Masters of the Universe – Teela 1/5 Scale Legends Maquette

Tweeterhead Presents the Teela “Legends” 1:5 Scale Maquette! This is the third release in the “Legends” line produced by Tweeterhead, and what a way to keep the MOTU hype train going than with one of the baddest-ass Heroic Warriors, Teela!

The Teela Maquette measures close to 18.5” tall when fully assembled – figure and base. This fully-sculpted polyresin statue comes equipped with Teela’s classic sword and shield as well as not one, but two different portraits – Modern (with pony tail) and Classic (updo).

Teela comes on a Castle Grayskull themed base, descending down a staircase into the castle’s dungeon towards the “Dwell of Souls”… On the back of the base lurks a monstrous surprise that’s a fun nod to the classic Castle Grayskull playset.

The “Exclusive Edition” comes with an additional right arm holding her iconic “Staff of Ka” along with everything else advertised. With this exclusive, there are 4 different ways you can display your Teela Maquette!

Both versions of the Teela Maquette will retail for $475 USD, and are ready for Pre-Order on Thursday April 8th at 12:00pm PDT. If you purchase through Tweeterhead and pay in full, you receive $25 off.

IMPORTANT PRESALE UPDATE: Teela will be up for sale at 9AM Pacific/Noon Eastern on Thursday 4/8!

Tweeterhead will be shipping to the US, Canada, Germany and the UK. Everyone else will be redirected to our friends at Sideshow.

The Exclusive Edition Size will be set to 600, Standard Edition Size TBD.

    Wait. "Both versions of the Teela Maquette will retail for $475 USD"? Wouldn't the people that bought the regular version feel cheated paying the same price for 1 less arm/staff?

    That's a peculiar way to look at a company offering an exclusive version at no mark up. Something they've been doing for years, along with numerous other companies who offer their own exclusive versions.

    Don't get me wrong, I think the statue is GREAT. I guess I should say I'd expect them to mark up the one with the extra arm/staff. It's great that they didn't.

    I'm trying to figure out why you would expect them to mark up for the exclusive version. Nearly all of their statue releases come in standard and exclusive versions, and I have always noted (to the best of my knowledge) that it's the same price for either version. It's something their customers are accustomed to.

    Very cool. Compliments to the sculptor. The staff is a particularly nice touch.

    Sideshow pieces almost always have the same price for the EX as well. The main reason why there is an EX that is at the same price is to make the people buy directly from the manufacturer. This way, all the money goes to them, so it acts as an incentive for the customer.

    I have their 1/6 scale Batman Returns Catwoman & it's still one of the most perfect female sculpts in my collection. Don't collect 1/5 normally, buuut....

    That is a thing of beauty!!! Love the creature from the Grayskull dungeon sticker making a cameo!

    It's like a pin-up model in a really nice cosplay outfit. Beautiful, but the more I think about, the less appealing it is.

    That's the element that pushed me into "must have" territory.
