Write a Review link for that item. Spawn (McFarlane)I'm a slight sucker for post-apocalyptic toys from the 90s. Road Wars, Fist of the North Star, it all had a slight but delightful cartoonish nature. It's therefore a little surprising I never bought this guy to mix in there. But that's what secondhand stores are for, so let's see how this nutjob stacks up. Sculpt and paint are the usual fare for this point in the line: grungy and muted with splashes of brighter color. The cutoff Hawaiian shirt is a nice touch, and his tattoos are cleanly applied. There's quite a varied selection of junk all over him, and it all looks like an edgy Borderlands OC. Not so fun are the articulation and action feature. Swivels at the Big Five, right wrist and elbow, and pin right knee aren't nearly enough to get him out of his "leaning heavily on a weed whacker" pose. In fact, that machete leg (which launches off at the knee like a missile, by the way) is about 1/4" too long no matter how you pose him, so it's never vertical enough to look stable. A marginally shorter shaft would have helped, but safety standards, I suppose. Some fun can be had with the accessories. There's a welding mask that pegs onto his head via a somewhat flimsy hinge, and a rat to peg into his shoulder. Weapons consist of the aforementioned trimmer (oddly vertical, and sporting a single flail rather than the expected two), and a jackhammer, both of which can serve as the titular crutch, or store on the figure's back. What we have here is a background figure, a mook. Not enough posing options for center display, but visually interesting enough to stand out anyway. You're buying a crowd-filler, a piece of scenery. Pay accordingly.   by Karl T. Face |
