This is the first Mondo figure I've ever opened. I also own She-Ra and Teela (and have Evil-Lyn and Goddess pre-ordered), but I don't know where to display those yet, so they are still nestled in their shipper boxes waiting patiently for me to make some decisions. But when I was photographing my Altaya Dree-Elle earlier this week, I knew I had to free this Mondo mini-Dree-Elle from her plastic prison and get her in my photo tent. It was very interesting that the 1:6 scale Orko came with two mini bonus figures. I don't believe any Mondo 1:6 figures have included anything like this before. It's also funny to call them "mini" - because they are almost twice as large as the MOTUC Trollans (So I would call these 1:8 or 1:6 scale). But I'm a sucker for the 80s animation of my youth so I couldn't resist splurging on her. I view Dree-Elle as one of the quirkiest recurring characters in MOTU. Now comes the the grand experiment to see if I can recoup my money by selling the Orkos. Let's check out Dree-Elle below!
The 1/6 Scale Orko figure had a special Timed Edition - meaning that if you pre-ordered this before a certain deadline, you got two bonus mini-figures of Classic Orko and Dree-Elle.
Dree-Elle only appears to be articulated at the shoulders. Her neck has a seam, but it doesn't seem to move.
Dree-Elle (and the mini Orko) each come with a flight stand and an optional waist clip.
The waist clip seems tight - like it might even damage the figure. Luckily Dree-Elle has a post-hole under her robe so I didn't need to use it. (Orko doesn't have the same hole).
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here is my Dree-Elle collection.
And here she is with the Mini Orko figure.
Orko is balancing on his post since he doesn't have a port-hole under his robe.
Cheers!
