As a Filmation fan, I was disappointed that Evil-Lyn didn't make one appearance in the She-Ra cartoon, so she could either battle Shadow Weaver, or get to know Hordak. They cut Evil-Lyn out of that completely, don't know why as many of Skeletor's main allies were in the She-Ra cartoon. Linda Gary voiced all those characters (for the most part), and maybe she would have had too many, for one episode, not sure. :)
@@spectorcreative1872 I've always wanted to ask Lou Sheimer about that, but never met him to ask. Too late now, but maybe Erika Sheimer would have some input. :)
Surprised the name “Evelyn Powers” was never used as an alias for Evil-Lyn or there being a story where Skeletor just has enough of her betrayal and deal with her himself.
Maaannn, 200X Evil-Lyn had the best Evil-Lyn designs and color palette! My favorite of the entire show!! So, though I understand why they went this route with the first roll out and I'm glad to have gotten her 200X colors on the repaint (along with her Filmation cape), my excitement for a 200X MOTUC figure would have been through the roof!!!
Hi Scott! First and foremost let give you my congratulations on this series of videos. It's great to go back in time, and remember this awesome journey (even with all the DR screwups along the way 😅). I would like to ask if you can explain why the gauntlets have the longer side facing inward instead of being on the outside of the arms. I've been seeing all of this "director's series", and I don't remember this being pointed. I'm sorry if you already addressed this. Cheers and keep those videos coming.
Were the MOTUC Evil Lyn’s wrist gauntlets assembled in reverse? I was afraid mine was put together incorrectly but all the Classics versions I’m seeing look that way. But, other incarnations, including the vintage MOTU Evil Lyn, have them going the other way as far as the arching, top cuff part of her gauntlets are concerned.
That seems to make her elbows go backwards though. Sorry, I don’t mean to be a pain or anything. I just can’t make mine do that without some sort of anatomical compromise. 😃
This line reinvigorated my interest in this series so much that seeing the new Mattel versions is like blasphemy. How Mattle can think they can put out those stunted pieces of crap and take away the license from Super 7 is one of the weirdest notes on the fleck of crap I call earth in it's history.
I never realized Screech's name is spelled two different ways on the package. Man, that's hilarious. Count me in as one of the people a little bummed that we never got the 200X armor version. I don't think it would have had to have been a "200X version", it could have just bee the same figure with a different dress. But maybe that's what the 200X line would have been anyway? I'm sure you'll get to it. Anyway, you seemed a little less enthusiastic with this video. Hope you're not losing interest. I for one am entertained by each one.
I wish there was a 200x version of each character from the 200x cartoon 😍
Me four

Alas, that was before my time. But yeah and Evil Lyn vs. Shadow Weaver match would have been epic!

I love to learn this small details about the past and the present of the charatlcters and figures
Well glad you are enjoying! Tell your friends! ;-)
Awesome! So we were going to get a robotic Screeech (Screech?) in 2016..? Did I miss hear that?
Yes, that was in the plans I drew up, but the new team went in a different direction.

Stranger things have happened
Now I'm hoping there's a story somewhere that connects her to Mike Powers the Atomic Man...
they also did a skit on Robot Chicken about Evil Lyn/ Evelyn. It was hilarious!
Yup! I saw that one. Always brilliant

We did have plans for a full 200X 6" line. Check out the video on this channel!
Nifty video! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!

It was an early error and the gauntlets were made to be movable in later figures.

They could turn so you can put them in either direction

In some stories evil lyn transformed into screech aka sorceress style
More characters should turn into things. Just ask Prof Mcgonagall.
were you ever going to make the Enchantress? the owl headress evil magic user on the flying castle?
We had a list of A LOT of filmation characters, but alas when I left the new team was not interested
Trydor Esooniux Scope was the full name you gave Tri-Klops, I believe! Quite the name, if you ask me, haha.
It was based on his name from the Halprin Bible, T.E. Scope
@@spectorcreative1872 Indeed! And better than naming him "Trevor Eugene Scope". 😅
Why did we never get a full 200X Motuc sub-line during your time as brand manager?
It was planned for 2016 but the new team didn't do it. Here is the video:th-cam.com/video/QQcl2k6oRtI/w-d-xo.html
This is one character where I definitely prefer the reissue/200X colors.
Yeah it’s odd how the vintage colors tend to be less popular with her
Does she know a Dr Neo Cortex by any chance?
haha
"Huh, I thought your name was 'Evelyn'."
I love robot chicken too
“Sultra.” Then Evelyn Powers… vintage Mattel just couldn’t decide on this one!
Not in the least

Mission accomplished
Evil Jane, Evil Lane, Evil Vale
OH dear

Someone get vintage Mattel a proofreader
they should had more "EVIL" characters
Dr. Evil agrees
Im pretty sure evillyn is the reason i like creepy girls, morticia adams, elvira, etc.
I think you are correct. And I barely know you.
Evilynn is fine though.
Well yeah!
Although it would have been very cool to get the 3rd Evil Lyn, I'm very glad that we got the two that were released!
Me too. But I do also wish we had another crack at her
