This is probably old news, but ever since I bought Battleground Teela recently it's been bugging me. Why is Teela now Blonde after being a redhead for 20-odd years? Did she pay a visit to Fabularr, Eternian Hair Stylist? I've even seen the odd piece of art where she's portrayed as a brunette. What gives? I thought she was just fine as a redhead. *shrugs*

As mentioned, Teela was originally a blonde when the line first began. She appeared blonde in various early media before her figure was finalized and released months later (just like how Mer-Man lost his cardback head). It's fan conjecture, but it's believed that Teela's hair was changed from blonde to red to make her Cobra armor work with her ponytail when her figure eventually came out.
Filmation started airing soon after her figure was released and featured her as a redhead. Soon all of the new fans were unaware that Teela was ever a blonde, just like they didn't know about He-Man being a barbarian and other Pre-Filmation ideas.

It was just an Apple Barrel paint from Walmart. I can't recall the color as it's been a few years since I did it. I just picked a dark red that I thought would look good. It's a little lighter than the regular Teela's hair color, but I like it.

It is an acrylic, but you can definitely dry brush with it. I haven't had any scraping problems. A little rub at the tips of her hair where she's fallen over, but that's it. It's dry to the touch and not tacky. I didn't seal it either.
