FEMALE ACTION FIGURE (LEELA) STORY LINE

Leela is Teela’s (Masters of the Universe) twin sister. They were separated at birth to protect them. Leela is the most powerful woman in the universe and is the protector of all that is good. She is beautiful inside and out, and she is very strong inside and out. She has magical powers and she uses them to help her protect her many friends.

Her staff is a magic wand. She can use it to sprinkle glitter dust on her enemies to freeze them. Slither the snake is her friend. He moves up and down on her staff to warn her of danger. Leela has a jeweled helmet to protect her in battle, and gold bracelets, one of which is a communicator so she can talk to friends or warriors who might be far away.

Some prelim art from the Power of Grayskull documentary, by Justine Dantzer. The text above is from an internal Mattel document featured in the same segment, though unfortunately only the top 40% or so of the page. This first pass was based on Mattel’s initial direction, to make a character tied to Teela specifically in order to capitalize on her popularity as they created a bridging flanker brand between Barbie & MOTU.

As she said in PoG, “So when those drawings went through, got all the approvals, and the commitment for money, they came to me and they said, ‘Now do what you want. We trust what you’ve done, now do more. Do what you want, and she doesn’t have to look like Teela anymore.’” That second pass at the concept, incorporating her own original character & iconography, changed very little before becoming She-Ra.

They really cannot come up with a new backstory for him that isn't a massive downgrade from his original minicomic appearance where he takes the power of Grayskull after breaking out of jail. I don't even know why they *try* to reinvent that.

Easy second place in terms of Trap Jaw lore goes to Filmation, giving him a power-up to He-Man's level by eating eternium (probably a nod to that minicomic?), he builds a factory that rapidly produces two headed snake robots, he gets his very own villain lair(!!) in the desert where he manufactures and repairs spider robots, and has ties to another evil master in Shokoti - and all the thought 200x and classics can spare about him is "so he's a cyborg... what if Skeletor caused that?" which is pretty frustrating considering NONE of the cool stuff I mention about him in this post is about him being a cyborg OR a minion of Skeletor!

Okay, so Infinita is a dimension. Got it. And Keldor was recruiting evil warriors during the start of the Great Unrest. I'm sure that won't be contradicted later.

Trap Jaw was a transdimensional cyborg in the original minicomics, and in the UK World Annuals he was in space jail (though he broke himself out, tyvm).

In the MYP cartoon, he was Kronis during the Great Unrest. In the MVCreations comics, he got sassy and was kicked out of Snake Mountain, assembled an army, assaulted SM, and got his ass kicked by Skeletor, as above.

Honestly aside from the transdimensional shit it's just 200X content again. Boring.

Kronis might be an allusion to Cronos? He liked eatin' folk. And the MYP show looooved its Latinate.

Thank you so much!! Maybe he planned a similar feature with various transparent wizard parts? Such a fun concept!!

Look at this crazy unused concept art for a wizard character I found on 'The Art of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe' page 55. Is he in the middle of turning invisible? Does he have an invisibility cloak that only conceals things that it's level with? What was the action feature even planned to be?

Anyway my headcanon so far is that this is Zagraz the comet keeper in his full wizard getup. If you have any theories/info on this guy let me know! 🧙‍♂️
