It came from the Toy Chest: It's a Trap... Jaw.

The second Mini comics variant is here... Trap Jaw. Skeletor lackey with a steel jaw that can chew through most metals and interchangeable weaponry.
There isn't much that I can say about him. His mini comics version was more barbaric and green that the figure we ended up with. He also suffered from the Power-Con/Super7 issues that have been discussed ad nauseum.

Articulation:
Standard figure, standard articulation. Thighs are a bit loose. One big fail is the lack of articulation on his jaw.
I think that was a bone-headed move,
but it is what it is. We cannot turn back rhyme or time...
4.0

Paint and Sculpt:
As you can see, this trappy is waaaaay different from past versions (or future versions, since this is an earlier version)  in both paint and Sculpt. He is not totally accurate to the source material, die to the arms being different and they reused the standard Trap Jaw arm.
4.0

Accessories:
3 Trap jaw attachments. BTW they have a new peg system. Feels more Vintage MOTU than MOTUC.
4.0 (mostly because they aren't compatible with past pieces. The previous factory is to blame. They didn't want to hand over the molds to Super7 and Mattel is playing the role of Pontius Pilate)

Overall:
Trap Jaw gets a 4.0 as his score. He would've scored higher had he had an articulated jaw. Sadly, it is what it is.
