There's something about translucent plastic action figures that mesmerizes me. I remember having Blackstar toys as a kid and being obsessed with their translucent chests. Same with the Golden Pharaoh from Super Powers and all the Crystar heroes. My only caveat is that I like them to have a color tint, plain clear is not appealing for some reason. I didn't know the reasoning behind this Super 7 translucent blue vintage style Frozen Teela until after I bought it. There was a single episode in He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Season 2 (titled "The Ice Age Cometh") where the new villain Icer touches Teela and she freezes. It's a blink-and-you-miss-it moment, but it sure translates into a cool variant of this fantastic sculpt. In the episode, when He-Man finds Teela frozen like a statue, he does the logical thing and punches her. In cartoon-trope-land, punching ice is apparently the same as thawing I guess. I've seen it a thousand times and it's always ridiculous. Let's check out Teela below!
Here are some screengrabs I made of Teela in her frozen form. These are pretty much the only frames she appears frozen in.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here is Frozen Teela with her standard version from earlier this year.
Cheers!
I'm liking her and the blue tint. Appropriate for being frozen.
ReplyDeleteNice!
ReplyDeleteSo remember... He-Man says, "If your woman is treating you cold, punch her".
ReplyDeleteUnderstood.
