Series: Masters of the Universe Classics
Real Name: Evelyn Powers
Title: Evil Warrior Goddess
Year: 2010
Raised alone by her father in the ruins of Zalesia, Evelyn left her home in a fit of teenage rebellion. Taking the name Evil-Lyn, she travelled Eternia learning from many of its great masters the ways of magic and the dark arts. While searching for new ways to increase her power, she met and fell in love with an ambitious alchemist named Keldor, and agreed to join his cause. After Keldor was transformed into Skeletor, he lost all emotional attachments to Evil-Lyn, and she began to scheme against him. In a series of miscalculations, she helped release both King Hssss and Hordak from their inter-dimensional prisons. Evil-Lyn uses her crystal ball to foresee the evil future!
Review: It was a bit of a trend in the 1980s that the most competent henchman of the evil boss was a woman. Vanessa Warfield for V.E.N.O.M., the Baroness for Cobra, Pythonia für Tex Hex, and of course Evil-Lyn for Skeletor. The Classics version of the infamous evil sorceress is based on her vintage toy, meaning she gets yellow skin. Not sure where that came from, to be honest, but apart from a few early comic books and promotional artwork, Evil-Lyn was usually portrayed with white skin.
Skin tone aside, this is a nice figure with the usual standard of articulation for the Classics line and, like it was in the vintage days, the body is largely that of Teela, just with different colors and a new head. Evil-Lyn comes with two different magical staffs (the one with the orb being the one from the cartoon), a dagger, and also comes with Screech, the evil version of the heroic falcon Zoar. Now for some reason I completely forgot to take pictures of Screech, no idea why. He is probably in some box or other. Anyway, Evil-Lyn is a great new interpretation of the vintage figure, though I must admit I prefer the later versions of the figure that more closely adhere to her appearance in the cartoon.
