It Came from the Toy Chest: Lightning Collection Yellowdar

Or Grifforzer in his Japanese Super Sentai name. I'm talking about Goldar, THE MMPR Henchman. The dude has an ax to grind with Tommy and Jason. He's a Gamestop exclusive...




Articulation:
He's VERY Articulated. I'd say he's MORE Articulated than a Marvel Legend! And for a Bigger guy, he has a rather large range of Articulation.
5.0

Paint and Sculpt:
The Sculpt is amazeballs! Goldar LOOKS Like Goldar! I have NO complaints there... Paintwise, here's where he falls apart. Hasbro used a dull Metallic Yellow as their base and barely gave him any shading.

I had to repaint mine, because I couldn't stand the plain yellow. But I still have to rate him BEFORE the repaint...
4.0

Accessories
2 Extra Hands
Sword
Energy effect
He's CLOSE to perfection, but falls short thanks to a single detail: He lacks the folded in wings  that he has at times in Season 1.
4.5

Overall:
Goldar gets a 4.5 as his Final Score. The Yellow thing really hurts his score... Other than that, he's a Kickass Figure.
Being a Gamestop Exclusive made him an even bigger PAIN in the ass to get.

For those who want to know, the paints used were FolkArt Royal Gold and Antique Gold... I know that there are much better paints, but that's what I had in-house.
