    ok this review has gotten me excited about the figure. I passed on it this morning, but I may have to go for it at the second sale. If nothing else just for the soft goods and cool new parts.

      If for people who are indifferent about the character, the parts alone are amazing.

    The parts and soft goods are getting me more excited than the character. Really good review though

      Sort of. It's the mask that can move a bit. But the head underneath is one solid piece.

      Lol live unboxing, I literally just named the first two things that popped in my head. Prediction was more about them making a female character than anything specific. Sorry if I offended you.

      @@DorkLair Oh no worries, I'm not offended. I just found it funny as this is for "monster" line (But they did do Father Xmas...). I'm wishing for a Medusa figure personally.

      @@MikoDarkblade I don't think 4HM see it as a monster line. I think their list of potentials has a TON of non-monster characters. But yeah Medusa would be rad.

    I'm meh on this one, don't really know the story nor does this figure do anything for me....
