If I had a time machine, I wouldn't use it for any high, noble reasons, like preventing the Titanic from sinking, or making sure certain bullets don't miss; no, I'd be super selfish, telling my past self which figures to buy immediately, and which ones to wait on. Because this Enchantress is 99.44% the same as the existing one, and buying that old figure saddled me with a Build-A-Figure part I never wanted, while buying this one saddles me with a Build-A-Figure part I do want!
Amora, the Enchantress, wields arcane Asgardian magic
alongside occasional paramour, the Executioner, in her schemes to ensorcell the Mighty Thor.
"Ensorcell"? Somebody broke out their thesaurus for this one! What a great word choice. Because comicbooks are always super progressive and understanding of outside perspectives, Amora got the nickname "Enchantress" because she would seduce other Asgaardian mages in order to learn/steal their magic. Stay classy, Silver Age writers! Since there is no "Amora" in actual Norse myth, Marvel treats her like she's a version of some other god whenever "the most beautiful one around" needs to be slotted into any particular story. Who was promised to a frost giant if he built Asgaard's wall in a year? Not Freya, Amora. Who's the only one who can convince Yggdrasil to give up its apples of immortality? Not Idun, Amora. There's some kind of commentary in there about how pretty girls are treated as interchangeable outside of their ability to be pretty, but I'm not smart enough to adequately articulate it.
Like we said, most of this figure is the same as the existing one. "Ones": she was not only released in that Doctor Strange movie series, she'd been in an SDCC box set earlier that year,
and the only difference between them was paint. This one has the same feet, same legs, same skirt, same chest, even the same smirking face and winged headdress. Her arms now get a banded metal texture, which is an upgrade over just painting the old ones green, and her abdomen has raised seams to match the ones on her top. The major difference, though, is the hair: it's bigger and fuller, a massive '90s-sized mane that's wider than her shoulders and comes down below her belt. Her clothes are dark green, with a matching metallic shade on her arms and headdress, then a yellower metallic green her her belt and the nine circles on each leg. Painting techniques have advanced since the last toy was released a decade ago, so today she has finer eye makeup, and her irises get painted green, instead of just being black dots.
Instead of just using the same circular energy flares as before, she gets a new one, a waving aura of energy that's lighter in the center than around the edges. Considering how little new work went into the figure itself, getting a new accessory is the least they could do. She has gesturing hands for casting her magic, or plain fists for when she needs to resort to physical force - remember, she's an still Asagaardian, so even if she's "weak" by their standards, she's still about as strong as She-Hulk.
And of course, there's the Executioner BAF part. Just like with the Doctor Strange Dormammu BAF, she gets the torso. Though this time it includes the pelvis in addition to the chest.
The only saving grace for this figure is that it's been a decade since the last one was released. The new hair is nice, the paint is undeniably improved, but frankly it's surprising they didn't give her smoother "Mike Zeck" hair and just do this as one of the Secret Wars releases.
