Great review, Pixel Dan should take some notes.

The freakin armor is glued? Oh boy, I just don't understand what is going on anymore. That is just insult to injury.

I have to say, regardless of the reversed shoulders, regardless of Scott's lies/design choice, regardless of the gummy hands - this figure could have been a monument to NA and this line. EXCEPT for that bloated armor - which should have just been his actual torso.

I mean, they already went balls deep with all the sculpted detail and new parts, just go all the way and do it right.

The armor is glued!?!?

What a bunch of losers...

Those guys at Mattel are the absolute worst, I'm actually debating if I should sell my remaining MOTUC figures... I just keep getting more and more turned off every time I witness such hugely displays of dumbness...

---edit---

I just watched a bit of Pixel-dan's review and there was no mentioning of the armor being glued. He didn't remove it completely though... so I find it a bit strange.

If the armor is indeed fixed to the figure it's just one more failure on probably the overall most flawed figure since Frosta.

Flaws or no flaws, I will be getting one or two extra of this guy. He's great custom fodder.

[Captain Atkin]

I will definitely be customizing my figure when I get him. Double Trouble too.

[Barnster]

Glued or not, he looks fat from every angle.

Such a waste....

[Grayskull's Lost Son]

I think I remember TG actually announced a while ago that it would be glued. By glueing it down they wanted to make sure he wouldn't look fat

[Novelty]

I'd like to glue Toyguru down so that he doesn't look stupid. But alas, that's not gonna work.

glue traps are the best ways to catch a rat.

Too late for that. I just cannot "unsee" Skeletor's fat armor. What a terrible decision that was!

[Captain Atkin]

I took the armor off my NA Skeletor. I had to soak him in hot water, and then gently pull on the tabs to get the glue to peal off. There was no glue on the body - just the tabs were glued. I think he looks much better without the armor. I will be customizing the armor that came with him soon. They really should have just given him a Zodac-style armor. The skin armor was a very bad idea.

[Mechanizor]

LOL, a very good one!

[Captain Atkin]

I will be customizing him this week so that he can wear the armor. Just need to buy some paint to fix the parts I cut.

[Shawn]

Great. Thanks for sharing that tip. I've been considering trying this, going for a more cartoon model, not cyborg look for him, this makes me want to try. Are you going to Cut the "armor" off from the skin? That's what I was thinking, perhaps gluing it to a Zodac armor?

[Croc-O-Bite!]

For those who already have him in hand (I've got quarterly shipping so I've got to wait until the end of the month), I was curious to know for potential customizing purposes, do the ears on the helmeted Unfortunate One head match the blue of NA Skeletor's skin?

[Shawn]

OOOH. Good question. IDK. Mine are all boxed and put away at the moment. I'm gonna try this though when I have time!

[Nemisythe]

I've also heard about reverse shoulders on this guy as well. He-Bro provided the repair procedure for it.
