I can freely admit that, historically, my least favorite part of She-Ra: The Princess of Power was Madame Razz. I just never appreciate the comic relief elements in cartoons. These characters were a staple of the genre in my youth. My peers loved them, but I found them unbearably irritating. That said, I acknowledge she is iconic to the series and any line-up of POP characters would seem incomplete without her. My second admission is that the phrase "Oh, dearie my!" is permanently in my verbal repertoire when I'm feeling goofy (read: intoxicated), even if no one gets the reference. I have purchased quite a few of these Spanish Altaya figurines (all 17 females and a handful of the men), and Madame Razz was notable for being the only one that arrived broken. Luckily it was a clean break; the bottom of her feet off the base. But the extra effort I had to put into repairing her oddly enough made me more attached to the kooky old broad. Let's check out Madame Razz below!
These figurines are made of a lightweight plastic. Their stands are even hollow.
They each come in a bubble-card on (pretty flimsy) cardboard. The cardback is essentially featureless.
The figure comes in a large polybag with a comic-sized magazine.
These figurines were originally released in Spain, with a second release in France roughly six months behind. The release numbers are fairly consistent, but 8 of the 77 characters (Orko, Hordak, Ram-Man, Trap Jaw, Whiplash, Stratos, Evil Lyn, and Randor) have different numbers depending of the Country of release.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here is Madame Razz with her 2014 MOTUC figure.
And here is a montage I made of all the POP ladies in this series. I resized all the images using the fact that their bases are the same size (not a perfect method so the scales might be slightly off). But then the bases were so wide that I photoshopped them away to space them closer together. I'll make a similar one with the eight MOTU ladies soon and add it to all these posts as reference.
From Left to Right: Huntara, Madame Razz, Kowl, She-Ra, Glimmer, Granita, Scorpia, Shadow Weaver, and Catra.
Cheers!
