Prince Adam and Cringer Cartoon Collection Box Art Tease Flutterina

The Cartoon Collection box art is like playing a game of I Spy! We love a good tease (get your mind out of the gutter) but thanks to one of Toy Habits Crew member Danny Phillips’ keen eye and love of the Princess of Power, he’s spotted a Flutternia tease in butterfly form on Prince Adam and Cringer’s Cartoon Collection box art! We’ve known for a while that She-Ra and Bow are coming to the Cartoon collection plus Imp being teased for the second time, is further proof that Mattel is gearing up to drop some PoP figures on Collector’s for the 40th Anniversary. We are also beginning to think that there is more than meets the eye with the entire scene as the surroundings have some tie-ins with the Whispering Woods! Was that intentional? Does this mean that Mattel has a grander Princess of Power plan in the works? Only time will tell but the tease of Flutterina is quite interesting!

Whispering Woods

It seems like Mattel will be making a signififant investment in the Princess of Power, which is great news for collector’s! The scene where Prince Adam is taking a siesta using Cringer as his pillow, bears some striking similarity to the Whispering Woods, which is featured in the She-Ra and Prince of Power Filmation series. The Whispering Woods is the base of operations for the Great Rebellion on Etheria. It is a vast enchanted forest, bordered by the Kingdom of Bright Moon to the south, Mystacor to the west, Crimson Waste to the north-west, and the Singing River to the north-east. The forest has been concealed from Hordak and The Horde by an enchantment. The enchantment was put in place by the First Ones. Most of the members of the Rebellion live within the forest. Madame Razz’ home and the Twigget village. The majority of the flora in the forest appears to be pink bushes and purple trees. The enchantment placed on the woods allows the trees to move as if alive, a trick used in misdirecting any unwanted trespassers.

Flutterina Tease

Without the hi-rez images of Prince Adam and Cringer’s box art, the butterfly floating above Prince Adam’s head would have just looked like a part of the scene. The markings look exactly like Flutterina’s wings as she is in butterfly form, which was shown in the She-Ra and Princess of Power episode, A Lesson In Love.

Flutterina Filmation PoP

Flutterina’s origin story begins with the ‘Out of the Cocoon’ Filmation PoP cartoon episode. According to the Wiki Grayskull, “Flutterina is a member of the Great Rebellion. Before becoming a freedom fighter, she was a poor servant girl known as ‘Small One’, working at Castle Condore in the Sand Valley on Etheria. After She-Ra brought her to the Crystal Castle, the girl previously known only as Small One was transformed into Flutterina via a magical cocoon.”

In episode, A Lesson In Love, you can see a butterfly with markings similar to Flutterina flying through and, suddenly, a bright flash consumes the screen!

Out of the flash emerges Flutterina so there is a president to see her in her butterfly form.

Flutterina Trademark Usage

In a shocking twist of events, friend of Toy Habits @silverkayyy (also cohost of the Geek The F Out YouTube Channel) and Toy Habits Crew member Danny Phillips have made a shocking revelation. The Motherboard Masterverse Mattel Creations box has been hiding a list of what we think are future Masters of the Universe figures and vehicles. This list also could very well be a mix of lines from Masterverse and MOTU Origins and it’s crazy to think that these names are printed on the underside of the Motherboard Masterverse box. Flutternia was a name that was printed on this box.

Flutterina Vintage PoP Figure

Flutterina was released in 1985 as part of the Princess of PowerWave 2 figure assortment. Her card description said, “Beautiful lookout flies with fluttering wings!”

Flutterina MOTU Classics Figure

Flutterina is a member of the Great Rebellion. Before becoming a freedom fighter, she was a poor servant girl known as ‘Small One’, working at Castle Condore in the Sand Valley on Etheria. After She-Ra brought her to the Crystal Castle, the girl previously known only as Small One was transformed into Flutterina via a magical cocoon. She could hover and fly, and possessed large, beautiful butterfly wings that were powerful enough to disperse enemies when she beat them at full power. In dire straits, she could transform her entire body into a butterfly to escape the Evil Horde; she could also control butterflies of all kinds, using them as messengers and spies. Flutternia was made into a figure with rooted hair for the vintage She-Ra and the Princess of Power line and she was also created as a figure for the Masters of the Universe Classics line.
