My first He-Man and Masters of the Universe restoration repair! I found this MOTU vintage She-Ra doll on eBay after Tig suggested, in a comment, that I give the line a try. I wasn’t sure if I was just going to repaint her or do a little more — in the end, I decided to recreate the clothes (with some significant artistic license!). I used acrylic paints and I managed to find the perfect red organza and… I have enough to make myself a cape now 😛 I also did a quick tiara that has little to do with the original one but matches the belt and is shiiiiinyyy.
