It came from the Toy Chest: Weapons Rack

The Weapons Rack is here! The first of Mattel's "Diorama pieces" and an item from the Vintage Castle Grayskull, the Weapons Rack is here to prove its worth.
There it is in all its glory... Let's have Adam fill us in on each weapon from the rack before my review.


There you have it! That's the weapons pack! Now for the ratings part: 1 = crap and 5= Awesome!
Since this is an accessory pack the ratings are a bit different... (No Articulation section.)
Paint and Sculpt:
Most of this pack is something that has been seen before, as the MotUC figures pointed out.
The Rack itself is new. It seems to be 3 pieces. (Both halves that mirror each other and the inner skeleton with the pegs that hold the weapons.)
Paintwise, I LOVE the silver weapons with the weathering effect. I'm not too fond of the red weapons, but the red isn't that much of an eyesore as it looks on pics. My rifle has a bit of paint chipped off straight out of the package. (no pics cause the camera couldn't detect it. It thinks it's glare from the metallic paintjob.) At least there are no oddly placed CHINA tampos.
4.0

The rack on itself can seem a bit pointless since the cost of it is $12 and shipping is about $10. The true value of the rack (IMO) comes when you fill it up with other extra weapons from previous packs or that the figures can't carry theirs.
It still has plenty of space on the back...
