I'm a sucker for a tiny cartoony She-Ra figure. Unlike a lot of iconic heroes, She-Ra doesn't get this playful treatment very often. She's had a handful of Funko Pops (2013, 2021a, 2021b, and 2022), a very cool Dorbz, a criminally-scarce Rock Candy, an "unreleased" Eternia Mini, and a recent Funko Mystery Mini. That may seem like a decent list, but He-Man literally has dozens of figures in this aesthetic, so her exclusion from a lot of these lines is very noticeable to me. Luckily, Thrilljoy, the new vinyl collectible company by Brian Mariotti (the former CEO of Funko), has produced a She-Ra vinyl in two scales so far (plus a variant). That's a very strong showing right out of the gate for me. The character selection for Thrilljoy seems a bit random without the clearly defined "waves" of characters belonging to the same license we've come to expect. But that kind of excited me because I immediately dreamed of a Cheetara and Jem to display along with her. Fingers crossed! Let's check out She-Ra below!
The PIXL figures come with a small plastic display frame. The backdrop within the frame typically has a pattern related to the character. The PIXL figures all have a magnet feature in their feet that lets them stay (semi-securely) in the display.
The display boxes have grooves on all their outer edges that enable different characters to be linked together in a large grid.
Time for some Comparison Pics!
Here is the larger She-Ra PIX figure with the smaller She-Ra PIXL Blindbox figure.
Cheers!
