A few <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/?p=22475\">Battle Armor Skeletors<\/a> to dig through, sure, but who else? <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/etmin3el1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/etmin3el1-214x300.jpg\" title=\"Evil-Lyn (shown actual size - click to embiggen)\" width=\"125\" height=\"168\" align=right><\/a>Surprisingly, one of the property's major villains!<\/p>\n<p>Evil-Lyn, the Evil Warrior Goddess, is the first female figure we've legitimatey gotten in either incarnation of this line: there was meant to be a She-Ra in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/?p=32900\">the cancelled series<\/a>, and the few samples that did get made were available as stolen factory samples, but Evil-Lyn is something you can legally buy. This is her classic costume, not the 2002 version: in other words, she's wearing two tones of blue and has yellow skin, instead of purples and gray. That leaves open a potential repaint later! She's armed with her magical staff, which can be held in either hand. Also, her size and proportions make her look like the old <i>Superhero Squad<\/i> toys from Hasbro.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/etmin3el2.jpg\" title=\"mini packaging\" width=\"180\" height=\"255\" class=\"alignleft\">Technically Evil-Lyn isn't the <b>only<\/b> female figure available. Once you open the little retro blister cards these figures are sold on, you'll find an insert advertising the other figures that are supposedly available (if the display hasn't been stripped by other fans before you find it, that is): the Battle Armor Skeletor we mentioned before, a He-Man to match him, a re-release of Stratos, and then \"Anti-Eternian\" (ie, all-black with red highlights) versions of Ram-Man and Teela. Teela! An entirely new mold, whose normal colors will have to wait for a repaint, apparently. Here's hoping we actually get to Series 4 at some point, so she can be released.<\/p>\n<div class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Posts\"><H5>&lt;i&gt;And now, some more OAFEry:&lt;\/i&gt;<\/H5><ul class=\"entry-meta\"><li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Who is Preternia Disguise He-Man?\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2010\/07\/who-is-preternia-disguise-he-man\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Who is Preternia Disguise He-Man?<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Lou Scheimer: Creating The Filmation Generation\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2012\/11\/lou-scheimer-creating-the-filmation-generation\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Lou Scheimer: Creating The Filmation Generation<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Flippin' through Previews - January '14\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2014\/01\/flippin-through-previews-january-14\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Flippin' through Previews - January '14<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Blue with evil\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2002\/11\/blue-with-evil\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Blue with evil<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Watch the Masters of the Universe movie for free\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2015\/10\/watch-the-masters-of-the-universe-movie-for-free\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Watch the Masters of the Universe movie for free<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&lt;i&gt;And now, some more OAFEry:&lt;\/i&gt;On the subject of Mattel and its subscriptions That'll really piss off the HOA!
