![]() If I could change or add anything I would have like to have seen a ‘spell casting’ hand and a sheath for the knife. Overall, I’m very pleased with the figure and she makes a great addition to the evil warrior side of the display. That crazy green eyeshadow really pops against the field of blue and yellow and draws your attention straight to that evil stare. The arched eyebrows and high cheekbones recall other classic villains like Maleficent and Faye Dunaway as Joan Crawford. It allows for the full range of motion from her articulation. The nice difference between this figure and Teela, though, is that Evil-Lyn’s skirt piece is very flexible. Sideshow is proud to present the stunning sorceress, Evil-Lyn, who joins Skeletor and He-Man in our new statue collection inspired by the popular 80's cartoon series, Masters of the Universe Skeletor could not hope for a more capable ally than the sinister and sultry Evil-Lyn -intelligent, fearless, and gifted with an incredible mastery of. The overall sculpt is a re-use of the Teela/Goddess body with a brand new headsculpt. The armor recalls the original Screeech figure from the Masters of the Universe line perfectly (well, my 20+ year old memory of it, anyway) and has a nice metallic paint application to highlight some of the details. First off, the perch gives a you a place to put the darn thing (It took a while to find a spot for Zoar and the Eagle form of Beast boy in the display). Screeech is a repaint of the Zoar/Jayna/Beast Boy eagle, but I feel like his value is increased immensely by the inclusion of the perch and the detailed armor. ![]() I like the wand for classic toy sake – plus it stands out a little better than the staff in a line littered with staves.Īs a bonus, the good folks at Mattel have included the ‘Evil Fighting Falcon’, Screeech and a perch for the bird. There is very little slop and there are some nice paint flourishes (metallic blue armor details and dark yellow airbrushing for the skintone) that add some interest to what can be a very two tone look.Įvil-Lyn comes with her magic orb which you can make into a wand or a staff by way of two swappable handle pieces and a knife. The good folks here at Figure Realm try to give you accurate, unbiased, and most importantly, free information on action figures all day everyday But of course, reviews and an occasional rant can only go so far, that s why we encourage you to contribute. The paint on this figure is nice and sharp. The color scheme is inexplicably appealing to me, so much so that I bought the 200x staction figure of Evil-Lyn even though I had hardly any of the 200x figures. ![]() The bright yellow and blue are Evil-Lyn to me. I love that they kept the original toy colors rather than the filmation or MYP series color schemes. The final figure has lived up to my expectations completely. I was also very impressed with the prototype when they finally showed her off in Toyfare magazine. Evil-Lyn, though, was always Skeletor’s subservient.Evil-Lyn was one of my favorite He-Man figures as a kid, so I was looking forward to her debut in Masters of the Universe Classics. She is vastly more intelligent than Skeletor's other minions, and while she admits that she is. “And Teela, you know, fought side-by-side with He-Man definitely more of his equal. Evil-Lyn is a witch who aids Skeletor as his second-in-command with her powers of darkness. “You’re talking about two women who have been in the shadows of very powerful male characters since the inception of the franchise,” Smith continued. here's showrunner Kevin Smith to answer all your biggest questions about that ending (and tease what comes next) /LamKNdKmeH Ok, so you've watched MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE: REVELATION. Smith teased at Evil-Lyn’s expanded role during a recent Netflix-hosted Q&A session in response to being asked, “Is Evil-Lyn actually evil?”, asserting that “Evil-Lyn, absolutely one of my favorite characters, not just because Lena Headey gives, what I feel, is like an award-worthy performance, bringing this character to life, but also because we mirror Teela’s journey with Evil-Lyn’s journey as well.” MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE: REVELATION (L to R) KEVIN MICHAEL RICHARDSON as BEAST MAN, TIFFANY SMITH as ANDRA, CHRIS WOOD as PRINCE ADAM, SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR as TEELA and LENA HEADEY as EVIL-LYN in episode 105 of MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE: REVELATION Cr.

To be clear, the Hydro Flask is perfectly serviceable for short hikes, but ounces add up quickly when covering longer distances. In fact, the bottle is rated to keep drinks hot for 12 hours and cold for a whopping 24 hours, and we’ve had ice cubes live a full day in our Hydro Flask without melting.Īll that said, the stout build and impressive insulating performance do come with a weight penalty, and we prefer a lighter plastic bottle like the Nalgene Wide Mouth below when venturing out on the trail. Its most impressive feature-and the reason it costs a pricey $40-is the insulated double-wall build that keeps your water cold and coffee hot. Since its start in 2009, Hydro Flask has established itself as a class leader in insulated water bottles.

Shadow and Bone follows the story of Alina Starkov ( Jessie Mei Li ), an orphan who finds herself the unlikely savior of her war torn nation, Ravka.

With upper-trim level hybrids nudging north of £40,000, this isn't one of this chart's better-value entrants - but it does show that Peugeot can come up with desirable alternative cars again, when it puts its mind to it. But body control is good and handling fluency quite impressive in both cases. At times, the petrol-electric powertrain struggles through a few clunky drivability quirks too. The simpler and lighter petrol rides and handles better, the heavier hybrid feeling heavier in its ride gait and firmer at low speeds. Peugeot offers 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol and 1.6-litre plug-in hybrid powertrains as part of a somewhat truncated engine range. Boot space exceeds 500 litres, and adults should be almost as comfortable in the second row as up front. Interior roominess is impressive here, in a cabin that evidences all of the progress than Peugeot has made over the last decade in giving its cars greater premium appeal. ![]() It's longer and lower than some cars in this list but still distinctly a crossover in its stance. With a raised ride height but an arcing roofline and elongated hatchback tail, this car clearly prioritises style in a way very different than the original 3008 of 15 years ago. Now the firm's using the same platform as the 308 hatchback and 3008 SUV to offer something different again: the 408. The irony here is that, with the original Peugeot 3008, the company launched quite a bold and alternative crossover hatchback way ahead of its time back in 2008 (which was even available in diesel-hybrid form), only to replace it with a much boxier and more conventional compact SUV some years later. Just as it was a little slow in joining the compact SUV set, so Peugeot is slightly behind the curve in joining today's crossover market. In other markets, Cupra even went as far as shoehorning Audi's thumping five-cylinder RS engine into the Formentor VZ5, although that was never offered for UK sale.īeing well priced in relation to premium-brand rivals and with an inviting, rich and well-executed interior (the VW Group's oft-criticised infotainment system notwithstanding), the Formentor sits pretty at the top our list of crossovers hatchbacks. The engine line-up is quite broad, taking in smaller and more economical petrols, a couple of plug-in hybrids and a choice of 2.0-litre turbo petrols, one of which uses the same four-wheel drive system and engine as the new Volkswagen Golf R. The Formentor wasn't the first product of the new Cupra operation (that was the 306bhp Cupra Ateca, introduced in 2019), but it is by far the most convincing, being rakishly handsome, surprisingly spacious, rounded, refined and pleasant to drive, appealingly versatile and enduringly alternative. Cupra Formentorįor years, Cupra was the sporting division of Seat, much like R is to Volkswagen, but today it stands as an independent brand, with unique model designs and an altogether more athletic calibre than that of the old mothership. All are roughly C-segment-sized, however (we rank supermini-based compact crossovers here) and while few here need cost much more than £30,000, some can be snapped up for even less. Within this list, then, you will find responsible economy-biased options with hybrid powertrains but also performance-tuned derivatives and cars explicitly intended for off-road use. What they do, of course, varies a little depending on precisely how they're defined.
