Wonderbread He-Man and Wonderbra Teela!!!

I can't say I don't like the blonde version of Teela. But it's far more generic than the version we have. I could do with a long pony tail in 200x style (but that should be an extra head and not a variant), but I feel that part of Teela being special is that she is a red head instead of the typical blonde barbarian girl (yeah I remember Red Sonja but still it's not the most typical hair color).

I might get that version of Teela, but it's not a priority to me. I love the version we're getting, with the flaming red hair :hmgrin:

Yeah, that would be a great Teela to have! Skeletor would be able to dispatch her with a cold breeze! An easily defeatable hero is always an excellent thing.

That's why we have the standard figures and then there are the bonus figures for the niche audiences.

Do you still really believe in that lie or trick from Mattel ?:hmroll: Because, personally, I see we could have seen 2 NEW FIGURES (no bonus/repaint/variant stuff) per month instead of one new and one "bonus" (bogus ?) figure !

I wonder if we will ever have a chance to see all the 80's MOTU/POP/NA characters made, or if we'll be filled with more bonus figures/repaints/variants before the line ends... or crashes down.:sksad:

Right now, I'd say this chance is running thin... Hope I'm wrong !

Like a majority of the heroes who aren't wearing much?

Why is it a lie or a trick? The bonus figures pretty much only cater to niche audiences. If you don't care for a He-Man variant, Wonder Bread He-Man, another version of The Sorceress or another Cosmic Enforcer, they aren't taking up any normal slots for the unique characters.

You're getting 12 figures a month, just like before. Plus MORE figures if you want them. Why the anxiety?

Besides, the bonus figures are optional, not mandatory. They'll help pay for new tooling on upcoming characters.

We have over 100 figures to go through, not including variants and the Meteorbs (which are just lame), and not knowing exactly how many never produced before figures were getting. That's over 8 years to get at the current 12 figures a year rate. And I seriously doubt MotUC will last half of that (if the movie does come out in 2011 we will probably get a new line and I'd be surprised if MotUC wasn't discontinued). So I'd rather have a second new figure each month than these bonus every month, which will soon look too much like resued parts of a collection which by itself reuses parts a lot. I'm getting all the variants and "extras" announced so far (even BA He-Man because he looks damn cool, but that's the only extra He-Man I'll be getting), so I hope they won't overdue on extras, because even though I'd like to get the full collection for once, I won't if it implies getting 20 He-Mans, 15 Skeletors and 10 Teelas. Just repaint Mer-Man and turn him into Stinkor, and call him a bonus figure if you will :hmgrin:

I prefer the red hair any day as well actually :teblsh:
Teela with red hair makes her look better imo, more fierce!
But seeing as how I would love it even more to have a Teela with her long hair down, I'm all up for the classic DC Bikini Teela.
Seriously, who wouldn't want to see a Wonderbra Teela :teblsh:
I will repaint her Blonde hair to Red, buy a few of the 1st release as well, do a head swap between the figures to make all 3 versions and I'll be the happiest camper around :tegrin:

I'd by the Teela from the DC comics that was shown on the first post of this thread. I like how she seems to be wearing the furry shorts like all the other MOTU characters!! LOL!

I heard that Teela will have the bikini on under her outfit, but you have to cut off her outfit to see it. :hmlol:

* This is just a joke, do not cut open the outfit on your Teela.

You mean people weren't planning on cutting off her outfit anyway?

*BAH-DA-BUM* Thanks folks, I'm here all week!

I'm sure that the overwhelming response will be NO, but I really dig this outfit. She wore it in the first issue of that DC mini waaay back in '83.

I think it would make a fantastic figure. It actually is legit, no matter how short lived.

NO, sorry but if they ever do a 'Flesh Gordon' version of the MOTUC characters, I wont be collecting!

LOL! Fans will want to see what's going on under there, articulation-wise.

If Teela had removeable clothes like the Polly Pocket line, she could have a removable white outer garment and a removable bikini, both swappable. Basically Mattel should just make a naked Teela and use the removable rubber clothing to create the variants.

I think Mattel can EASILY make her as a bonus figure, thanks to her dress being a separate piece from her actual body.

• New head
• New bra
• New female loincloth underwear
• Repainted blonde Teela head
• Give her Man-At-Arms' little gun
• Make a new "generic" sword.

I hope her armor will come off like all the other MOTU figures. They need to be consistent so that it can be interchangeable. Not that anyone else is going to be wearing those metal cups of hers. :sklol:

No.

When I was a kid one of the coolest things Teela had going for her was that she had red hair. I was so sick of every heroine having blond. I couldnt stand it. No one had brown or black hair save evil people and no one had red. I wouldnt want it.

That is the end of my rant :tegrin:

I think you're concentrating on the wrong thing. :sklol: The blonde hair is probably the most incidental thing to this version of Teela. :hmlol:

Didn't you know Teela IS naked underneath her clothes? :teeek:

LOL!! obviously, but yeah I guess we'll find out how the FIGURE looks like underneath the dress. I'm sure someone will undress her! :tegrin:

I wonder if anybody will cut her clothes off just to see whats there? I always wanted to cut the Rabbit suit off my BTVS Anya figure but never had the guts to.I still wonder to this day what was there.

I don't know guys Blonde Teela just doesn't look special anymore,just generic.But if people want one then I hope they make one..

No thanks... looks more like Xena than Teela. If the figure doesn't resemble the character i see in the tv shows, i'm generally not interested. It looks like a blatant rip-off of slave Leia to me. i like Teela's standard outfit much better, since it actually looks like something original to me.

As others have said, imo Teela looks better with red hair. practically ever fictional female character is blonde, so it's nice to have a female once in a while that isn't.

The generic barbarian look is her appeal, much like Ice Armor He-Man or even the Barbarian He-Man. She looks more barbarian-like.

You're right...she is the Slave Leia of MOTUC. As for a rip off, I think she pre-dates Slave Leia by a year (IIRC, DC mini-series came out in 1982, Return of the Jedi came out in 1983). I'll have to check...

It doesn't replace her standard costume when she wears in in issue#2.
It's just another outfit.

For some of us, Teela was originally blonde. She was like that in practically all the media before her actual figure came out. Since this is MOTU Classics, you'd think that she would had been blonde.

However, I wouldn't deny others a red haired Teela.

Teela doesn't need to only have one outfit, just like He-Man has his battle armor. What happens when there's a heat wave or her white leotard with the gold trim gets dirty/ hot and sweaty and it goes in the wash? Teela can change out of that outfit once in a while as her clothes aren't permanently bonded to her. I'm sure she doesn't go to bed in it but probably sleeps completely naked.

You mean like Jean Grey/Phoenix, Mary Jane Watson, Red Sonja, Rachel Summers (Phoenix II), Black Widow, Pepper Potts, Siryn, Spider-Woman II, Medusa, Hellcat, Firestar, Poison Ivy, Giganta, Artemis, Hawkgirl, Batgirl, Starfire, Kaitlin Fairchild? Practically every fictional female character like those?
