This is the start of the second half of Dick Tracy fortnight, which is part of Super Screened September here on Toy a Day. Today's figure is Shoulders!
Shoulders comes on the usual Dick Tracy card. There's nothing more to be added about the card that I haven't already said before. The back does have 14 characters, that presumably formed the first wave of the release. I wonder if there's a second wave.
Shoulders is moulded mainly in green plastic, and as a result, he wears a green coat and pants with a green hat. The sculpt, like all the others previously opened has great details, including a tie-clip on the tie and a grimace on the face. The paintwork is acceptable, but is far from excellent. Nevertheless, it does bring fort the details of the sculpt, including the aforementioned tie-clip. Curiously, Shoulders' shirt is painted lavender, which clashes with the green, but doesn't actually look too bad aesthetically... well, the shirt that is - the green suit though, is a different matter altogether.
Shoulders comes with the usual assortment of phallic weapons including the shotgun first seen with Flattop, and a long phallic club with spikes on the end for extra damage or pleasure, depending on whether you're on the giving end or the receiving end. He also has a bullet clip belt which fits around hsi waist rather nicely.
Again, thanks to the hat, and the rather slim face, Shoulders doesn't seem like a bobble-head doll. However, the weird shade of green and the weird sculpted pose makes him look like a Ninja Turtle instead. He does fit in well with the rest of the figures from the line, and next to them, his green suit doesn't seem too garish. I wonder though how he'd look next to some Ninja Turtles.

HA! They're so similar you actually start calling him Mumbles halfway down the review. Not a good sign. :)
