Wouldn't mind a 2.0 He-Man with an open left hand and a more detailed head sculpt like the original.

Two new questions. POP fans will want to look at that first answer.

Scott is right with his answer.
I wondered who asked te question since I don't like the .org reference used in the question.

Oh...I just posted a thread for that on it's own. Phone call slowed down my typing. :lol:

If they make another variant of Teela--and you know they will--it would be neat if they tried to design it in a way like Bubble Power She-Ra, so that you can mix the parts and get a new and improved regular Teela.

I can live without Teela 2.0, as long as she gets reissued with corrections to the bobblehead issue and the hard skirt.

Interestingly enough, the Teela that I got from Black Friday does not have any of the known Teela issues. (In stark contrast to my old one.) The skirt is (almost) as soft as Evil-Lyn's, the waist twists easily, and there is no bobblehead.

So, I do think it's at least possible to make regular Teela passable without giving up the SKU spot.

If we do get another Teela, I would hope it's 200X.

Late commenting, but I have to say that a 2.0 He-Man or Teela (if done with the proper care and attention) would definitely be more worthwhile than the new examples mentioned: Mosquitor or Castaspella.

In a way, I hope the add on sub is Filmation Variants in 2013, that way I can save some money! I don't desperatly need a similar looking He-Man with a tan, or a Skeletor with a smoother face. I'll just get FM Hordak on the sale date.

Who was that person asking for the CAC extension? You've had 5 months!:sklol: At least you can enter!:hmsad:

An add-on sub would save alot of headaches.

Indeed, after the backlash on BGEL and SMAA, they really need to stay away from variants that are basically repaints in the sub!

The Filmation characters need to get more details, if they are pulled into the Classics line.

Imagine, they did a Filmation accurate Wind Raider. Those vehicle had no details!

I don't want ultra-plain figures of Fang Man or Scorpia.

I hope Mattel learns that they can't make CRAPPY variants.

I think Mattel learned their lessons on the Filmation She-Ra figures and their lack of detail.

You think, Mattel has learned something? Really? :) :D

Pretty much this- seeing as how they are still run by the old suits that were there in the 80's it's very doubtful. :hmlol:
