Back in 2020 when the Masters of the Universe Origins line started, I was very excited that the third female character released would be She-Ra (in the form of a Power-Con exclusive). While this figure was great (as was the later retail release with sculpted hair), but the vintage toy design of She-Ra just never packed the same nostalgic punch for me as the Filmation version. This Cartoon Collection spinoff of the MOTUO line has been thrilling for me. Just when I think that I don't want another MOTU product to collect, they make this oddly perfect blend of vintage toy construction with animated stylings. She-Ra is the third female character they've made and I love them all. Plus the Catra and Frosta I have preordered look great. Up until now, the best vintage-style Filmation She-Ra was from the Super7 Vintage Collection, but I think this new Mattel Cartoon Collection version has that beat. I can't wait to see who else they might tackle. (Queen Marlena would be a dream). Let's check out She-Ra below!
She-Ra comes with her Power Sword and her Sword in the Form of Shield.
An awesome articulation surprise is that her Right wrist is articulated with side-to-side movement so that she can raise her Power Sword above her head.
She-Ra also came with a mini-comic that stars almost every POP character. If you're a believer that all these cameos are announcements of future figures, then we are in for a fun few years.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
And here is She-Ra with her MOTU Origins figures:
Power-Con Exclusive with rooted hair on the Left and the standard retail release on the Right.
Cheers!
