It Came from the Toy Chest: Stonedar and Rokkon

What!? I had nothing funny or any rock puns for the comet warriors, so mocking their bend over rock transformation was the only thing I could think of. Well there is this whole rant about how Stonedar and Rokkon are a Metaphor about they being the consumers and they bend over to Mattel, but since MOTUC made it another year, I can't use that.
Straight out of the package, you can see that it's obvious that these guys are the comet warriors...
If you look closely, you can see where the S.S. Logistics has screwed us again... TRAP JAW LEGS!!
but in all fairness, there are some clever parts reused... aside the Trap Jaw legs. The Rock pieces are where Mattel blew their budget.

These folks have about seven or eight origin stories. Most of them involve the comet warriors being some sort of Space Hippies. Stonedar and Rokkon are father and son... Granita is Rokkon's sister in some origins. Not sure if she's anything else in other origins... Sadly, Granita is not a MOTUC Figure and probably never will... Yes, we made it through 2014, that is super awesome, but Mattel needs to keep wowing us for 2015 to make it... (a rant for another day, I promise) Let me focus back on the real stars of the review, The Comet Warriors.

So let's get back to the ratings par where 1 is crap and 5 is awesome.

Articulation:
As you can see they share some Articulation with the Standard figures. Severily Limited with the Rock Pieces attached. Without them, they have the standard range of Articulation as a normal figure. Then again, not having the rock pieces on the Comet Warriors makes them pointless...

As rockless as possible!

They can REALLY bend over... due to their loincloth, and "action feature"

2.5 WITH Rock pieces, 4.0 without rock pieces.

Paint and Sculpt:
There is a combination of old and new parts here... something I mentioned way up there! The New parts make them POP! The Old stuff is mostly Trap Jaw boots, Roboto arms on Stonedar, Man-e-faces shoulders and Kronis arms on Rokkon.

Kinda looks like an Astronaut inside an escape pod.

While they don't have sloppy paintjobs, there are some paintrub issues with the comet warriors. The inner parts of the rock pieces rubbed some gold and silver paint on random spots on them. (silver for Rokkon and gold for Stonedar) In some places the  paint has scratched off due to posing.
3.5


Accessories:
Their Satellite Dish gun... That does not spin like the vintage one... Logistics. Or if we do a Nettossa we can count their rock Pieces.
5.0

EXTERMINATE!!

Overall:

3.67 overall score if we have the Rock pieces... 4.17 without the rock pieces.
Here's the thing: I'm not going to complain about Mattel "being cheap" because they didn't do the vintage Toy thighs, or how much Mattel design sucks ass when the Horsemen made the leg clips function as the missing bands. I have to say that clipping the pieces on the Joint holes was clever. I'm supposed to be wowed by them, but sadly, I'm underwhelmed. The sculpts are cool, but the rock pieces are big, clunky, awkward and limit poseability way too much. Removing them, kills the whole rock people thing they have going for them. Now if we could get some non-human Comet beings... better known as METEORBS... that would be a different story...
