Mattel released today (via their packaging designer Roy Juarez) the new packaging design for their upcoming Masters of the Universe: Origins "Turtles of Grayskull" Mouse-Jaw figure. Now while we normally would reserve this packaging reveal to a our social media pages and a community forum post, this particular figure has introduced a brand new feature…

I wish they would have used the BAF potential in Origins since it started. Wasted opportunity.

Masterverse too. Imagine the New Eternia oversized figures they could have included.

Good! I was hoping Metal Head & Chrome Dome would be in this line. 1 down.

The Mouse Trap artwork also shows us Teela.  (I'm calling him Mouse-Trap.  Mouse-Jaw sounds stupid AF)

I like the more box like deluxe packaging.

Cool figure. But that name will get him mocked repeatedly by the other evil warriors. Except maybe Stinkor...

On one hand, I'm down with a Build-A-Figure!

On the other hand...isn't Mouse-Jaw an exclusive? This is going to be a pain to finish with Wal-Mart involved...

this omg ^^
i actually had the same thoughts as you, he-dad 🙂
that BAF would be a cool feature for the masterverse line.

not saying i don't love this for origins, i do but imo, i think BAF would suit masterverse better. masterverse is definitely an easier line to collect for, the figures are easier to find and much more affordable.

i still think that modulok would be a cool BAF, considering his whole stchick is his ability to detach his limbs and the fact he can still control each body part even when it's separated from him.
there's some cool mini-comic potential there too, or in the case of masterverse, fun story blurbs for the back of the packaging seeing is how masterverse doesn't have mini-comics. lol

There are 4 exclusives & 4 parts. 

Mouse-Trap & Sla'ker = Target

Moss-Man & Krang = Walmart

Correct me if I am wrong but this is the first time a build a figure element has been implemented within this MOTU brand yes? It's historic?

@adoralovely Definitely for masterverse. Multi-bot, maybe an oversized figure like Gygor or Procrustus.

@elder Yes this is a first. Again like everyone else, finding the Walmart exclusives is going to be a pain.

@brasco Chase figures not by design.

As cool as this would be, I'd miss not having packaging artwork for any figure that arrives just as a BAF. If it was a really cool figure it would be a bummer not to be able to have it MOC also.

Masterverse would be great for BAF because you can actually find all the figs in the waves at regular prices! Minicomics would be cool but it might up the price of the Masterverse figures a few bucks. I think they do it with Origins to capture that vintage way which is awesome. Also Origins are cheap to make. They are really basic toys in today's standards so you can add other stuff like comics with them to increase the appeal.

That Modulok Masterverse BAF idea is perfect!

I hope Krang comes with the legs so we can put the Krang pod on the Metal-Boto legs.
