My favorite thing about Masters of the Universe Revelation and Revolution was the constant evolutions of the two main female characters, Evil-Lyn and Teela. The journey of these characters was organic and fit into the Masters mythos seamlessly. Evil-Lyn was on her unquenchable quest for power, and Teela was facing her mysterious origins and family legacy. And as toy hobbyists, we have thankfully been blessed with action figures of nearly every incarnation of these characters (at this point, I think we are only missing Teela's final two forms). At the penultimate battle in Revolution, Teela has to call upon the ancient magics and become the ancient Snake Goddess to save Preternia. The lore of the familiar staffs (The Staff of Zoar, the Staff of Ka, and the Havok Staff) each being linked to a different form of Sorceress is genius. Plus the tie-in to the old Preternian Goddess stories from the vintage mini-comics is some glorious fan service. And who doesn't love a cool reptilian action figure. Let's check out Teela below!
This figure is pretty great. The only things I don't love are the hideous lower-leg articulation and the cheap cloth snakeskin train. But she easily has the best face of any of the Revelation/Revolution ladies so far, so I'm willing to overlook her lower half.
Teela comes with a snake staff (Staff of Ka), two pairs of hands, and a green energy effect in the shape of a snake head.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here is Teela with the recent New Eternia Evil-Lyn.
Cheers!
