Masters of the Universe - TEELA!

Masters of the Universe - Collectible Figures #6 - Teela - Altaya 2022/2023

I'm pretty sad that my reviews of these Masters of the Universe Altaya figurines are coming to a close. I discovered them shortly after they started being released back in 2022 and it became a major obsession of mine to get all my favorites. There were fifteen female characters released, which were all a requirement for me, and I cherry-picked an additional four male characters. Honestly if I could afford them I would get the whole series. But eBay markups and shipping from Europe were a major roadblock. Teela was the figure that got me hooked. She was the 6th figure in the series and looked just like the 2014 Pop Culture Shock statue I was so covetous of. But when I got her in hand, she was the most disappointing of all due to a mispositioned hairpiece and a stunned facial expression (I fixed the hairpiece that you see in these photos, but when I got her she had a gigantic forehead). It almost made me think the effort to acquire them was too great for the return, but I'm glad I continued. Let's check out Teela 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.

Here is the Pop Culture Shock Teela statue from 2014.

The pose and style of many Altaya figurines remind me strongly of this statue line.

Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!

Here is Teela with her 2024 Cartoon Collection figure from Mattel.

And here is a montage I made of all the MOTU 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.

From Left to Right: Shokoti, Teela, Dree-Elle, Sorceress, Evil-Lyn, Queen Marlena, and Kittrina.

And here are the Altaya POP ladies for good measure:
