Masters of the Universe Origins Rio Blast Action Figure

The Fastest Draw in the Universe — Making His Origins Debut! 🤠🔫

Reach for the sky, Skeletor — because Rio Blast has finally arrived in the Masters of the Universe Origins line, and he came loaded for battle. This Masters of the Universe Origins Rio Blast Exclusive Action Figure marks the character's first-ever appearance in the Origins lineup, giving MOTU collectors the cyborg cowboy they've been waiting to add to their Heroic Warriors display.

Rio Blast is one of the most conceptually unique characters in the entire MOTU roster — a man who took the Wild West gunslinger archetype and fused it with futuristic cyborg technology to create something that shouldn't work but absolutely does. From the planet Loredos and known as the fastest draw in the universe, Rio Blast is the sole survivor of a group of heroic explorers who wound up as the law on a lost frontier — a backstory as rugged and dramatic as the character himself. He made his first appearance in the Mattel mini-comic "The Fastest Draw in the Universe" as He-Man's quick-draw deputy, and his blend of cowboy flair and laser-blasting cyborg technology made him an instant fan favorite among collectors who appreciate the deeper bench of the Heroic Warriors roster.

The original 1986 Rio Blast figure is fondly remembered for its action feature — the chest and leg panels that opened to reveal hidden blasters — and this Origins release captures that same energy with character-accurate detailing that pays homage to that original release while bringing it into the modern Origins format.

What's in the box:

Standing over 5.5 inches tall with 16 points of articulation, Rio Blast arrives fully armed for interplanetary law enforcement. His arsenal includes laser guns concealed in his thighs, chest, and hands — deployable at a moment's notice — plus the signature pack of blasters on his back that he swings over his head in battle to transform into a one-man laser-blasting army. The included mini-comic book adds storytelling depth to the character and makes this a complete collector package worthy of display in or out of the box.

As a Mattel Creations Exclusive, Rio Blast was only available through Mattel's own platform during a limited window, making the secondary market the only option for collectors who missed the original release.

Whether you're a MOTU collector building out the full Heroic Warriors roster, a Rio Blast fan who's been waiting patiently for the character to make his Origins debut, or you just appreciate a cyborg cowboy with enough firepower to take on the entire Evil Horde single-handedly — the fastest draw in the universe is ready to join your collection.
