I say this is pushing it.
I respectfully disagree that the female is Mermista. I think by the time this piece was rendered (and it seems like a detailed rendering, not anything rough - it's colored and all), Mermista was ALREADY a released character in wave 2. My theory is this drawing was for wave 3 product. She-Ra is there because, obviously, she is the title character. Spinnerella was to be a new character and already you can see she was planned to be a repainted Flutterina body, and the Bubble Carriage was made for this Bubble-Girl and she is in the driver's side after all.Quote:

I can totally see her action feature as a toy being like, "HUH?!? Blow Bubbles? that's it?" and then Filmation does something brilliant with her. I know I have some ideas. :hmlol:
Everything Auggie said makes perfect sense. Maybe the heads at Mattel told them to scale back on the third wave, so they had to cut the bubble girl out, and just gave She-Ra her abilities/accessories?
#1.) How do you get Mermista from that?? Her colors are wrong, her clothing is wrong...??
#2.) Would it not make more sense that she was yet-to-be-announced...tying her in with the vehicle?
#3.) NO NO NO...no they should NOT make her!
Why waste a precious POP spot for someone people can't figure out who it is? There are far too many in demand figures to replace it with this off-the-wall person.
This makes WAY more sense!Quote:

In my 80s lame-o "Mattel naming convention" mind, Bubble-Linda springs to mind. :hmlol:
well, if we're going retro lame-o...
I'll take it back to the swingin' 60's inspired "Bubble-rella"
:mmgrin:

I think part of PoP's problem is that obscure characters (Star Sisters, Netossa) that seem to be wanted because they were hard to get or unproduced in the original line keep getting made over core characters.
I don't see how getting a figure of the mysterious Bubble-Maiden there is any different than wading through endless variations of He-Man and Co's design predecessors. I mean, we're getting the Foe-Men... Bubble-Maiden should be more than welcome at the table, as well as He-Ra, Prototype Double-Trouble, and other proto-ladies.
Be cool if they did something like this (both female and male bucks) and allowed the fans to "customize" a story or bio or weapons and such. Kind of like the G.I. Joe Steel Brigade back in the 80's where you could be a member of G.I. Joe.
I thought the fans called her "Bubble Maiden"?
You know i´m totally on your side. Prototype Double Trouble with her blue/magenta color scheme looks amazing(i´m not the biggest green fan...) and blood red prototype Catra is very high on my wish list!Quote:

I'm all for Bubble Maiden being done by MOTUC. I love obscure, prototype and mystery figures.
Has anyone redrawn her? Gbagok? Emiliano? Anyone?
