I've actually been really hesitant with buying ReAction figures. This was entirely by design because I knew I could get very obsessed with the line very fast. When they first came out, I quickly assembled a wishlist of figures totaling hundreds of dollars. It was a little overwhelming (so I ended up getting none). But then I got suckered into one of those GameStop Black Friday mystery box crazes and I was suddenly the proud owner of tons of ReActions. I really dig the nostalgic retro design and I've loved cherrypicking random characters over the years. But the first wave I was truly obsessed with finding was this She-Ra themed MOTU wave. I only wish there would be plans for a second wave. It's my understanding that the line is over after the recent release of Panthor and Battle Cat, but it's such a pity there wasn't a follow-up She-Ra wave with Glimmer, Catra, Bow, Adora, Mermista... literally I would love any POP character. Maybe even a Swiftwind! Oh well, at least we got this great wave. Let's check them out below!

She-Ra is actually my least favorite figure of the wave. Her face is a little odd, but I chalk that up to the design style. But she also has one leg slightly shorter than the other and she's missing her iconic red cape. For such a simple construction and bloated price point, I with those problems could be fixed.

Mantenna has an amazing and unexpected action feature. The little lever on his head make his eyes bug out.

Shadow Weaver is one of the coolest MOTU characters. Love these ReAction figures.
ReplyDeleteI heard an interview at Toy Fair where it was implied that Mattel may release portions of the license back to Super7 once all their merchandising plans for the movie and Netflix shows are mapped out. Somehow I doubt Mattel will be making retro 3.75 figures, so my fingers are crossed that Super7 will get the MOTU license for ReAction back soon.
