Teela Review

NoisyDvL5October 29, 2009June 13, 201240

If you've been buying MOTU Classics since their debut nearly a year ago, your MOTU shelf was starting to look more like the He-Man Woman Haters Club than Masters of the Universe. But, Mattel took a huge leap forward this month with its first all-new figure since last December's Beast Man: Teela. Fortunately, Mattel saw fit to not try and make a Teela using the He-Man buck and charged the 4H with making a female buck for the line. This new body is (hopefully) going to be seeing repeated use for the large catalog of She-Ra characters, but it all starts here with Teela.

The Ghostbusters line is on the tertiary of my collecting interest. It shouldn't be. I love the movies. I love the cartoon. I've always had Ghostbusters something around whether it's a t-shirt, a pin, or a Stay-Puft shaped notepad. But for some reason, I'm just not that excited piecemealing my GB's together month-to-month. Of all my SDCC exclusives, I was the most lukewarm to Egon (he's s a cool figure) and in that Twitter feed to the right you can see me tweeting back-and-forth with ActionFigurePics about how I just wasn't excited for the upcoming Ray before he got here. Ray is up for review today, but does he rekindle my interest in the line?

I like new stories coming out of old ideas. When creators take an old continuity or a basic concept and find ways to reinterpret it, I'm usually first in line to see the result. When the announcement about a new Masters of the Universe cartoon came along eight years ago, I had to try it out. And while not everything in that redesign lived up to my expectations, I loved the new Zodak. When Matty announced that they would continue to "Classic-ize" some of the 200x designs beyond Grayskull, Zodak was at the top of my want list. Luckily, he was at the top of Mattel's list too.

The G.I. Joe section at my Wal-Mart sure seems crowded lately. All I want to do is go to my local Wal-mart/TRU/Target and pick up the newest GI Joe figures, but I can’t. I’m sure my readers know why. There’s no room for anything new. All the first run movie toys are still fermenting away on the pegs like house guests that didn’t get the hint that it’s time to go.

Fourth in our four-part series on DCUC10 and fifth in our five-part series on DCUC9, this review covers Chemo & Imperiex.

These two may end up being a couple of the harder C&C's to complete. Worse still, they're hitting stores at relatively the same time and competing for aisle space with a couple different "Best Of" case assortments. I don't think either of them will end up being quite as difficult (or expensive) as Metallo, but unless we see a change in the next few weeks, these two C&C's are going to be a hot commodity. But are they worth all the hubbub?

Third in our four part series on DCUC10, this review covers Joker, Forager, and Batman.

There's always a broad spectrum of feelings when reviewing a DC Classics wave. There are the figures you wanted and the figures you didn't know you wanted. There are the highlights and then there are the warped legs. And sometimes there are accessories. These figures are all of those (with a strange quality control issue thrown in).

Second in our four part series on DCUC10, this review covers Robotman and Beast Boy.

DCUC10's lineup was released (leaked?) over a period of a few months. We knew it would have Joker. We were pretty sure it would have Man-Bat. AFI let us know about Power Girl. We knew Forager was coming, but we weren't sure which wave. We guessed (correctly) that there would be a Batman. But for the last two? Well, once Mattel confirmed a 7 figure lineup, one guess was as good as any other.
