Thundercats Classic Lion-O
Hello guys and it is time for me to do a REVIEW!! Yes I finally found the time to take a few pics of an action figure and today's review is as the title says...LION-O lord of the Thundercats!
The figure stands roughly about 8 Inches tall. The paint apps on this figure are very well done and no splotches on it at all. It has 18 points of articulation and its very very good, though some poses may require the assistance of a figure stand.
Best part is it comes with swappable hands, something very rare in western figures and I hope this will become standard one day. There are a few minor problems like the joints in the wrist and ankle's are unpainted and the fully extended Sword of Omens made from really soft plastic that tends to droop :(. The figure comes with both the extended and unextended version of the Sword of Omens.
And here are the things that I wish would come with this figure, effect parts, swappable head/face and a figure stand. Considering the fact that most western figures have their prices on par with SH Figuarts and they come with tons more accessories. Western Figures usually come with stupid accessories or extra's that don't really add to the playability or value of the figure. A practice most often associated with Hasbro and their stupid missile launcher weapons. The only time Hasbro got it right by my book was when they released the Wal-Mart exclusive Iron man Mark 4 figure with the extra head and hands.
But I digress, overall this Lion-O figure is definitely a move in the right direction for western figures and I will continue to purchase figures from this line if the quality keeps up. Here are the pics:
