3k]

The wings on my Castle Greyskull Sorceress turned yellow. My room is always cool and my windows are blacked out so I'm a little confused as to why. I'm envious of the pristine wings on the two you showed off.

[@pac_entretenimento]

Cool video! Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷

[@citadelli]

I would say you’re a die hard for Origins if there ever was one!

[@itsupport3559]

Your missing also the HeMan 200x yellow hair and orange hair same package different hair color.

[@williamwright9079]

Nice hunting, my friend!

[@ioannespaulusify]

there’s also Evil Lyn with the two different types of knees

[@MarkERoth]

I think there was a figure not 200x he man or snake armor he man that had some units shipped with that head. I wish I could remember which figure it was

[@allmusicfan88]

And He-Man is still drinking! 😂🤣

[@itsupport3559]

Your missing the same issues of Hordak but in the Buzz Saw Hordak have 2 different eyes

[@anthonybernero9720]

Oh there's more. 200X He-man has a hair color variant. One is very yellow, the other is almost brown. And good luck finding a Slaker without a cracked jaw. 😆

[@PixelzNcreatureZ]

I'm glad my RamMan is translucent.. I don't wanna look for a purple milk one

[@scockery]

I like how you used your natural voice for the nerd strawman. LOL. I kid, I kid. I didn't know about most of these. I was wondering why seeing Turtles of Grayskull Ram-Man for the first time last week at Walmart, he was more translucent than what I saw online.

[@Luchablay]

I am, in fact, seein this shit.

[@MrHomeArcade]

Lololol 😆 🤣 😂 I'm glad you are brotha 😂

[@scottmorse8039]

Which Rattlor is harder to find???

[@carloscunningham319]

Plus the Dupico's all three hair lines and hair are kinda different

[@kaylemathewcomendador6964]

Neat finds you’ve got here. Although do the standard He-Man & Skeletor’s with different heads count? The first wave of He-Man & Skeletor had heads that were kinda controversial. He-Man had a head most didn’t like, while Skeletor had an open mouth. Later releases gave them more vintage looking heads & replaced their half combining swords with full swords. Do those count too?

[@iliasfog8857]

You forgot: Teela (not only the zoar version) and Evil-lyn (both: regular and 200x) with old and new knees.

[@MrHomeArcade]

No I didn't. I said in near the beginning when I showed the white sorceress with the new n old knees that all the ladies had them. I just didn't show it

[@iliasfog8857]

@@MrHomeArcade Wrestling-English is sometimes hard to understand especially when your not a native speaker. Question: Hordak (I thought there were only 2 variations (i have version red eyes) on standard card and the corrected one is the buzz saw hordak deluxe card. Are you sure that there is a corrected paint hordak on standart card? (US/Int)

[@MrHomeArcade]

@iliasfog8857 a friend of mine that got it on card, sent it to me. I was shocked too. There's a Slamurai with loin cloth of 200x king randor on card that I plan to buy next week which was a mistake from the factory. I believe it was a situation like that with that Hordak

[@iliasfog8857]

@@MrHomeArcade This is not line completion, this is a guinness book record what you are trying to accomplish. :o) I for myself buy variations if they are an upgrade thats why i like Fan Favourite/Re-Issues figures most. Slamurai (got mine last week finally cheap =34 on int card) is of course interesting to get a variation too. Question: I believe that my Vintage Head Skeletor (on international card) has a much darker purple than i see from other collectors which have that figure also. I have bought him very late. Do you confirm that? (The lighter Clamp Champ would had sold out the darker one - in my country 100x times)

[@MrHomeArcade]

@iliasfog8857 I haven't heard anything about the darker head skeletor on that buck but I'll definitely look into it . Sounds interesting 🤔

[@wasabi-in-my-eye3134]

Time to start regretting not picking up those variants you knew you spotted it hanging on the peg. Lol

[@carlossandez6672]

Battle armor skeletor also has a variant one is shiny in the purple bits in the amor the other one doesn't have it, I have the shinier version

I have the stoned hordak 😅😅😂

[@AlexandertheSmith]

for hard core collectors variants are like pokemon! gotta catch 'em all!! 69th like, by the way. nice!🤣

[@gamerbudd9431]

While I really like translucent figures im not a fan of seeing the inner workings of the figure through the plastic. To me it makes it look more like a toy and not a figure (if that makes sense) If im taking a photo of a figure fighting another figure and I see the inner frame working of a non robotic figure its...weird to me. (then again I just might be weird, hehe) For me the smokey translucent like plastic is perfect, or like Masterverse Revelation Scareglow, you didnt notice the translucent unless you put a light behind him.

[@bluraycaper]

Why do I feel like watching this video is going to end up costing me money 🤣

[@Sladeonslade]

Are you doing the nerd voice? If so, that's F'ing awesome.

[@northstar5]

MHA is one of our generation's finest actors!

[@bronykingamethystrain5676]

Don't really care much for variation like this. Although I did find a paint defect on a Battle Armor Skeletor I used to make my Battle Armor Faker when I was at Ollie's. The battle armor was missing paint apps.

[@ronimusprime6798]

Could this be because the English American version and the European version are different due to safety or enviromental rules?

[@MrHomeArcade]

I found all these on US cards

[@ronimusprime6798]

Strange indeed🤔. I got a Pig Head mint on card that doesn't have his armour and one that does and both came from BBTS at the same time.
