The Official Battleground Teela Thread

[LEE-RO]

YES!!

Can't wait to have this figure in my possesion. Absolutley beautiful.
The best female figure revealed so far!

That head is going to look great on the standard Teela body(like in early media).

We need a unicorn now...

So I guess we also need DC blue top Adam.
That'd be a good way to get him on a single card.

[Mern-Ra]

FORGET Veena. This Teela will be King Grayskull's main squeeze!

That's exactly what I want next, in all his pants-less glory!

Hey... could a MOD please change the title of this thread to The OFFICIAL BATTLE GROUND TEELA thread?

Thanx, MAX! Wow... what a great way to celebrate my 700th post!

[Analog Jote]

I'm totally psyched for this figure, bar none She stole the show.

I love the new female buck! Is it me or does it look a little bit smaller? Teela doesn't look that tall in the pics. I like that.

You know what, I think it's that the head is on the neck properly (or maybe too low, who knows. lol). She looks the same as Catra height-wise before you get to the neck:

HAh wow, for a MOTU design that's pretty adult.

And the giant spiral cups just reminds me of the Japanese show Dogoo Girl:

Reminds me of something quite different....

Oh My Goodness, that whip for Catra IS horrible

What a fail -- that makes me sad. WHY didn't they put the whip at the other end?? Reboot mentioned that as a possibility... with the comb "spikes" at the other end...

just weird


As for Teela, I wonder if her head is lower because the neck peg is actually CORRECT... the women are going to look strange going forward, compared with the early women, because we are used to the bobble heads.

You know what!? You are RIGHT! Looks like they finally fixed the neck problem with this buck.
Good eye man!

Oh man you know what this means? Now I'm gonna want all the already released female figures with that body!

Me too. I didn't notice the neck thing until you mentioned the height thing though.

I wonder why they didn't give Catra this body? I mean, she's only ONE MONTH before Teela... *sigh*

HAHAHA!!!

I'm LOVING this Teela!! I'm guessing she'll be a totally different character. I don't think the face sculpt is even the same as the existing Teela's. This figure (surprisingly enough) is my favorite of the reveals!

I hope so. I think it's the same face actually, just different shading. I think.

Well, the card in the pictures reads "Battle Ground Teela", not some other name.

But I guess it could be changed before production.

I hope it's a place-holder name so that they can surprise us with the bio/name later.

I mean, blonde Teela was Oo-Larr's girlfriend in the mini-comics... I hope she's Teela'na.

YES! Cool Toy Review finally has their Mattel pictures up! I don't care what anyone says, they always have THE best photos!

[Mr. Shokoti]

I actually like the name Tesla that some people were calling her earlier. She could have been named after this guy...



Teela, The Sorceress, and Teela-Na will always be red heads in my book.

Something about the way the Four Horsemen do female faces doesn't sit well with me(although Evil-Lyn looks better with the bright yellow skin & make-up to conceal it). I much prefer the vintage faces. Battleground Teela looks lethargic to me. They should have called her Bedtime Teela.

[Artistix]

That is such a beautiful figure!

[AdultCollector]

She reminds me of the gal on the left, from that movie The Runaways:

I like her face. I think they're getting better, but I do agree that there are much prettier female face sculpts out there.

I was just looking at that last picture of BT I posted and she looks like she doesn't have a neck at all! I hope it's just the angle. If the neck isn't long enough on the new buck...I guess I'll just figure out a way to build up the neck post.

I recently got the 'Giganta' BAF Head and I LOVE the facial expression and the hair sculpt is superb, I can imagine it on a POP figure!

So far I dont have an issue with the 4H's Female face sculpts -Teela is beautiful,Adora is gorgeous,She-Ra's face and Hair is the ONLY part of the figure I actually like and Evil lyn has a beautiful sculpt, but the final execution of the paint lets it down (the TF proto was Sublime).

I love the Tesla (yeah...I like the name, Im using it!) Face its classy!

Catra I will hafta see in person I think!

[Colder Soldier]

This fig will probably have the fastest sell-out ever. Hopefully Matty will be prepared.

She reminds me of the gal on the left, from that movie The Runaways:

Dakota Fanning? Is she even legal yet?

[Sandman]

The neck peg does indeed look fixed, great news.

And big congratulations to MegaGearMax for getting his "championed" figure!

[Eamon]

Bikini Teel rules!! I foresee her being super popular like Vikor!!

[slackrguy]

I like her more than I thought I would. I am happy this line continually surprises me. LOVING the gun.

[AlessandraF]

This Teela reminds me this Filmaion's character (sorry, I don't remember her name right now).... and I think she will be pretty awesome with Vikor's helmet
