I'm partway through the second half of Masters of the Universe: Revelation on Netflix and I'm loving it. Teela has always been the most interesting character in the He-Man universe IMO (with Marlena being a close second). The original Masters of the Universe series was fantastic and iconic, but the stories just didn't have a lot of depth. Most characters were a name and a toy gimmick, and not much else (besides awesome). But the writers seemed to put extra effort into the characters that didn't have a punny name or action gimmick. And Teela (and Marlena) were the big recipients of that attention and got complex intriguing backstories. The fact that Revelation seems to focus on Teela is no surprise at all. She is essentially the only MOTU character with any kind of fated prophecy driving a story. Her transformation to a mercenary warrior is interesting and believable. And, honestly, the initial hate from the fanbase just makes me like this look even more. Let's check out warrior Teela below!
Teela's torso armor is a bit bulky and cumbersome. It's unfortunately not removable.
Teela comes with several alternate hands and her weapon in three different forms: collapsed, blade, and staff.
Her collapsed staff can fit in the loop at the small of her back.
Time for a Comparison Pic!
Here is Teela with two recent similarly-scaled figures: Yellow Ranger and Sylvie.
Cheers!
