NOSFERATU

 

One of the things i remember about the pandemic times was my hype with the Thundercats thanks to the Super 7 Ultimate action figures series, a dream come true after soo many years. Sadly, after an incredible first series (actually made by Hasbro), series 2 was a HUGE dissapointing for me and i decided to let it go and stop collecting Thundercats. Over the years i been looking at Super 7 and i been surprised to see how many complains exists for soo long thanks to the bad quality of theyr figures, the high price and some really shady actions from them - like only show computer renders of the figures unti the actual figures comes out (looking totally different).

I was pretty close to fall in theyr trap with the Silverhawks too, another of my childhood dreams, but i avoided that bullet long enough to see them re-release the figures all in silver chrome months after the first release and after they insisted they didnt had the technology to produce chrome figures. Yes they are extremelly sneaky to secure pre-orders even if they have to lie about it and i have other tells i been learning from them but i finally got another of theyr figures, i coud not resist.

Its pretty evident the remake of Nosferatu is near as wella s the 100th anniversary of the origina with soo many toys coming out this year about this character: Funkos, Mezco, NECA, Caustic Plastic and of course, Super 7 also did his version that comes in a super slick and beautifull box, perfectly fitting for a "Ultimate" figure.

This Count Orlok is in scale with standar action figures soo he fits with anything NECA or McFarlane or Storm Collectibles and can stand on his own perfectly as long as his legs are in straight position. He is articulated on the neck, shoulders, biceps, elbows, wrists, waist, legs, knees and ankles and to my susprise, all articulations works really really good (ulike the Thundercat´s). The neck is limited of course by his jacket but the rest have a very huge range of movement, even the legs.

Tough his jacket is made of fost plastic and let the legs move around there is a limit and eventually turns the legs to  a straigth position but i guess that is an inevitable restrain of the character design. While the biceps rotate pretty nicelly i am not sure i like the look of the articulation tough i am very happy with how hidden are the knes articulation and how they follow his pants shape.

The sculpt is really good; the shape of his jaw, the long nose and ears, the wrinkles around his eyes and forehead, the iconic details of this monster traslate here veryy nicelly. His body shape is correct and his jacket have a rugged texture that makes it feel like rubber while his pants have a more soft and plain texture and his shoes are pretty shiny.

For some reason tough, Super 7 decided to release him in black and white. I am not against it tough since all the figures i have of Count Orlok are colored, soo this is a nice variation for the display collection soo theres not much color here since each piece is cast on the main color....or main black, since everything is back here.

His jacket have ligther black, the pants are cast in darker black and the shoes are much more darker black while the hands and head are cast in grey plastic. The ligth grey of the skin enhance the soft trasnparency of the material soo it shynes a little bit soo the color is mostly kept for face details.

The very white eyes and fangs stand out with the the grey wrinkles around them as well as the dark eye brows. There is also a grey wash all around soo the skin dosnt looks perfectly clean and have a natural look (as natural as this monster can be) tough the hands are clean grey and have black knukles. Why the black knuckles? I dont know tough they really made his white finger nails stand out a lot.

On the accesorys side he is pretty ligth tough. He have 4 pairs of hands: closed fist, holding hands, open hands and claw shaped hands. They can be swaped pretty easy tough the finger nails are pretty soft and they were bend inside the blister but is not something that can be fixed.

Special mention to the claw hands I LOVE THEM!!! The fingers have this bony sculpt that makes them looks like spider legs and also the points of the claws are black soo they have a very poisonous look. This inuman hands are a big part of the character look and gives him a huge expression bost.

Then theres two extra heads that are also very easy to changue despite the jacket collar. One of the heads is called "hypnotic head" in the Super 7 site but i literally cant see any difference with the bae normal head. The sculpt is exactly the same except the color is darker and actually the paint is much more slopy and the eyebrows and eyes are badly painted.

The second extra head tough is very different since he have a more pacific and focused look on his eyes and his mouth is closed, hidding his fangs. Also he have his turkish hat on, his iconic tubeteika nicelly sculpted and with a soft black color and shiny texture. This look of him is essential.

He also comes with an item that has been on all Count Orlok figure soo far: the keys of his castle. This time around instead of a chaine they allmcome together with a metalic rings tough the keys all looks the same and are painted in silver. They fit perfectly on any of the holding hands and the long finger nails keep them in place.

Lastly he have a rat. Only a single rat and it kinda looks more like a pet rat than a pest. The rat sculpt is very cute and basic tough and the paint follows the same route, with his body only having a single black color and his tail, feet and ears in soft greay with no wash or any details to make it looks more natural. It kind of looks cartony at certain degree but i guess it fits the figure, i just wish they added more rats.

Overall this is not a bad figure at all, while the accesorys are pretty basic and the paint could be better, the scult is really good and the articulations works wonderfully. Problem here is NECA´s version is much better and also half the price of this and that proofs wath i always suspected: most of the price of the Super 7 figure is mostly for the pretty box they come in.

Later this year they will release a colored version of this same Nosferatu tough i dont trust Super 7 coloring skills and i got the feeling it will looks cheaper that this version but i am happy with this black and white look.

TYGRA

 

And the long wait is reaching its end, finally Super 7 is delivering all those Thundercats we pre-order before the pandemic, the curse over the Thundercats was lifted??? Maybe...in part, because Mumm-Ra The Ever-Living was really worth the wait, the jewel of the crown. But wath about the rest?? Tygra will answear that question since he has always being my favorite Thundercat and he took two years to arrive to his destiny.

Soo, aside of the super pretty box he comes in, Tygra is a little bit taller than Lion-O wich is totally fine since he is much older, soo theres no scale complaign. He can stand on his own perfectly and has no base and is articulated on the neck, shouldrs, biceps, elbows, wrists, torso, waist, legs, knes and ankles.

The articulations are TERRIBLE....yes thats odd, is really weird how fully articulated he is and still how he is much more an statue than even Mumm-Ra. The super ugly and intrusive torso joint have a big range ov movement as well as the waist can rotate freely as well as the wrists but thats it....The shoulders barelly move since the hard plastic on his neck and chest restrict the joits pretty badlly and the same happend in the legs, he can make a split but he cant join his legs for some reason and the hip piece restrict them a lot.

Elbows, knes and ankles only move 30°....only 30°, soo they have the range of movement of a 90s toy or a Hot Toys figures with clothes. I am really dissapointed to see how a combination of hard material and structure pretty much makes almost all his articulations useless. Oh yhea and the head, it can rotate but it cant move up and down at all either thanks to his hair.

I dont get how Lion-O or Mumm-Ra are not this limited. Those two were original made by Mattel many years ago and Tygra is one of the first Super 7 exclusive figures, soo this are the limits of Super 7??

The sculpt is Ok i guess, the muscle anatomy is really good as well as his claws and bare feet. The head is a little too big i think but the face sculpt is ok...i think...i am not very sure, why? Because the sculpt is blocked by ugly paint.

The paint job is HORRIBLE!!! Most of the figure is cast on color plastic soo the paint is keep at minimum but is extremelly poor....they changed his outfit from dark blue to aqua blue to match it more with the original 80s toys and i am fine with that but the plastic is soo cheap...really really cheap...and shines a lot. All other figures have a mate color palette except Tygra, he is neon orange and yellow.

Why si he yellow??? The sections on his face, feet and claws have no hair and his skin is....Sipson yellow!!! His eyes looks soo clumsy painted and the line betwene the yellow and orange is soo fuzzy...actually a lot of the blue of his outfit is invading his orange chest and viceversa, same on the feet, the yellow is invading a lot of his outfit.....

They forgott to paint his mouth or even give him the dark shades and lights on the hair like Lion-o´s. He is also missing an elbow pad....missing a peice of his outfit entirelly......the toys from the 80s have the elbow pad, even the Bnadai toys from 10 years ago have the pad as well....

Accesorys are not better. He have an extra head with a fierce expressionbut while you can see Lion-o´s every single teeth, here the mouth is just a white sploch and his eyes are looking at two different directions....

He have two pairs of extra hands to hold items. TWO PAIRS!!! I mean, for twath reason i need two pairs of exactly the same sculpted hands?? Where is the closed fist????

Heads and hands can be exchanged pretty easy tough and his other accesory is his bolas weapon in closed stance: a golden rod with 3 red balls on top. This looks more like a candy than a weapon but the sculpt and paint are good soo nothing to complaing in here.

He also have the bolas open and looking like a whip flowing around with the 3 red balls in the end. This version is made with hard plastic soo it can keep in balance and helps a lot to give to the display all the dinamism the figure itself dosnt have.

And then he have a third version of his bolas weapon, this time with a blue lace conecting the golden rod with the 3 head end. The way the lace is tied with each end looks really bad and i first hated this accesory tough in photos dosnt looks that bad and helps to give to the weapon a relaxed stance and is easy to use. Also is helpfull when Tygra wraps it around his body to turn invisible.

And thats it...i was expecting a bolas weapon with a wire inside to give it the shape i wanted, i mean this is an "Ultimate" figure, but there wasnt anything more, no props from the serires either like the Omen book of Lion-O of Mumm-Ra´s gyroscope either.

Is this a bad looking figure? Is not, it looks nice and is easy to see who this character is, but he stands out a lot in a bad way when the other Thundercats are around. Also this is not a 55$ figure.....very little accesorys, useless articulations, an OK sculpt and really poor paint aplication, this is a Hasbro or Mattel mass market figure, something wirth 20$ at best.

This gives me a lot to think about it tough...i was excited to get the rest of the cats as well as the Silverhawks but after seen this dramatic quality fall i am not sure if i will forget all about Super 7 now. They figures are extremelly expensive, we have to demand a quality worth of that amount og money.

Then again, this a take it or leave it kind of deal...no other company will pruduce Thundercats figures soo this could be the last chance we see this characters at all. Pay for the characters themselves and expect any kind of quality? Or demand the best quality or nothing? Because theres nothing "Ultimate" in this unfortunetly figure.

MUMM-RA THE EVER-LIVING

 Once upon a time, many years ago, Super 7 launched theyr Ultimate Thundercats line with the re-release of old Hasbro figures: Lion-O, Panthro, Mumm-Ra snd JackalMan with the release date of serires 2 - the true brand new figures never released by Hasbro - a month later. That month went by, then a new year started, many new action figures serires from Super 7 went by as well, a pandemic later and in a totally different world than that of the original release, Super 7 FINALLY delivered serires 2 of the Ultimate Thundercats. Many of those who pre-ordered the figures didnt survive to have them in theyr hands...

Its no secret who had me hyped for soo many years from this serires tough: Mumm-Ra The Ever-Living soo of course he was the very first one i got with no hestitation. The Mumm-Ra from the first serires was beyond perfect, was trully spectacular despite its small frame soo it was evident wath to expect from his super powered version, that came in a really huge box, the biggest box of the entire series.

The Ever-Living is of course the biggest figures of the entire collection soo he towers over the rest of the characters and most action figures from NECA and other brands, tough he is still not as big as a lay Arts Kai. He can stand on his own perfectly despite his size tough i really wish Super 7 gives him a base to levitate.

He is articulated on the neck, shoulders, biceps, elbows, wrists, chest, waist, legs, knes and ankles, most of them are ball joints tough the few cut joints have a very good range of movement. I specially like the articulation on his feet since they cna move to the sides and help him balance perfectly, tough his legs articulations are kinda lose, and his shoulders ball joints are really stiff. Also, his head dress dosnt let him tilt his head up and down but thats to be expected.

All articulations are well hideen except the chest ones thats is incrediblly ugly and evident, just like Lion-o´s. This really puzzle me...this ugly gap on the half of his torso is tehre in propuse? To make him like "vintage"? I dont know, its almost like Super 7 try to make this figure looks similar to the Master of the Universe toys. Tough the range of movement is pretty high soo i cant complaing there.

Given this guy is almost nude, theres nothing that blocks his articualtions, since the wrapings and the skirt are made with very soft plastic, the only thing in the way os his head dress.

The sculpt is made by The Four Horsemen, soo is pretty spot on, with all the wrinkled and almost repitilian details on the skin on his face, huge eyes and inhuman shaped face since i dont remember no one saying Mumm-Ra was ever a human being. The hald smile looks very animalistic and the details on the snakes on his head dress is awesome, tough one of the snake horns is twisted since they are made with soft plastic.

His body have less details limiting the textire to his knes and elbows but the musculature and anatomy are perfect. Like i said, the bandages are made with a very soft plastic tugh they are a little too thick and dosnt have the aged texture the first Mumm-Ra had soo they looks kind aplastiquish....tough they are interconected with each other and with certain parts of Mumm-Ra soo they are fixed in theyr place.

Paint job is really good too, specially on the red tatto on his chest and the metalic paint on his leg armor and and nose piece. The eyebrows are painted in grey and the red eyes have a black line around them as well as around his lips, giving him a pretty refined and cool look tough aside of that there is no shadows or washes at all, his entire body is electric blue.

This is kind of simplistic, but given this is based on a cartoon, the clean look is understandable on his body and the red and black bandages on his head, but i wish they give some dark wash to the rest of the bandages on his body to makes them look a little more old and natural.

His wings/cape is made with real fabric and the material is of very high quality, with a black inside and red in the outide tough the stitches are pertty evident on the red side, they even aded some cuts here and there to make the cape looks ancient. With to holes on the sides and a big hole at the top center, the cap hangs from a big and ugly nail looking piece on Mumm-Ra´s neck (hidden under the head dress back side) and from the spikes on his wristsbands.

The cape is kinda anoying when posing and moving his arms tough thats to be expected, and it can be removed pretty easy. Also theres a whire in the sides and 3 inside wires soo the cape can be posed as well to flow with his movements. While the fabric is thick, this wire makes a big difference and gives a lot of dinamism to the figure.

As accesoryes he includes two sets of extra hands; one to hold his items and another one in claw shape and they can be changed pretty easy. He also have an extra head with an open roaring mouth and the effcet is really spectacular. This open moith head is my favorite and the sculpted fangs are terrific looking!!

He also have the sword of Plunn-Dar, a handle with two interwinded snakes and a huge blade coming out from both sides. This weapon is HUGE, even bigger than Mumm-Ra and is really epic looking, tough the paint is kinda boring since the snakes are not painted on metalic paint but just in yellow, and the blades are just....grey plastic, just like the sword of omen from Lion-O, why they didnt use metalic paint here???

There is also the Mighty Gyroscope Regulator an item that appeare in one of the last episodes and part of the Gyrosope that keeps Thundera toegether. Mumm-Ra wants to stole this piece tough i dont remember if he even touch it on the cartoon, soo this item is such an specific prop from an specific scene i am not sure it fits Mumm-Ra at all...is like they wanted to add something extra for the two years wait.

The Mighty Gyroscope regulator have a nice sculpy and a basic painting, looks good but is the less important part of the package.

Now the best part of the accesorys, an extra action figure: Ma-Mutt. This is the nicest detail of the pack, give Mumm-Ra his pet and he is even articulated on the four legs and head soo he is an action figure, tough he have cut joints,  and theres not much point on moving him at all.

Ma-Mutt sculpt is really good with his Yautja looking jaw and the spiked collar, the paint, this time, add a lot of shadows and washes to give to his body a lot of volume and highlight the wrinkles on his face. I specially love the big contrast with his tiny red eyes, looks really eveil but kinda cute too...and makes me wonder how Mumm-Ra is the most evil entity of the Third Planet and yet he can give love and care to a dog...

Overall, this is a beautifull and deffinetly the most amazing Mumm-Ra articulated figure, the soft fabric cape with wire, the Ma-Mutt, the scale, the screaming head, everthing here is stellar and this is most deffinetly the best piece of the whole Thundercats line since no other hero or villian can match this.

And still, despite how good this is, a two years delay and the astronomic pirce Super 7 ask for this makes me really question if hes worth it. The huge gap between serires 1 and 2 really hurt my hype for this serires to the point i am notr sure if i will gte more figures of this line. I mean this is the jewel of the crown after all and while i am very happy with this guy, i am not specially happy with Super 7.

MUMM-RA

 Five years ago, when Mattel owned the Thundercats license, they released a single serires of figures with an extra special figure exclusive to theyr collectors club. That figure was Mumm-Ra and i remember how much i wanted him but how fast his price sky rocketed. Because cartoons from the 80s not only did amazing and likeable heros, but they did fantastic and memorable villians as well and Mumm-Ra was always my favorite since he was a true monster.

And now, 35 years later, Mumm-Ra is still one of the most evil and twisted chaarcters to ever appeare on any animation and in an amazing twiwt of events, Super 7 relaunched him on theyr Ultimate Thundercats line with many enhancements and a beautifull box with artwork.

One thing modern figures have (mostly) is scale and here is no exeption since Mumm-Ra is much smaller than Lion-O and much more lighter as well. He can stand on his own (and thats a surprise given how thin are his limbs) and is articulated on the neck, waist, shoulders, elbows, wrists, legs, knes and ankles. All articulations are really sturdy and solid tough unlike Lion-O, this guy have ball jointed articulations. This mean his limbs can bend and rotate with total freedom and he dosnt have the ugly bolts Lion-O have.

The sculpt is.....glorious....really both the sculpt and paint in this figure complement each other perfectly. Each bandage on his body is totally independant to each other and have a soft grey wash to make them looks old and dated and the color contrast pretty nicelly with the soft blue of this monster. The sculpt of the face is, just like Lion-O, 100% accurate to the Ted Wolf 2D design to the last bit, from his non-human smile to his big creppy red eyes.

Also theres a lot of bandages here....obviouslly, but theres also independent extra bandages wrapped around his torso and arms soo theres a lot of hanging bandages here and there wich looks terrific, and since this bandages are made with soft plastic, they dont get in the way of articulations at all!!! Is weird how Mumm-Ra have more movility than Lion-O (tough theres not much sense on moving his legs). The hunched position and how he always have his legs open makes him feel really fragile. Is amazing how such delicate being is one of the most evil and dangerous from the serires.

His accesoryes consist in a pair of extra hands to hold objects. Only one pair unlike his rival and the change system works good tough i am really afraid to brike the peg on his hands or his arms given how thin they are. He also comes with an extra screaming head. The open mouth is really menacing and i am surprised the original Mattel release didnt include this.

Change the heads is kind of tricky tough since both heads have bandages hangig from the sides. The bandages are made with soft plastic and are really neccesary but they get in the way of the cape. Really, exchange head with the hood of his cape is really really tricky and demands extreme care to not brike his neck ball joint.

His other accesoryes are his staff and the sword of Plun-Darr. I dont remember see Mumm-Ra with a staff on the serires but the old LJN figure actually ahd this staff soo it is more like a easter egg for those who collected the original toys. The stass is totally back with the skull of an animal on top, with red eyes, fangs and horns and while it wasnt on screen never, it loosks really awesome on Mumm-Ra´s hand. The sword of Plun-Darr is the closed version soo it looks more like an amulet with two double head snakes tangled made of gold.

Super 7 also added an extra copy of the Book of Omen from Lion-O, i dont know why. Is the same sculpt but in dark brown color instead of gold. They also added a Thundranium Urn and the Rosenkrantz Medallion. The Medallion is very simple looking tough it can fit on Mumm-Ra´s neck perfectly and the paint is really good, with the dark blue jewel and the Z in the center. The Urn tough have a fantastic sculpt and color and is the most detailed accesory on the set.

Finally we gor Mumm-Ra´s cape and hood, made with soft crimson plastic. The sculpt is really good and even help Mumm-Ra to balance, the flow of the cape is perfect and the hood cover his head perfectly, unlike the original release that had the hood always moving upwaord over his head. The cape cover half of the mummy´s body soo he have only one single arm free.

And the second cape...Mattel did a totally open cape for fullposibility but Super 7 went beyond and removed this version and created a real fabric cape with wire all around it. The color of the fabric is a little bit stronger than the plastic cape but looks really amazing....it makes the change of ehad much more easy sicne the hood can be put down and the wire help a lot to open the cape and pose it in really dynamic ways. You want Mumm-Ra totally covered? It cna be done. You want him with the cape fliying over his back? It can be done too and without even losing his balance.

As much as i try really hard to find an issue here...i cant, i really cant find any flaw in this figure since it pretty much fixes my issues with Lion-O (dull accesoryes, imited articulations, ugly abs joint) and made me be glad i didnt spent money on the Matterl version since this was a huge upgrade thanks to the fabric cape.

This Super7 figures are really expensive, yet soo far they have been worth the price thanks to the perfect sculpt and color, the accesoryes and the beautifull presentation with the double box. The ast figure of the serires one was Jackalman but i didnt find too interesting at all, specially after this Mumm-Ra tough the next series will be brand new unreleased before characters and i will pick my favorite for sure.

LION-O

When i was a kid the Thundercats was one of my favorite cartoons, tough i didnt owned any of theyr action figures besides Panthro but i wasnt too worryed since the LJN toys were kinda of....lacking. With the remake from last decade, Bandai produce a short line of figures that, again, didnt live up to Ted Wolf character design. Mezco also create a serires of HUGE action figures that had serious sculpt issues...until five years ago when Mattel started a high quality exclusive line based on the Thundercats original serires.

But after series one, they lose the lincense and leave the collection incomplete with only 6 characters. In an amazing turn of events that i wish it take place more often, Super 7 took the license and reproduced already produced figures while enhancing them and adding four extra lines of characters and called it "Ultimate Thundercats".

The wait was long (i even forgett all abour this line) but the Ultimate Thundercats are finally here and they are more expensive and difficult to find than i anticipated, since Super 7 dont sell on stores but only sell using pre-orders, i never before owned any of theyr figures until now and the price is as high as a imported japanese figure.

Sculpted by Four Hoursemen, the very first figure that picked my interest was of course Lion-O. He was the one that pick my interest when i was a kid along with Tygra, now that i am an adult i know why Lion-O was on my radar all the time, the Thundercats had really sexy looking characters for a kids show. 

Lion-O is on the on the same scale most action figures now day have, he matches in size with the NECA and McFarlane figures, much bigger than Figmas and he can stand on hiw own perfectly and is quiet heavy and solid. He is articulated on the neck, shoulders, biceps, elbows, wrists, abs, waist, legs, knes, boots and ankles. He have a lot of movement freedom and all this articulations work really good and are really hard to move wich is a good thing, is awfull when articulations are lose and the figure cant stand.

Tough both the articulations on his elbows and knes are simple hinge mechanisms instead of the modern ball joints, soo they can bend but not move left or rigth and that limit his movement a lot. For example, he can join his hands together. Also, the entire figure is made with hard plastic, soo Lion-O huge biceps and huge pecs dosnt let him took his sword with both hands. Is weird they give him this kind of dated articulation system.

Sculpt wise he is perfect and beyond. His body frame, his nose, eyes, the shape of his face, his lips, his hair, everything is a perfect match over the cartoon design, like see the character on 3D. This is quiet a feat specially on his face and hair since no other company made Lion-O to looks....well...like Lion-O. 

Same for the paint job, his skin tone matches the cartoon perfectly as well as the blue of his tigth outfit. The paint is a little wonky on his belt tough and i dont know why since they did a terrific job at his face, his red eyes are really perfect. And it seems there was an enhancement over this department since the original Mattel version had more soter tones, Super 7 uped the contrast to match it with the original palette as well as they add darker and lighter oranges to his hair to make it looks more 3D.

The other upgrade this figure had over his original release fave years ago comes into the accesoryes: He have a bunch of extra gripping hands that can be exchanged very easy, tough i dont know why he have two pairs of gripping hands....i wish they give him closed fist instead or something else and also have an extra head with a fierce face expression for battle. The painting in this second head have the same quality as the first one, specially on his teeth and i find hard to belive the first version of the figure didnt come with this second head since its much more spectacular.

His other accesoryes are a bunch of Claw Shield. One to hang from Lion-O hip (with the Sword of Omen on it) and one to put on his hand. This guy have a peg on his hip for the Clawy Shield and looks weird without the item on it but the mechanism to add it and remove it is really easy, same for the Claw Shield for the arm tough both are......hairy and it seems fans didnt liked them back with Mattel, soo Super 7 added an extra pair of Claw Shield but this time in a golden metalic texture and paint, that looks much more faithfull to the cartoon (many times defeated Mumm-Ra with his own reflection).

Then we have the Sword of Omen in both versions, one flaced and one erect. The flacid one have the Eye of Thundera in the center and looks like a dagger. Also it can fit perfectly into the hip hairless Clawy Shield. The erect one one is much bigger and have the Thundercats logo in the center instead of the Eye. Sadly, this is my least interesting accesory since they made with with soft plastic and only the minimum of paint. The sculpt is good and detailed, but the material and lack of painting make it looks like a cheap piece of plastic and the erect version of the sword even thends to curve....

Lastly, he comes with the Book of Omens, the less exciting of his extra added accesoryes, but the scult and paint is really good, specially on the Thundercats seal in the front.

This figure is not perfect tough: aside of the cheap looking swords and simplistic articulations on his knes and elbows, i really hate the big bolts in the sides of his arms and legs as well as the huge gap on this abbs articulation. Its almost like they didnt wanted to "hide" this huge gap and bolts in porpuse, to make him look like a "toy"...or in this case, a retro toy, almost like a He-man figure and i find this strange for such a high price figure.

Despire this aesthetic issues, this figure is really a brillant representation of the character and an awesome oportunity for the people who didnt buy the Matterl version five years ago, the addition of the extra head and Caw Shields makes me feel glad i didnt buy him back them at all. The second figure on the serires one was Panthro but sadly, i wasnt able to afford his price.
