Trap Jaw (He-Man - Masters of the Universe) Review

Trap Jaw
He-Man - Masters of the Universe (Mattel)What can I say? It's Trap Jaw.
This was easily the weirdest thing we'd seen so far. Animal people, sure. Cool armor, maybe a skull head. And then here comes a shirtless steampunk pirate with a prosthetic arm and a casque helm with a Zipline grommet. He has a laser rifle and a metal jaw. Comes with a GITD ring for some reason. New legs, new arms, new head. They really went all out within the confines of the medium, and it's a pretty striking color combo too. The paint is well applied as always. You all know the articulation, I'm sure, but we also get a hinged jaw, which is nice. And of course, a swivel at the "wrist". I do wish the robo-arm was bent like everyone else; it feels so stiff and awkward.
Because of that bland pose, the attachments- the classic hook, a fairly fancy laser that looks weirdly long in place, and The Clamp!, oddly mounted on a stalk (?). Only the hook lacks the bit that hangs on the belt, so that one'll take some wrangling.
And then there's the ring. Greyskull Warrior Ring. Only packed with this guy and Tri-Klops as I recall. It features a Greyskull logo used in various print media, picked out in black. There's a hidden compartment (with a very obvious hinge) under the face. No explanation from Mattel, but surely they'll touch on it in-story eventually.
Surely.
Well, a wealth of new molds and a very distinct look net Trap-Jaw a pretty good rating. It ain't perfect, but it tries like hell, and that counts for a lot.
