It Came from the Toy Chest: I was once a Man-at-Arms!

Seriously, Snake-Man-At-Arms is pretty much a walking Cobra commander joke... Mattel faced a dilemma: How to make a Man-at-Arms variant. Filmation was pretty much a repaint of the Palace guard buck and a Msutached Man-at-arms head. 200X Man-at-Arms was out of the question "that style is retired" and all that crap. 1987 Movie Man-at-Arms was an impossibility even if Mattel could do "any repaints of characters they own. Like Marlena, or Man-at-Arms" ...
Well there's the 200X Variants of him... Let's see:
Battle Glove MAA is pretty Much 200x MAA which we can't get... "anime Hyperdetail" and all that...
Samurai MAA... well, let's pretend that abomination never happened...
Then there's Serpent Claw MAA... whose main difference vs normal MAA is a silver chest armor and shoulder pauldron... That's weapon pack Material!! It's Impossible to make a Man-at-Arms variant...
well, the geniuses at Mattel figured it out! Snake-Man-At-Arms!
They popped a new snake head on the old MAA Body...
After all the flak that Mattel got with Battleground Evil Lyn, they expect fans to take the plunge with another lazy repaint variant? they need to improve this ****!
Mattel heard us loud and clear... They went back to the drawing board with Snake Man-at-Arms...
They made the impossible possible with Roboto, Man-e-Faces, and Trap Jaw bits... They gave Man-at-Arms a 200X Inspired buck!

He ONCE WASSSS A MAN!!! (at-Arms)

 So, let's take a look at 200X Man-at-Arms Snake-Man-At-Arms!
5 point rating, the closer to 5 the better the toy... the closer to 1 well, let's say the toy is not that good!

This is what we were supposed to get...
Thank goodness for fans "whining"

Articulation:
Snake MAA has the standrard MOTUC Articulation here. Nothing to write home about. No loose joints here either.
4.5

Paint and Sculpt:
The take on 200X MAA with reused parts is amazing. The new Snake head is pretty cool AND it looks like Man-at-Arms! Now I have a few issues with paint. the armor has beautiful gold accents, but on his chest armor some are painted beautifully, while some areas that should have these accents do not have them. Then there's the right bracer thing. due to his usage of Trap Jaw's forearms the bracer looks off. Mostly cause it was painted in the shape of a normal bracer. Half of the bracer looks painted on. I know it won't bug some, but it bugs me!
3.5

Man-at-Arms vs Snake-Man-at-Arms!! They're sexy and they know it!

Accessories:
Remember when I mentioned that Snake Man-at-Arms began his existence in MOTUC as a Lazy Repaint? Well, the USS Logistics hit an iceberg here and sank the Iceberg! SMAA only has his Mace which I must say is not as limp as the Normal MAA Mace... (Magic Blue Pill?)  and he also comes with a

Serpent's Ring... Originally it was going to be Die Cast but USS Logistics crushed that... thank goodness!
that's all he comes with... Raise your hand if you're feeling ripped off!

1.0

He has a tambourine!! and looks very 200X-Like!

Overall:
Mr. Snake-Duncan gets a  3.0 and it's mostly due to the lack of accessories. He's almost in Stratos Levels... or you can say he is on Zodac levels...
He has 2 accessories: One for him and one for King Hssss, compared to NORMAL Man-at-Arms who had:
-Extra head ('stache vs no 'stache)
-Secret Techno Sword for He-Man or KG
-Mace
-Gun
-Short Sword
Luckily for me, I have a spare gun and sword form the first Weapons pack... Now don't get me wrong, he's a really great figure (gives me a 200x Look for MAA which I prefer) but the lack of accessories for a figure that is simply a new head DOES suck a bit!
