SGT SLAUGHTER

Sgt. Slaughter from Mattel's Masters of the Universe Origins line (Modern Era), released circa 2020–2025.

The nostalgia-coded MOTU return — 5.5-inch vintage proportions with modern articulation added under the hood. Origins deliberately echoes the 1982 line while delivering enough movement for posing.

Sgt. Slaughter is one of G.I. Joe's most recognizable characters — a drill sergeant and Joe field commander introduced in the 1985 animated film and toys. The character is unique in being based on a real wrestler, Robert Remus, who worked under the Sgt. Slaughter persona for the WWF (1980, 1990-1991) in addition to his G.I. Joe franchise role. His 1986 G.I. Joe figure and the Triple T tank are classic pieces. In WWF, his Iraqi sympathizer heel turn and matches with Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania VII drew massive heat.
