It Came from the Toy Chest: Mara of Primus

It's a bit hard to come with anything witty about this figure for an It Came from the Toy Chest, seeing that she shares a name with my cousin... Her name is Primus... My cousin's...

OK, so here's the deal: I've mentioned my cousin on a previous rant. She was my gateway to POP toys. Thing is that she scared me as a kid. I could only play with her POP toys the Filmation inspired way whenever she took a nap or something else caught her interest long enough for me to sneak around and play with MOTU and POP toys. She preferred the Mattel way... which was pretty much Barbie-inspired. To this day her laugh gives me the willies. Then again, she is the reason why I can't watch Slayers... My cousin laughs like Naga the Serpent. But, we're not here to talk about Cousin Primus...

So, Mara is basically the "Teela" of New Adventures... You know, Female, possible love interest for Adam, kinda has her suspicions about He-Man... She's Master Sebrian's Assistant and we got a toy of her.

Articulation:
Sopinsky Dropped the Ball Here. Battleground Teela Thighs!? No Rocker Ankles AND NO BOOT CUT!?

Females get the Short end of the stick, but DAYUM!
2.5

Bow is channeling his inner K-Pop singing power.

Paint and Sculpt:
Maras have a case of Derp-Eye. mine luckily doesn't, but some of her gold is a bit off... and by that I mean SLOPPY AS HECK!
The Sculpt is cool, but weird Child Safety Laws on Adult Collectibles ruin Mara's Spiked Bracelet. On the Other hand she has some extra ASSets sculpted on her.
4.0

Accessories:
She has a Pugil stick! and a shield... Her secret weapon? Make fun of Will Smith's children... Or at least the one that was in bed with RRRRRRRRRRICO! (It's been a while since I've pulled a Hannah Reference) Mara uses Extensions and a spiked ball at the end... You tell her that her Extensions look fake... I'll call a medic!
4.0

Overall:
Mara gets a 3.5 as her final score. I blame her Articulation for the lower score...

Personally, I prefer the Toga Version of the character, but we got this one, which is a pleasant surprise. Can't wait for Crita Next year.
Just to diminish the Sausagefest in Space.

Part of this story is on the Evil Seed Review.

It came from the Toy chest: *bleep* you, Artichoke!

I'm aware that Chokey the Artichoke is a sub exclusive for the Filmation Sub-Line, but the REALLY COOL Looking Evil Seed made it to MOTUC First!

Who is Evil Seed? Basically Evil Mossman... The End!
He is also a douchebag... Who looks like Carnage if the symbiote had bonded with Asparagus.


The 200X Evil Seed has something to make him stand out...

Guess who else is a douchebag?

MOTUC Douchebros!

Articulation:
The Plant Douche has Normal Articulation... Be careful with the thighs... One bad move could tear the vines. Other than that, it's standard Articulation without Bootcut. I can't stress this enough, don't be an idiot with the thigh Articulation, you might break your figure.
4.0
Paint and Sculpt:
Surprisingly he got a ton of welcome new parts! His colors look more plant-like in real life. One nifty thing is that he has 2 spikes on his back that can kinda hold an accessory on it. Not sure if Intentional or not.
5.0

Accessories:
A Filmation Scepter of Power... on a 200X Figure... Weird, huh? A little Vine Viper.
Shame that they didn't add a Clip-On Vine Spike.
2.5

Say ello' to my lil' friend!

Overall:
Evil Seed gets a 3.83 because he needed something extra to make him pop. a SINGLE Accessory, seeing that the other one if for EP Randor takes a lot from him. Hopefully some Shapeways Master will make something for him.
