MOTU Movie CORE Deluxe Figures Trap Jaw

 Skeletor has been getting all the love in the new MOTU live action film but as far as action figures go, Trap Jaw is your winner hands down. 


Trap Jaw doesn't have a base core figure yet. Instead, Mattel went with an even more kid friendly offering releasing Trap Jaw as a deluxe figure with a special action feature. 
I love this figure but I'm not crazy about the action feature. 
As you can see I had to prop Trap Jaw's robotic arm with a stand because it's not articulated. You can't permanently lower or raise it. The only way to move the arm is by twisting Trap Jaw at the waist, which allows for the knife or hook attachment to deploy. 
It sucks because aesthetically the figure rocks. Not being able to articulate the robotic arm for pics and general posing really stinks. 
I hope they release a single carded MOTU CORE TJ soon. For now this one will serve as a placeholder.

CT Toys - Spider-Man (Classic)

CT Toys is heavy on my radar right now. I was pleasantly surprised with Wolverine but this Spider-Man figure has made me a full fledged believer. Included are 5 sets of alternate hands, 1 with magnets (6 in all if you count the ones he comes equipped with), 1 extra set of articulated feet with magnets, 4 web streams and an alternate McFarlane style head sculpt. Oh, and a display stand.  I've said in the past how sucky I am at posing action figures. That said, MAFEX/CT figs are great for posing, even if you're not very good at it. It's "kid gloves" with these guys, though, as they are a little gummier than Legends figures.  CT Toys Wolvie and Spidey!  Here's CT Toys Spidey next to a couple of Marvel Legends Spider-Man figures. The differences are pretty pronoun...

1990 Toy Biz Marvel Superheroes Daredevil

Growing up we had lots of cool superhero toys to collect. There was never a shortage of Batman, Superman or Spiderman figures in the toy aisles. Mainstream characters got all the love. Dudes like Daredevil, not so much. That all changed in the mid to late 80's (Mattel Secret Wars) and in 1990 Toy Biz would start releasing their seemingly neverending line of Marvel Superheroes that gave us action figures of everybody from  Daredevil to Deathlok.
