Huge thanks to Masterversal Toyhunter for pointing us in the direction of in-box images of the Masterverse Vintage Collection Teela, and I have to say this is exactly the kind of early peek that gets me genuinely excited as a collector because up until now we had only been working off official product shots of the figure itself, which are great, but there is always something special about finally seeing the packaging and how Mattel is framing a release visually. This Teela went up for preorder during the Walmart Collector Con October 2025 edition, and at the time it felt like one of those drops that came out of nowhere given that the New Eternia version had just come out. Seeing the box art now really helps complete the picture, especially for those of us who care just as much about shelf presence as we do the figure inside, and it gives us a better sense of how this Vintage Collection release fits alongside the rest of the Masterverse lineup.
The back of the box immediately gives me that classic Masters of the Universe energy, leaning hard into a vintage presentation that feels pulled straight from the early days of the line. The layout balances illustrated action up top with clean, clearly framed figure callouts below, and the overall composition echoes the visual storytelling style long associated with Errol McCarthy’s work without trying to reinvent it. I like how it feels confident and familiar, using bold colors and straightforward character moments to set the tone, almost like it is reminding you what shelf presence looked like when MOTU first locked in its identity.
The artwork shows Teela mid-stride, leaning forward with her staff extended as she closes the distance, her white outfit, gold bracers, and tall boots rendered with clean lines and confident proportions. Her hair flows back under the snake headdress as the staff curves toward two approaching foes, with Beast Man getting ready for attack and Skeletor bracing himself in the distance, both clearly reacting to her advance. I like how her pose feels purposeful and controlled, using forward motion and body angle to sell the moment without clutter, keeping the focus squarely on her movement and the reach of that staff.
Here is the original artwork and this illustration offers another example of McCarthy’s distinctive approach to landscape design. In this scene, Teela discreetly observes Skeletor and Beast Man, contemplating their nefarious activities from a concealed vantage point. The copse of trees in the background is particularly notable for its thoughtful design, blending stylized natural elements with the overarching tension of the moment. McCarthy’s clever arrangement of these trees adds depth and atmosphere to the composition, while subtly framing the narrative conflict between the characters.
Official Images and Walmart Preorder
Walmart is pulling back the curtain a little more for their upcoming October 2025 Walmart Collector Con, and I couldn’t be more excited to share what’s surfacing! Hot on the heels of today’s discovery of the 200x MOTU Origins Samurai He-Man listing, another gem has appeared on Walmart’s preview page in the form a Masterverse Vintage Collection Teela listing! While we don’t yet know what this figure will look like, just the listing alone is enough to get us excited, especially since the Vintage Collection branding suggests we’re in for something really special that pays homage to the classic roots of Masters of the Universe. And if that wasn’t enough to get the anticipation flowing, we can look forward to some killer packaging because Nate Baertsch is expected to work his incredible magic once again, channeling the legendary style of Errol McCarthy’s original MOTU illustrations for the box back art. With this combo of vintage inspiration and modern Masterverse detail, Walmart Collector Con October 2025 is shaping up to be one heck of a showcase although we are not sure if these listings were meant for prying eyes!
