Sorry it has been so long that I have got any new reviews upon the blog, but just had some personal issues that affected my ability to getnew write ups. My plan is to get more done over next couple months, I have some figures sitting around that I never reviewed and also some recently bought toys that I will try my hardest to put up a new one at least twice a month. So let's get to the point of this latest article.
This is my review of the Thundercats 2011 Mumm-Ra figure.This is based on the updated design from the recently cancelled series. They have kept some of the key features of the character, such as the grey colour scheme, the mummy wrapping flowing of them and the snakes on his chest and eventhe cape design coming off his helmet. Like the Lion-o figure he comes with many accessories. With this version of the character, before the Cats got the Sword of Omens, Mumm-ra had part of the sword himself. This is shown by his accessories such as the double ended sword of omens but also he has a smaller version of this sword and also the double ended sword can be taken apart to become a shorter sword. He also comes with one of the strangest shields as well, it has was can only be called tentacles that some how help defend him. He also much like Lion-o he comes with extra hands; these are an open hand and close variety for holding weapons. Healso comes with a tattered cape that you have to connect to the helmet, this is a pain, and it’s very frustrating to put this under the cape because the instructions are not very clear. You need to remove the helmet and then connect the cape to the back of the figure but this is very loose and will pop off at the slightest knock.
The articulation of this figure is very alike the Lion-ofigure. It has 16 points of movement so you can you do all sorts of possibility. But the articulation also has some problems; the tunic that he is wearing hampers some of the movement of the legs so you can’t move the legs out that far. The other problems that occur with the figure is the hands are a pain to stick the weapons to them, it’s alot easier to stick the sword into the hand separately and put them together inhis hand. The shield is also entirely to loose and it doesn’t stay on the arm.The paint job is actually pretty good with this figure. It perfectly captures the look and feel of the updated series. The grey looks smooth and also shaded too. I don’t have any real problems with the look of this figure. The only thing I wish that this character is missing and I think it was going to have them but they changed their mind or wanted to cut the cost of the figure.
If you have any of the others Thundercats but have not picked this up, I would recommend that you get this figure so that you have avillain for Lion-o to fight. It’s a fun figure with some slight problem but all together a good figure.
So comment, like and spread my name across the blogging sphere.
