It's slightly more than a week after Matty release day, and this package shows up on my doorstep:
What could it be? I've never received packages from this digital company...
And then it hit me. Doh!
It's Digital Rivers of course, and it's my reissue/rerelease Trap Jaw. This was my third order on Whiplash release day and the second one to arrive at its destination. Sadly the one that I shipped surface to New York City is apparently still enroute to NYC. It has "The Original" starburst on the title card, but otherwise, it's just the same as the regular ol' Trap Jaw, which I reviewed way back in March.
OK, I'm not gonna write too much about the figure. However, since it is a brand new toy, it does mean that he would have to take a slot this month and bump everything else down by a day. Oh well, I guess he's worth it! I got this figure to make Kronis, who I think looks significantly different from Trap Jaw to merit his own display space. I'm giving him Poe's Dread Axe of Darkness (which you can win if you join the contest) and the blue shield from the Weapons Pak.
Gettting a second Trap Jaw also means I can customise my existing Trap Jaw and give him 2 mechanical arms. It doesn't really work, but it's funny nevertheless. What's even more funny is that I could create Two Jaw Three Bad with all the spare parts that I have. LOL.
But what about the Weapons Pak weapons that are meant for Kronis? Well, his left hand is the open hand, so that can't hold anything. And he's holding the axe in his right. So where do I fit the gun? Easy - on his belt!

Kronis is badass. I may eventually get a second Trapjaw as well now that I've seen how cool he is. I love that snarled expression.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if they are reissuing him again. But yeah, it's worth getting 2 so that he can be customised with 2 mechanical arms.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...my comment went missing. That's odd. lol
ReplyDeleteI posted that I love the pistol in the belt attachment. It makes perfect sense, but I never thought of it! lol
Didn't know about the belt holster (holder?) for the gun too. Neat addition
ReplyDeleteI don't see a deleted comment... it didn't get posted on your end.
ReplyDeleteBut yeah, I was surprised that the gun fits, considering that it was designed for MAA.
That's not a bad idea with the gun novelty. Kronis also looks pretty good with the blue shield, but I use the blue weapons for my TRU He-Man myself.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a TRU He-Man :(
ReplyDeleteWell go out and get one man. I know lots of fans commented originally on his garish colors, but it's another case of in person he looks perfectly fine. His hair colors are the absolutely best. I wish Mattel would make that the standard on their He-Men from now on.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could afford him this month. Sadly, I can't.
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of TRU He-Man figures around. They're still available on ToysRus.com too. So, he should be around for quite some time. :D
ReplyDeleteI understand the funds problem. When you do have the money, be sure you pick one up. In my opinion he's worth every penny. He's my favorite version of the character. I like they yellow wrist bands, and his hair color. Throw in the blue swords and you've got a winner.
ReplyDeleteHopefully the'll be around for a while.
