It came from the Toy Chest... Yikes! It's uh, Teela?

You had one job Super7... And the you have failed this Toyline!! Screwing up Tri-Klops hurts a bit, but this Teela makes Point Dreadful Teela look good...
She's a bit of a bunch of blunders put together... Engineering troubles, bad Sculpt translation, bad paint apps. You name it.

Articulation:
I'm afraid to move her head... Feels too tight and I don't want anything to snap... (Seeing that I got one with "decent legs", I don't want to risk it and get a TMNT HIPS TEELA)
Other than her head, she has a decent range of Articulation.
4.5
Pose is a tribute to a better looking Teela.

Paint and Sculpt:
What the Hell happened to her!? Engineering failed her. The chemical combinations for the plastics failed her. Translating the Sculpt of the prototype to actual figure failed her... Then painting the figure failed.
Putting the accessories on her is another failure, because the shield leaves paint marks on her bracers and the handle on her sword is too thick for her...
This figure is Murphy's Law personified.
But in the name of fairness, she kinda does a few things not awful... 2.5

Accessories:
Sword and Shield. I mentioned their flaws on the Paint and Sculpt part. So
2.0

Overall:
Teela gets a 3.0 as her final score... Her decent range of Articulation kinda saved her here.
The engineering of her crotch NEEDS to be fixed for future figures... (Ie, Granita or Sorceress) The formula for the plastics needs to be fixed due to breakage issues on her neck peg that have been floating around online. Her head needs to be redone... Maybe Teela 3.0, or 4.0? I keep forgetting how many attempts to "fix Teela" have been made.
