Awesome. That figure came out really well and Dan got some great poses out of it.![]()
Great looking figure. POP finished was just a dream,now I can't believe it is happening.

So according to Dan's Review Angella isn't the problem...It's Glimmer since Angella and Sweetbee are the same hight.
Glimmer was designed incorrectly by Ruben while he worked on MOTUC's and it's probably due to the fact Glimmer needed a larger Pelvise because Ruben designed skirts not Leotards like he should have. Brandon Designed Angella with the Leotard so she needed a smaller Pelvise under it.
So many POP ladies in the line got the shaft due to Ruben's Laziness![]()
Collectors Choice most Wanted Characacters:
Hunga The Harpy, Kittrina, Melaktha, Stridor, Sagitar, General Tateran, Kothos, 200x Sorceress.
Club Grayskull Filmation most Wanted Characacters:
Grizzlor, Leech, Mantenna, Horde Trooper, She-Ra, Prince Adam, Stratos, Modulok, Multibot, Ram-Man, Whiplash, Webstor
as you can see, this is great figure, and I never even cared much for POP before Classics. Looking forward to her! It is worth noting, another great review by Pixel Dan!

I'm not a POP fan, so the bio confused me...she was Queen Regent of one of Sterna's largest kingdoms?
I thought all the POP stuff originated on Etheria.

Looks great! Not all that keen on the glued up skirt piece, though. I realize I'm in the super minority with that one. I've been totally fine with the "long tunic" look. Gluing it up just hinders leg movement and I've never been fond of the leotard look. Ah well.
Rest of her looks fantastic! Love the wings, the sword, and the halo is awesome (what with my love for translucent things). I don't have many ties to the toon, so her size is fine with me. She'll just be shorter than her daughter. It's a common thing in my family, so it ain't crazy, to me (my dad was towering over his dad when he was in his teens, and my brother and I were way over my mom by the time I was in high school.)

Alexx has a blog?! Come on in and check out Toys and Tomfoolery! You won't regret it...until the next morning.
She came out so good! My only complaint is that we got Club Etheria under an inferior designer's rule. Angella puts a lot of what came before her, including She-Ra herself, to shame.
Scott chimed in on another thread and said "somebody else" must have changed the Etheria references to Eternia. According to Scott, it could've even been Chinese workers, not-as-fluent in English as himself ...
and then ...

Nice review! Does anyone know what flight stand Dan was using?
Well, then I guess those Chinese guys must have logged with Scott's ID at matty collector & answered in the Ask Matty section as well ! How dare they ??
Based on his words, everything in MOTUC should have been Eternia based ! Wait, haven't we had Club "etheria" sub ? I don't remember....... was that called Faketernia SUB ??

Angella is stunning. It just reinforces the fact poor frosta needs a do over. I mean look at scorpia, entrapta, glimmer, castaspella, catra, sweet bee, mermista, spinnerella, peekablue, flutterina. Frosta just looks like the ugly stepsister. And it wouldn't take much just use the pre existing body from neck down just add a nice bright white paint, cast castaspella's blast effect in light blue and give her a brand new head and hair sculpt and we are set. I just don't know how the old girl could have gone so wrong

Another beautiful figure! I can't wait for her. The only problem with her is that it makes me more disappointed in how the Sorceress' wings turned out.

Great Review, thank you!
I also have to thank you for confirming my theory that the height issue isn΄t a thing with Angella but Glimmer, she is "to" tall.
And i looked it up, yes sometimes Glimmer has been shown as smaller as Angella but at other times they are the same height in the same episode. here two examples from the episode "Micah of Brightmoon" :

Another great review! I'm looking forward to getting Queen Angella soon and it looks like she turned out great. I don't mind that Glimmer is taller than her, though. Most kids end up being taller than their parents. The way I see it in MOTUC, Glimmer's amazonian appearance helped her stand out and become the leader of the Great Rebellion.
If anything, I'm only slightly bothered that Glimmer turned out taller than She-Ra but it's not really a big deal. I like seeing these minor variations in height rather than all the girls being the same size.

Scott's explanation makes sense and I see no reason to question it honestly.
Great review Dan, shame about the skirt hindering the seated position just a bit but otherwise a solid figure.
