Chronicles Skeletor! Excited and disappointed at the same time.
Finally got him this morning at my local Target. Get home and out of package. First knee bend and the joint pops out of the leg before I know what happened. Figure was warm and I did not use excessive force. The lower elbow joint on left arm almost did the same thing. Not a great start to make me like this line. Was nice that he could stand on one leg.
I used some hot water on leg piece and joint popped right back in as tight as you please. Arm joint is still frozen even after hair dryer and hot water but the top moves just fine. After a bit of messing around with him he started to grow on me.
Had to do some shots with my current Skeletor. It’s a custom cape with 40th Anniversary body and Classics headsculpt.
I do like how the eyes seem to follow you like the new Battlecat’s does. Creepy and cool, just like Skeletor should be.
All in all I am still on the fence with this line. I feel they missed the boat with the scale chosen. As a kid my Masters figures towered over my Star Wars and GI Joes. Something this line does not continue. However the articulation and sculpt are very impressive. The hood and cape on Skeletor have a great texture.
If not for the broken leg right out of the package I might have a little more desire for this line but for now, I’m going to wait before I get any more. For those that love this wave enjoy and I hope they keep it going.
