I was going to stay away from the villains in this series, but this figure looked cool. I ended up picking him up and I'm glad I did.






Opening him up, I still have my way I like to do this. I can put him back on the card and hang it on the wall if I want and it looks as if it's up opened. Just one of my "need mint in package" things. It's not about actually having it mint, just the look for hanging and I get the best of both this way.




The design on the card is pretty cool and looks a lot like one of the Devils Due Cobra deals in one of their stories. Or am I thinking about the club?






As I said above, he's a cool figure. Very bulky as he should be. Detailing is very well done. He matches the cartoon design well. He has that magnet thing on his back and really it would be nice if they wouldn't have done this. Or if they had to, they could have come up with a better design. He has a big square that looks like he should have a backpack to fit over it.

The mace weapon is activated and extends by passing over the magnet, or you can stick it to his back. There's also a thing that holds his 1 arrow too. I don't know if it's a quiver or a mortar launcher. Over all the weapon selection is strange. It's also a problem with them being made of a way too soft plastic/rubber material. I decided to keep them in the package and might find better weapons.




He has pretty good articulation. Swivel wrists, elbows, ball joint shoulder, swivel neck, swivel waist, knees, swivel thighs, ankles, and basically ball joint hips. Out of all of that, you'd think they'd have given swivel upper arms, but they didn't. That's a downer, and his bulky size does cause a little bit of issues with his arm movement. His beard makes it hard to rotate his head too. It's not that bad really, and only sounds like it. It's just worth mentioning.

I do like the figure over all. Very well worth having. He just needs weapons that won't sag when he's holding them. Upper arm swivels would be nice too and could easily be customized in. If you're collecting the new Thundercat figures, he is one to get.

Interesting figure. I hadn't seen him before.

I like the cardback art work. Can you scan in the two snakes? Might make a neat new Cobra sigil/specialty trooper insignia...

How well does he hold his weapons ?

Exactly what I was thinking!

Yeah I'll try and get that scan done as soon as I can. He does hold his weapons fine. There's no problems there, it's just the weapons suck. They're almost as soft as gummy candy. The top of the mace is plastic but the handle is that crappy material. I had a him posed with the mace and by the time I was about to shoot the picture, the top was already sagging so bad that it was just pointless to do a pic. I might at the very least save the mace by cutting the rubber material off and redo the handle in plastic. The bow and arrow are solidly made of this material.

Nice. Thanks for the review and pics. I can't find this guy anywhere.

I like him, but like everyone else I just can't find him. But he really does look like he is voiced by Clancy Brown (which he is so it works LOL).
