1850. Dejah Thoris


Dejah Thoris (Tarzan: The Epic Adventures/Trendmasters)
The only female in a very extensive line of toys. Probably too extensive. She's John Carter's wife and a Princess of Helium. According to Trendmasters she's a "master of the deadly arts of war!" How unexpected. That's a Dejah view ;-) on the left. Like most female mistresses of war, this princess wears hardly anything to battle. But what a great tan.
Seriously, though. Trendmasters could have cut the total number of figures (nearly twenty) and variations and done much better by collectors and Burrough's fans. And where's the posability in these toys? Dejah has one point of articulation, her right arm swivels a wee bit at the shoulder. Unacceptable!
