Now that I got the Conan joke out of the way, let's do the review.
Vikor is one of the He-Man concepts that made it to the prototype stage.
He kinda looks like a certain Barbarian/Destroyer/Machine/Governor of...
Oh Ahnuld! why did you have to choose the state of... Son't say it again Kid from The Wizard... I wanna say it.
CALIFORNIA!
BTW guess where Mattel's HQ are located...
OK as I was saying VIKOR is Basically He-Man before we got He-Man... Very Barbarian like. A few changes and we got the HE-Man we know and love.
Now let's move on to the review. You already know 1= What? Crap! Muy Bien! and cinco (5) is? Awesome! Let's go... If you read this and heard Dora the Explorer's voice in your head, then you're not going crazy...
Articulation: Same as the average MOTUC Figure. The head loses a bit of articulation due to the cape and long hair. The Ankles are super tight due to a new sculpt but I'll talk about that in the next point. 4.5
Paint and Sculpt: Here's the thing: Vikor's got a bunch of new sculpt. Hands, thigsh left Bicep, Lower Torso and the feet seem to be shared parts. The upper Torso seems to be new. I suspect this for two reasons: There is no rectangular scar from the original King Grayskull mold that had a hole in the back to fit his armor/cape. The second reason is that they changed the neck peg. Now it is not a barbell, but similar to the female neck pegs. Not cool Mattel. Paintwise he's painted nicely although mine had a huge chunk of either white paint or glue on one of his boots. The weapons have a killer paint job that make them look more realistic instead of the standard toy-like look from the MOTU weapons. 4.5
Accessories: Okay! Vikor has a Killer Sword a Pointy Shield and a Cool Ax!
Hopefully we will see repaints of these in future Weapons packs... 4.5
Overall:4.5 Vikor Frigging rocks! He isn't perfect (QC issues are what held his score a bit.) Now He will go and crush his enemies, see them driven before him and hear the lamentations of the women!
