Write a Review link for that item. Masters of the Universe - Origins (Mattel)Bad kitty. I didn't even buy this for Skeletor; it just seemed like something HHH would ride into the arena on, given the option. And it was only ten bucks, so the bar is a little low. But like any cat, it snuck under. I must commend the sculpt. The original mold was famously well sculpted, and this one, while a tad beefier, ramps up the fine detail and looks far better than flocking ever did. Paint is of course minimal; some dark airbrushing would be nice, but it's a deep enough purple to make its own shadows. The saddle buckles securely and looks great from all angles, which isn't always a guarantee. Articulation is nice on paper: tail, shoulders, hips, knees, elbows, neck, and jaw. But while the head is remarkably flexible, the limbs are all but useless. The swivel/hinges at the knees and elbows are near-useless paired with the swivel hips and shoulders. A slight crouch is possible, but it's a matter of centimeters thanks to the restricted movement. Anything more extreme, and it looks like the poor thing is slipping on ice. This is a big purple cat with a sweet saddle that can look around and paw at stuff. What it cannot do, unlike the rest of the line, is take the pose of the original. Which seems to be the main thrust here, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I'm glad I wasn't in the market for Battle Cat, because it's presumably just as mediocre.    by Karl T. Face |
