In my humble opinion, Shadow Weaver was the character that made She-Ra the Princess of Power (1985-1987) such a great show. The heroes in the Great Rebellion were all great. But, objectively, the were all pretty girly with pastel colors and toyetic (doll-like) features. The main antagonist was Hordak, who I really appreciated because he attracted the male He-Man audience. (If Hordak was more powerful that Skeletor, than She-Ra must be taken seriously, right?) But with such a female-centric show, the female villains were going to be the focus for the hardcore fans. Most of these villains were bumbling caricatures. The voices alone made them silly, let alone the many botched schemes throughout the series. But standing right by Hordak's side, and appearing in nearly every episode, was Shadow Weaver, the creepy and powerful spellcaster who provided a sharp contrast to all the pastel heroes and incompetent villains. She balanced the abundant stereotypes and leant a strong cool factor to the show.
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.
Time for a Comparison Pic!
Here is Shadow Weaver with her 2019 figure from Super7's MOTU Vintage line.
When I get the MOTUO Shadow Weaver next month I'll take a full group shot of all her figures.
Cheers!
