I enjoyed the Eternals Movie enough. I like some of the characters there and Thena was definitely one of them.
The Eternals have a pretty wide selection of merchandise--in all areas of fandom and collecting. But just speaking POP alone, there are standard versions, and then there are also store exclusives. This one is a Walmart exclusive. I'm pretty sure that Thena isn't the only one that has variants. I prefer this one over the regular one which is why I have her!
Probably won't be going after EVERY single Eternals POP. Though some have caught my attention (more on that).
Eternals the movie was a lot of things. It was divisive for one thing--where do I stand between the dislike, like, hate, and love? In between, honestly. I like the designs and I do like Angelina Jolie's version of Thena. I also adore her outfit and Thena had great moments. With that said, this POP version of her is quite nice. A lot of the details in Thena's outfit are present even in Stylized form. I also like the transparent plastic used for her weapons--something I thought was always neat with Thena too with her ability to manifest any kind of melee weapons. The pose compliments the weapons chosen for this POP and it's fitting.
Thena's color scheme is quite interesting since it comprises of bronze/gold armor with a very mute, flesh-colored cloth. Her weapons also glow in a golden hue and Angelina's skin tone almost fades in with the color scheme--and not to mention her hair. Funko did a fine job ensuring that all the muted colors matched together in POP form. The plastic chosen and the paint execution complement and replicate the #MCU version of Thena. I have no complaints. I also like gold eyes rather than going with black.
All in all, she's not a bad POP. She's got some details where needed and a pretty standard but fitting pose. I won't say that Thena is a must--heck with what Eternals means in the grand scheme of the MCU lineups and favorable reception, I think this is an easy pass for people. For me, I like the character and the movie enough to justify owning a POP of her. I'm happy.
Until Next Time!
