Teela: clone of the goddess/sorceress, created by Skeletor, so in a way that means he's her daddy. He wants to marry her in order to inherit Grayskull or something.
At least filmation eliminated the creepiness of her origin.
Articulation
For the sake of fairness I will try to remain as impartial as possible but articulation is one of the things that this figure does pretty good. I may hate the idea, I may hate the way some things are executed, but this figure has a decent range of articulation. I cannot deny that. It has less articulation then I Classics figure but more than a 200X.
Think 200X with elbow, knee, ankle, and wrist hinge articulation. Unlike Classics she does not have less articulation than her male counterparts.
3.5
Paint and sculpt
Unlike my previous two figures I actually like this Origins head. She doesn't look like a toddler in an adult body like the Vintage figure. At the same time she doesn't look like a hard-ass like say her Classics figure. I wish the mustard yellow parts of her armor were actually painted gold. Sadly, the only sour point on her is the knees. They are fugly.
4.5
Accessories
Staff of Ka
Shield
Snake armor
I kind of feel like she needed an additional weapon in this case a sword. She feels a bit Bare Bones with just the staff and Shield. I understand that the Vintage figure came only with the sword and shield but it's 2020.
3.0
He-Man: This is MADNESS!! Oh no... You're not going to do it, are you? Teela:Norost? To je Sparta. Skeletor: Right in the Meteorbs! |
Overall
Teela gets a 3.67 as her final score. Out of all the Origins figures, she's the better looking of the bunch... knees aside. I have to mention that there is a common issue of her arms falling off. Mine does not have that isssue, BUT IT IS an issie with the female figures... so far Teela and Evil Lyn.
It made me a bit teary eye to finally have a "vintage sized" Teela.
He-Man: My Hero... Teela: Utihni in me poljubi! He-Man: I have no idea what you said but it makes me... MOIST! Skeletor: Neitlich, take me with you... |
