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 staff.
The Rotoplast Teela features warm-tan skin tones, nipples in the breast mold, no texture in the center-torso leaf, reddish bronze highlights, light brown hair and boots, and opaque brownish-red accessories.
The figure is unmarked, except for 2-digit markings on the elbows (6L, 5R). The armor is marked 5045-2269 2 (located on the center back), and the interior helmet section has notches to better fit the figure's head. The shield is marked 5045-2249 2. The staff is marked 2. The accessories use the same mold (same parts numbers and batch number) as the Leo India Teela.
The breast mold is very particular in that it has nipples. The only other Teela with nipples is one of the Leo India variants. This mold was believed to have been altered to remove the nipples for the Taiwan Teela. It's very curious that the original mold somehow made it to Venezuela and India.
There’s a rare version of the Rotoplast Teela that has reddish-pink boots.
