There's something incredibly satisfying about seeing a collection of Masters of the Universe Origins figures all laid out together!

The card art, the classic characters, and the nostalgia are hard to beat. Whether you grew up with He-Man or you're just discovering MOTU, these figures are a fantastic tribute to the originals.

Which one would you be taking home first? Let me know your favourite in the comments!
