Teela

SUMMARY:

Teela, the “warrior goddess,” was produced in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Mexico (Aurimat), Argentina (Top Toys), Venezuela (Rotoplast), Brazil (Estrela), Spain, and India (Leo). Teela has a spring-loaded waist that swings back with a power punch, a snake harness, a shield, and a snake staff.

The Aurimat Teela is characterized by dark gold armor tones, maroon hair and boots, and pale skin tones. The figure, released in the first year of the Los Amos del Universo production (1984), is one of the few Aurimat figures that's completely unmarked. The boots are a dark maroon that matches the hair, and the lips a rose pink.

The weapons are very particular because they are the same mold as the earliest Taiwan promotional Teela with green-eyed snake armor. You can see this in the short staff and the shield, which is slightly distorted (rather than perfectly circular). They are opaque, somewhat rigid, and sink in water, unlike regular Taiwan Teela accessories that float.
