While he may have lost his job as a Corporate Mascot he still has plenty of reason to be smiling... Mattel and the 4Horsemen have finally done something that has NEVER Been done before... a Queen Marlena Action Figure!! She was the SDCC 2011 MOTUC Exclusive.
Well I finally got mine! (Technically it's a Marlena Glenn Figure, but with a bit of parts swapping I can have the Queen of Eternos... in her Green Filmation garb!!)
Well where do I start... Ratings, 5 is awesome and 1 is crap... yeah! We'll start with that...
Articulation:
Captain Glenn is using the 1.0 Buck and we've already seen what it can do... Nothing new here...
Her Astronaut dress does not hinder her movement. Now her Queen Dress makes her a statue from the neck down. (Except her arms)
Captain Glenn: 4.0 Queen Marlena: 2.0
Paint and Sculpt:
She's Mostly a She-Ra (figure without her dress) from the neck down. Her Astronaut dress is similar to the Adora dress. and her Queen Dress is brand new. Paintwise she's OK. Very little slop, but there seems to be some incomplete/weird paint applications...
HER EYES!! They look dead thanks to the weird choice in makig them just a black dot.
She looks like she's wearing too much eyeliner on her Astronaut head, While the queen head has a bit of paint missing on her hair. Her Scepter seems to be missing some paint.
3.0
Accessories:
She's got:
Extra Queen Head
Queen Dress
2 Piece Helmet
Repaint of Battleground Teela's Sword
Repaint of Adora's gun and Holster
a 1987 Movie Inspired Rifle
CRINGER!!
The dresses are easy to swap. The Tab system works better than expected. Everything else is normal stuff... weapons, Extra head... She gets a 5.0
Overall:
Captain Glenn Mode: 4.0
Queen Marlena Mode: 3.33
Here's the thing: While Marlena loses a LOT of Articulation in Queen Mode, she still looks awesome... (a bit pissed off, but the Horsemen are NOT perfect) So, having the Entire Royal Family of Eternos outweighs the cons in my mind...
Now Cringer... he's the $5 fig in this 2-pack... Now what can I say about him?
He's very Filmation-like. He's a bit too small (I know Logistics and stuff...) and Underarticulated...
I mean we have a Cringer that cannot cower in fear... But at least it's a Cringer that is NOT Naked Battle Cat...
