I liked Basher from the start for his consistent form and awesome gimmick, not to mention the minotaur design, but I do agree that he could have used some more trans-purple. I like the way they implemented the trans-orange on his shoulders, and they break up the color scheme better than trans-purple would for me, but I do think some more trans-purple shells would have benefited his legs. As of now, he just looks a little too grey. I don't know if trans-purple horns would have benefited the set, mostly because I'm not sure if they can be made transparent. If they could, great, but for now, I don't mind the different purples on the set. I have those parts already from the Ultrabuild Joker a few years back, anyway.
Some you showed the chestpiece at such a close shot, I'm finally able to confirm I have a misprint. On mine, the purple-pink part is slightly raised on one side, so it looks like it was printed at an angle. I don't know how common it is, so I doubt it's anything too special.
This was the first set of the summer 2015 wave that I bought. I gotta say that after building him, the first thing I really noticed is that he's really short compared to the other 3 sets. I guess it makes sense considering that skull basher is meant to be a rival of onua and that onua himself is also oddly short.
The reason they didn't recolor the massive horns into trans-purple is probably that the solid purple is a slightly flexible variant of plastic, and it could probably snap if it was hard plastic in intense play.
A small fix can be made that helps with both the exposed ball joints and the floppy arms. Simply add a few ball joint connectors (Like the ones used to hold onua's shoulder pads on) to the exposed balls. These can be positioned upwards, where they sit almost perfectly flush with the chestplate, creating the illusion of it being a solid mass that wraps around the chest. In that position, the function still works. To lock the function, simply turn them so the rounded edge sits against the orange armor shells. this locks the mechanism back, making posing a breeze.
I see this skull mask to be like a mouth guard that dogs sometimes have, or the mask that like insane people in crazy institutes with straight jackets have in cartoons and stuff. it looks cool and gives a twisted insane mutated vibe to the skull basker and skorpio.
Let’s set one thing fucking straight, he does not suck as a temple guardian. He was simply overwhelmed by the combined force of the G2 Toa, and that’s just unfair!
The play feature on Skull Basher looks to be a downgrade from Dragon Bolt's wing mechanism. The latter at least had a rubber band to allow some sort of flapping motion, but I think it makes sense for Basher to have a piece of tubing. Gives it a more mechanical look.
Unless you've already chosen, I'd recommend either the Warrior or the Basher, for me the Skull Slicer was a bit of a disappointment. I feel as though the Skull Basher is slightly too complex for its own good, I feel his poseability has been sacrificed in some way. This is just my view of course, and it may not be useful, but oh well.
I love your reviews and i would really like that you review the toa metru!! I know i already put a comment like this in another video sorry for the spam
I am so mad because you said skull basher is your least favourite you now why because skull basher is my favourite your like you can do better than that masterpiece please don't make me delete this video so please say skull bashed is your favourite
I feel like the clear orange shell represents Skull Grinder's control over the other skellies, as Grinder's main color is that clear orange.
Doom Spikes? Wow. That is just masterful.

Silly thought, but Onua's drained mask looks an awful lot like pb&j to me.
Behold, the Peanut Butter & Jelly mask!

Although you kind of dislike this set, I think it still looks the best, although I don't have it in person.
Bashed along with Scorpio were much more fun to build because they are so unique. I had the same feeling with LOSS!

anyone hear spooky scary skeleton?
The purpose of the big red button is to make sonic boom
You.

Wth with the "doom spikes"? xD They were running out of ideas?

Neat trick.
That doesn't sit quite as flush on the body and more obstructs the function, rather than locking it.
also part of the reason they use trans orange instead of figure specific colors is to reduce the number of recolors they have to make
I see this skull mask to be like a mouth guard that dogs sometimes have, or the mask that like insane people in crazy institutes with straight jackets have in cartoons and stuff. it looks cool and gives a twisted insane mutated vibe to the skull basker and skorpio.
moving the friction joints to the arms helps with the bashing function issues a little, but not by much
my fav set of the year
love your vids!
Dooooooom Spiiiiiiiiiikes!
#doomspikes
Lol at the "Doom Spikes."
Don't doubt the power of the DOOM SPIKES
cool vid!
love the DOOM SPIKES
onua's mask looks like peanut butter and jelly
Have you seen tahu's ?
From personal experience and observation,Basher can wear the mask of earth (all 3 versions) and all the skull masks.
Basher can also wear the Mask of Ice and Mask of Creation.

Which of the new sets should I get. I can only get one and I can't decide who to get between warrior, slicer, and basher.
