Battle Armor He-Man is $19.97 at Walmart, and the listing does not say the plate still turns

Yesterday the product codes told us who was in the second half of the Origins build-a-figure run, and very little else. Toy Habits now reports that the listings for Battle Armor He-Man, Faker and Stratos have filled in with descriptions, and that Walmart has them at $19.97 each, out of stock. [1]

What Battle Armor He-Man is for

Walmart’s copy gives him a Power Sword and a battle-damaged harness. It does not name the axe Mattel showed with him at San Diego this summer, and it does not say how the armor is meant to work.

The 1984 figure he is named after was sold on exactly that, and Mattel put it on the front of the card: “Armor breastplate shows dents, ‘repairs’ at your touch!” The quote marks around “repairs” are Mattel’s own, because nothing is repaired. A plate in the chest pivots through three states, undamaged, dented and slashed, and turning it back is the repair.

Walmart’s phrase describes a look rather than a mechanism, and a harness molded already dented is a different toy from one that turns under a thumb. The description does not say which of the two this is.

The accessory lists keep coming up short

The axe is not the first thing to go missing from this run. Wave 1’s He-Man is listed without the axe shown on the convention table, Wave 1’s Battle Armor Man-At-Arms without his clear shield, and Wave 2’s Skeletor copy named the Havoc Staff and stopped without the half Power Sword. Walmart’s accessory lines have come in shorter than what Mattel has shown every time. None of this run’s descriptions has yet proved safe to read as a packout list.

Faker and Stratos

Faker’s listing says the harness comes off to show the robotic body underneath, though it stops short of saying how much of the robot is sculpted. Stratos gets the redesigned harness and the wings that mount on his arms. Both carry a piece of the seven inch Orc Monster, and as with every figure in both waves, Walmart does not say which piece.

Mattel has still not confirmed the wave split, and Toy Habits is reading it off the product codes rather than an announcement.

Where to buy

Nothing from JPM11 to JPM16 can be ordered at Walmart or at BigBadToyStore, and the $19.97 is a Walmart price on a listing showing no stock. The Origins figures from this run you can actually buy are the Wave 1 three, which BigBadToyStore has on pre-order at $22.99 on its base Mint Packaging tier: He-Man, Beast Man and Man-at-Arms, each carrying one piece of the Shadow Beast. [2] The rest of the range is on our MOTU Origins shelf.

Only the Wave 1 three can be ordered.

Notes

1. Walmart’s product copy is paraphrased from the Toy Habits report linked below, read 15 November 2026, which reproduces it and supplies listing screenshots. Walmart’s own search was tried from this desk today on the figure name, on the product code JPM14 and on “Masters of the Universe Origins Orc Monster”, and returned no Wave 3 or Wave 4 product on any of the three. The only Battle Armor He-Man it surfaced was an earlier release at $24.99 carrying 55 reviews. That is not this figure. The Wave 4 copy is therefore second hand, and what Toy Habits reports as absent from a description is reported here as absent.
2. Read first hand on 15 November 2026. A BigBadToyStore search for “Masters of the Universe Origins Shadow Beast” returned three products, the Wave 1 He-Man, Man-at-Arms and Beast Man, each PRE-ORDER at $22.99, and no Wave 2, Wave 3 or Wave 4 figure. The $22.99 is the base Mint Packaging tier, read first hand on 14 November 2026 against all three product pages; the $25.99 also shown on each page is the Mint Pro packaging tier and is not the product price. BigBadToyStore titles the third figure Man-at-Arms.
3. The 1984 card copy is read from our own photograph of a carded figure, shown above. Mattel’s punctuation, including the quote marks around “repairs”, is reproduced as printed.
