I'm admittedly not the biggest fan of the character designs from the 200x Mike Young Productions He-Man and the Masters of the Universe cartoon. With Teela in particular, the impossibly-long gravity-defying ponytail seemed extremely silly. And her blue shoulderpads were an odd departure from her typically-simple color palette. That said, I really appreciate when an action figure is a good representation of an animated design. And this Cartoon Collection Teela is a great example of that. There have been a few Teela figures from this show in the past, but they didn't look anything like the source material. But this one looks really good and actually makes me like the 200x animated design a little more. I even splurged on the Mondo preorder after I felt my judgement waning. I'm now surprising myself by looking forward to the Sorceress figure coming in Wave 6 (and I always felt like her redesign was the most tragic). Here's to changing opinions! Let's check out Teela below!
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here is Teela with the 200x Evil-Lyn from Wave 2.
Cheers!
IMO... your photos of the figure look more appealing to buy it, because the renders that mattel got for this figure are not good to sell it, because in the stock photos she looks like she went into a plastic surgery, she looks awful but seeing that this figure is more pretty than the toy maker published in its images, then i will buy it, because as you do, i like girl figures too. Amazing blog you have made, very useful and informative, thanks...
