It's the final day of the week, and today I'm opening another 2-in-one figure from GL Wave 2. It's the final day of GL Wave 2 week here on Toy a Day and it's part of DCUC 2011 month here. And unlike Medphyll/Naut Kei Loi, I only have one of him, so this will have to do double duty.
The version I have is packaged as Skallox. Despite this, it does show off the Nite-Lik head and accessories in the bubble.
Nite-Lik, of course, is named after Scott Neitlich of Mattel, and there's a starburst on the bubble to advertise that it has enough parts to form the alternate figure. I do like the red lantern logo on the title card - it clashes with the green of the packaging and because of that, it stands out really well.
Skallox comes with Stel's leg and the Nite-Lik's parts. Otherwise, he has no accessories. He has the standard DCUC humanoid body, with two differences.
The first is the red lantern ring on his fist. The fist only has 3 fingers though, so I'm not sure if it's a reused part or not. The ring is painted well, and the sculpt is visible, but it does need a bit more paint where it meets the fingers. The head is new and looks like a deskinned goat. It has nice sculpted features and the paintwork is good, but it seems a bit boring, to be honest.
Converting him to Nite-Lik is an easy case of popping out the fists and head and putton on the harness, head and hands. Unlike Low/Maash, the fits are solidly constructed for both figures, so there's no chance of breaking them when unplugging them from the wrists.
Nite-Lik looks amazine, and the sculpt has all sorts of goodness including lots of accurately painted splotches and such. The harness is made of soft plastic and is a bit deformed from the packaging, but it does fit on the torso well and gives the figure a very different look from Skallox. The head sculpt is scary and I can't fault the sculpting or the painting. I guess it does pay to get a figure named after the brand manager.
Well, Skallox (or Nite-Lik) is my second Red Lantern, but two doesn't make a corps. Atrocious, the leader of the Red Lanterns has just been announced in SDCC to be part of Wave 20. I'm also hunting down a second red lantern body so that I can display both these figures. OK, four still doesn't make a corps, but it's better than two!
