Not Really, MOTU is SUPER popular right now and has been since the Origins had been released a few years ago. Matt I understand that your state must have received SO MUCH product but if you're part of any MOTU facebook groups or MOTU dedicated channels you will probably hear numerous stories of states / Cities which received nearly nothing in terms of stock on hand. Up here in Canada during the Walmart Exclusive Year for waves 1 - 4 we would be lucky if we received even 1 or 2 sets per Walmart. This led to collectors of the line having to travel to multiple cities to try and complete the line. The Walmart Exclusive REALLY KILLED it for so many of the collectors here. I know of so many collectors who have GAPS in their collection and are super worried that the ONLY way they can complete their sets is to head to eBay :( Thanks for the awesome Video! Love the channel Matt! I hope you and the family are doing better since the flood. Take Care and Stay Stafe! -Geek Proud!
The thing about these is the price fluctuates so much. Value goes up way more than it goes down, though. No matter how rare or how common these are to find in the store, I believe almost all of them will have incredible value a few years from now. Definitely not a bad idea to buy an extra one of each and put them in storage or an attic for awhile and let them gain value. I know I'm doing that. I have an entire set put away so far, and plan on having all of them when the line ends.
I think this depends on your region. I'm from Germany and here all those you mentioned are still in stores for around 20€/$. Only exeption is Ninjor. He was only in store for about one week and sells at 120€/$ here (and is the only one missing so far in my collection). Not to mention the PowerCon Exclusives, which we germans had no way of getting them retail. They cost about 110€/$ each figure, Copycat goes for 300€/$ and the Horde Pack for 500€/$. And we get most figures over 6 month later than the US. Some we never got (like Mini Comic Stratos). The last we got was wave 8, with Clawfull still missing. He should come with wave 9 at the end of the year...IF we are lucky....
I’m from Germany too, and most of this figures are way above even the price you mention, so I have no idea where you get your numbers. Like Trap jaw, I haven’t even seen it available for some time.
Mattel only intended Stratos to be evil after Don Glut had switched Mer-Man over to the heroic side in his prototype story "The Fighting Foe -Men". Stratos was switched to the evil side during "The Lords of Power" phase of development. *Stratos was originally intended to be a good guy, as confirmed by Mark Taylor.* Also, Zodak, originally called "Sensor" by Mark Taylor, was intended to be a good guy also, but was switched to the evil team by Mattel for reasons of team balance, after the original Sorceress and Teela figures were combined into just one figure, and Stratos was switched back to the good side, after the first mini-comic had already been drawn. Mer-Man was switched back to the evil side after Lords of Power, so he was evil in the first mini-comic. *It's very complex.*
Liked how the video was compiled and edited! Interesting list - I would say anything from Waves 1 - 3 aside from Origins He-Man & Skelly are hard to find now but it's really territory dependent. I've done numerous store hunt videos from Malaysia where Wave 4 figures like Ninjor & Tri-Klops were clogging the shelves for months. Keep up the great work, I enjoy the content here :)
You're obviously trolling. These were not falling off the pegs except wave 1 and wave 7. Wave 2 never made it to stores around here. Nor did wave 3 or 4. 5 was spotty. Same as 6. Never seen wave 8 ever. Nor are we seeing wave 9.
Webstor and Beastman are another two figures that increased their price, but the list is pretty accurate, I'm still trying to get Trapjaw for a decent price.
I love learning more about new lines I don't collect. i did however buy a Skeletor in this line for my gf because for a while her nickname was Skeletor. DON'T ASK
@@perfectzell3489 if my gf laughed like skeletor and it was cute I'd make her laugh all the time, if it was scary I'm not sure I would try to make her laugh very often. But either way, that's pretty cool man
Do you think any of the wave 3 figures will go down in price once the wave is rereleased in October? I kind of hope they do it for wave 4 too because its impossible to find at a decent price.
I’ve kept up with each origins wave. I never saw tri-klops and roboto in the store ever, but luckily my neighbor did, and got them for me. Everyone else, I was surprisingly able to find in store. Of course it consisted of stalking the store like crazy, but it pays off.
Mer man, she-ra, roboto and zodac are all getting another release on BBTS at the normal price of $18.99 each. so, those higher prices brought to you by scalpers will either go down or they may jack them up more.
Another great video Matt! I would say the ranking stands. But the prices are reflective of a buyers market right now in the summertime. Come fall/winter these prices are going to skyrocket as they were last winter. Guys, you snooze you lose. Time to pay the late tax 😂
I like how you said the over-the-top production peg warmers that were just spilling out of end caps that is entirely wrong because Ohio did not get barely any Masters of the universe wave 2 nope Wave 3 nope Wave 4 nope I was lucky to have gotten tila evil lyn and man at arms from wave 1
About a year ago. I found a single Man-E-Faces and a single Trap-Jaw together at a Wal-Mart amongst a sea of He-Man and Skeletor pegwarmers. About a month later, a found a single Orko at the same store. The card was beat to shit but the figure was still perfect inside. I think I have about 25 Origins figures and even though it has been a pain in the Eternian ass collecting this line. It pleases me to know that I own all of these figures on this list, all found at either Wal-Mart or Target, with the exception of Ninjor and Tri-Klops. Me, I still really, really want a Stinkor and a Webstor for my collection
I thought Faker would have been pretty high on the list, but I'm genuinely baffled by Triclops at number 1. I actually don't have a few on this list. A lot of these guys I never saw at the store, or only saw once. I managed to get Hordak and Stratos in the one and only time I saw them on shelves. The only one I'm really annoyed I never got was She-Ra. Never once saw her in a store.
The first two waves of MOTU Origins were initially front loaded because Wal-Mart, as the exclusive US retailer until 2021, over ordered expecting faster sell through. As a consequence, waves three and four essentially went straight to international markets as Wal-Mart still had unsold stock.
I got lucky finding all of the Wave 2 except I only bought TrapJaw, Orko, and Man E Faces. Never saw them again in store. I skipped Scare Glow since I only want to buy the ones I know and love. WalMart went nut with Wave 1.
I didn’t see most of these being in the top 10 but cool vid regardless. Ninjor made sense. Scareglow is my #1 until they release Wundar. Origins has a ton of potential. I hope they don’t kill it.
What’s fun is how I’m collecting most of the Evil Warriors, big fan of Skeletor and Friends. So instead of Trap Jaw I’m gunna settle with Kronos or Kronis or whoever. I might hope for a mini-comic trap jaw, but that’s gunna go out fast. Now for Tri-Klops, I missed the initial wave, alright, I’ll just wait for them to release a Mini-Comic Tri-Klo- oh great that’s gone too.
Can't say I've ever seen more than 4 pegs of MOTUO figures at one time and that was just He-Man and Skeletor. More often it's one case at a time, but more often than not I go months without seeing anything at Walmart or Target. I think you're Canadian where things are drastically different. Not only do you have big displays at TRU, but you also pay less for the figures.
I have nearly everything MOC, excluding SDCC stuff, Roboto and She-Ra, have a MOC Super 7 She-Ra and have a vintage Roboto figure that still functions, but only has one weapon. I got really lucky with Wave 2 on BBTS as that Preorder window was small because after I did, bout an hour later, that wave was gone. As for Tri Klops, I got really lucky with him and snagged a Preorder on Entertainment Earth when he was first released. I’m mostly collecting vintage figures now, but only collecting Origins figures I really want.
Man, I WISH the origins line had flooded the pegs here. I had to get 99% of my figures online, since they were nowhere to be found at retail here. But, that tends to be par for the course for collecting toys in Canada :\
I’m guessing all of these figures have this value mint on card? I’ve taken all out of the package to put on display. I don’t intend to sell them since I have them with my original MOTU figures from when I was a kid. Thanks for the video.
I've picked up many of them despite the awful distribution here in the UK, often scouring the Italian and German Amazon sites to get some of them. Revised kneecap versions of She-Ra, both Evil Lyn's, Teela and worse, Greyskull The Sorceress were a real challenge to acquire
Never seen an overstock of Origins in my area except for He-Man and Skeletor. Others were always fairly scarce in most stores around here. Of your top 10 I only ever saw two of them in stores briefly (Man-at-Arms and Man-E-Faces).
I was lucky enough to find a tri klops for $22 at a comic book shop(with the help of a Reddit user). There is also a website from in the Netherlands that I was able to get man at arms, Beastman and Teela all under $19. They still have them up for sale. this is all CAD.
IIME, the explanations in these price differences is due to the effed-up, uneven distribution, possibly the production numbers as well. Yes, the LINE was everywhere, but the individual releases were NOT. He-Man and Skeletor were stacked up EVERYWHERE. And sat, everywhere, for many months. The rest of the line, all the fan favorites, were never seen in stores. Not around here anyway.
Zodac’s name was ALWAYS Zodac. “Evil cosmic enforcer” was his description, much like “Most powerful man in the universe” was He-Man’s description. It was NEVER his name. The confusion with Zodac had nothing to do with his name. It came about because in the initial wave, he was listed as “evil” but on the show and in various comics, he either helped the heroes or was neutral in his allegiances (neutrality eventually won out).
I've never seen a Trapjaw or Triklops being sold around here. I wouldn't be surprised if Mattel would have brought them in extremely limited quantities. The only Stratos I got was the one with beige skin.
1st did you say orco did not have an 80s toy because i have it. He came with a zip strip, that you would pull throw him and he would they spin around in circles. I spent many hours playing with him as a kid. 2nd would have been neat if you would have also compared todays prices of this 2020 version to that of the 80s toy line. Oddly I have most of these from the 80s version.
The Wave 3 figures are getting re-released at some point this year so I wonder if the value of these originals are going to decrease? I guess I'm rich since I have all of Wave 2 on card along with some of the exclusives from the honorable mentions.
Gave you a thumbs down because you put in the thumbnail, two of the most common peg warmers and least valuable in the entire line! VERY MISLEADING to anyone not familiar with Origins.
I just found a bunch of these in a house my boss bought to fix up n flip... They were all still in the package, I got my kids a couple of the american defense (G.I.Joes) they are still in the package as well..
Only ones on the main list I don't have are Tri-clops, Man-E-Faces, and She-ra. And for the last one, I'll just wait till next year for the more filmation style one! I believe Mattel us saving it for the big 35th anniversary of She Ra, plus I just don't like the version we currently have!
Did Saban Entertainment own the trademark for the Ninjor name when they introduced the ninja powers in the american adaptation Mighty Morphing Power Rangers Season 3 where they introduced the power coin creator NINJOR?
Fortunately I got these guys when prices were somewhat affordable. Triklops for me was 35. Now is see how much he’s going for and lucked out same with a she ra
Do you know if these prices also includes the European line? There are a few minor changes on the cards and commics on the European release. (Eg no "tag line" under the name of the character, no text in the comic, no character description on the back of the card) 😐😕
in cad at retail now there 28 bucks. rip. was like 20 max last 6 months. its actually cheaper for me as a CAD to buy from USA n pay import fees shipping fees and the currency transfer is still cheaper then retail in cad now. like rip
The same price? Maybe if they are loose. As a moc collector its a tiny difference if you pay 21 Dollars or 500 for a vintage figure. But the 80s figured are way better i agree with that.
Most of the top ten were from waves 2, 3, & 4, which had extremely shitty distribution in the US. Mattel did crank out more of wave 3, now they just have to do 2 & 4. A lot of people missed out on the standard Triklops.
Pfff. I got on the line early because I'd always wanted to collect modern, more articulated MOTU figures but I wasn't aware of Classics and by the time I was they were too expensive. But distribution here in the UK has been awful and those figures I haven't been able to get are now going for crazy money on the aftermarket, it won't be long before some of them are doing Classics money. So once again I'm priced out of collecting MOTU. Fine, I'll sell the figures I have and put the money towards more Marvel Legends or DCUC figures.

I didn't even know about the ninja guy so, that was a surprise. It's good to see Man-at-arms on there. I've always liked him.
The thing that surprised me the most was the fact that the figures weren't as expensive as I thought. Is this because it's still a new line?
@@perfectzell3489 likely because these are eBay summertime prices. Traditionally a lower time of year.
You obviously underestimated THE POWER.
Considered doing a masters of the wwe follow up ?
I'm surprised Scareglow didn't make the list. He's a highly desirable figure with a cool glow-in-the-dark feature.
I'm sure Mattel made more than enough this time around.
@@Clay3613 They did not. According to this list he would probably be listed right before She-Ra. Not easy to find at all anymore.
@@HansLollo he’s on bbts for $35
@@thewalruswasjason101 Yeah because there's already no production anymore and they are selling the leftovers for a 60%ish hike. Which is what I meant.

Im in Canada and i only missed wave 1 and 2.wave 3 to 8 at retail at 14.99$👍
She-Ra’s secret identity is Adora, not Andora. And Orko was in the vintage toy line.
Nope. Orko is not like jar jar binks. Try again.
Webstor has been the hardest to get hold of in UK and seems to be bringing in the biggest money on the secondary market over here
The fact that you can get vintage versions of roboman in good shape for half the price of his new version is nuts.

Okay, saying Orko is the Jar Jar Binks of MOTU is blasphemy.
Great video! Was pleasantly surprised at some of the going prices.
They go up because of those a holes that buy multiples and store them away
Prices are reported very low on here! Most of these figures go for way more just saying!
Scored myself a 2020 Triklops for $15 a week ago from a local toy store.
You can still get some of these for the original price at BBTS. Just curious but how did you determine their "current" values?
Not even 3 years old and they already going for over $100 for some of these lmao-
Cool, got a bunch of these and extra cool I got most of them on discount 👍🏻
5:41 Apparently Mattel developed POP after internal data revealed that almost of third of children playing with MOTU toys were girls.
Our stores never received anything after wave 1 unfortunately
Fun video. You should consider making a video update. I was surprised to see this line jump in price again.

I wish there was a law to stop raising prices. Let the true fans have their figures, and not just the rich.
What’s fun is how I’m collecting most of the Evil Warriors, big fan of Skeletor and Friends.
So instead of Trap Jaw I’m gunna settle with Kronos or Kronis or whoever. I might hope for a mini-comic trap jaw, but that’s gunna go out fast.

in cad at retail now there 28 bucks. rip. was like 20 max last 6 months. its actually cheaper for me as a CAD to buy from USA n pay import fees shipping fees and the currency transfer is still cheaper then retail in cad now. like rip
I always love to see a Masters video!
I wonder how much the original Man-At-Arms figure from the 80's, which doesn't have his moustache, goes for?
Honest question. Why collect the remakes when you can get the originals for the same price? These remakes are inferrior in quality imo.
The same price? Maybe if they are loose. As a moc collector its a tiny difference if you pay 21 Dollars or 500 for a vintage figure. But the 80s figured are way better i agree with that.
Most of the top ten were from waves 2, 3, & 4, which had extremely shitty distribution in the US. Mattel did crank out more of wave 3, now they just have to do 2 & 4. A lot of people missed out on the standard Triklops.
Here in Ohio, Wave 1 & 2 flooded stores and most went to clearance or Goodwill. That's how I got Skeletor and Man At Arms.
Here in germany webstor and ninjor are very rare. Also triclops, trap jaw and fisto
In Germany they should be plentiful because they are barbarians. Especially Heman.
I gave like 80 of these things, originals …the whole collection… to a 3 year old kid
I never saw waves 1 through 6 on shelves. Just He-Man, Skeletor and the occasional deluxe.
Pfff. I got on the line early because I'd always wanted to collect modern, more articulated MOTU figures but I wasn't aware of Classics and by the time I was they were too expensive. But distribution here in the UK has been awful and those figures I haven't been able to get are now going for crazy money on the aftermarket, it won't be long before some of them are doing Classics money. So once again I'm priced out of collecting MOTU. Fine, I'll sell the figures I have and put the money towards more Marvel Legends or DCUC figures.
Can you believe I had most of the original figures for these guys.
boy I'm glad I was able to get all of these at around retail. i think the most I paid for any of these was $25.
Falling off the pegs? I literally didn't see anything until wave 4 on pegs and even then it was once and then never again.
Ya.....nit anymore, prices went down and they got introduced to target since last month ( orco , man e faces and trap jaw.)
at 8 sec, i don't know where you live, but i was and i am barely able to find any of the figures
Tri-Klops is the only one I need. Bought She-Ra and Zodac on foreign cards a year ago
In the UK Webstor is the most expensive - he just didn't seem to arrive over here in any big numbers
I have a spare Tri-Klops (mint in unpunched box), and i' m willing to trade him with Trap-Jaw or Ninjor. Preferably with someone who lives in EU.
The new Stratos looks so weird!! He has like human colored skin and he is no longer gray!
Say what you want about the distribution at least i can go on any website or into any store and find this line.
Leave it up to us adults to screw up everything fun kids are not getting into motu enough
Wow, one of your first cartoon crushes and you got her name wrong. lol
Most of the Origins have not even arrived in my country. Very annoying.
