It came from the Toy Chest: You spin me round

Sy-Klone: The Heroic Fist-Flinging Tornado is here! Big thanks to The Great Rebellion for providing him!

That guy... He's joined the ranks of the Masters of the Universe Classics.

He's one of those characters that had the "Classicizer machine" stuck on Vintage Mode. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but Sy, kinda needed some "oomph!" compared to guys like Bow, Vikor, or King Hssss. Looking like a Blue young George Takei can only take him so far...

Let's get on with the review Shall we? As Always 1 = crap and 5 = Awesome!

Articulation:

The Articulation is the same as your average MOTUC Figure. Nothing new here. All of his joints are tighter than... (Fill this blank with the tightest thing you've ever seen here...) Sadly his right Shoulder seems to act strangely if I want to rotate it upwards... As in Shoulder don't want to rotate so Sy-Klone can raise his arms.

3.5

Paint and Sculpt:

I already mentioned that he's almost a carbon copy of the 80s toy and that he looks like a Young George Takei. He's got a couple of new parts: Obviously the shoulders, the abs, thighs, and feet are reused. Everything else is new. The Chest piece does not interfere that much with the Ab Crunch... Now that's cool! On the paint department... I'll let the pic speak for itself...

3.0 (Mostly cause of the paint...) Oh yeah! The shield chips off paint like Crazy and it's molded in blue and painted yellow... More on that on the next part of the review...

Accessories:

Shield and Red Ring of Death... The Ring is removable and can be held by the figure. The shield on the other hand, cannot be placed on the figure... I tried and it chipped off paint like crazy AND it did not fit the figure. At least the red ring CAN be placed like a Hula Hoop like in the 200X Cartoon!

3.0

Overall:

3.17 His score was hurt mostly cause of a couple of flaws (paint, semi-Frozen right Shoulder).

He's not that bad... I just feel he's a bit meh!

As I said he needed some "Oomph!". Also I'm not too fond of the extremely Bright colors that he has. If there was a way to darken those colors... like a paint wash, or perhaps some dry brushing... Maybe some way to add some 200X elements without the dreaded "Anime Hyper Detail".

Oh look! I almost made a Sy-Klone Review without mentioning the Dial! The dial is there... Not as noticeable as Hurricane Hordak's Eyesore dial... (Not going to rant about it until I see the final product.) Visually it's not THAT bothersome, but it DOES break the aesthetics of the figure... Also if Mattel wants dials, the least they can do is have them DO SOMETHING!
