Advent Calendar 5: iraqi Slaughter

 


This is my Third Sgt. Slaughter figure... EVER. This is Sarge back when he turned Heel in 1991. I honestly got him because I needed to up my Sezzle score for future BBTS Preorders. But Mattel's QC managed to suck ALL enjoyment out of this figure.

Articulation 
If Mattel's QC hadn't had Sarge's frozen and unusable, this figure could've  gotten a 4.5 but, since MY Figure's fucked up, he gets a 3.0


Paint and sculpt 
Here Mattel does pretty well. Sergeant Slaughter looks pretty much like he did in 1991. Although his face looks slightly chubbier than it should. Maybe the only gripe one could have in the paint department is skin tone matching on his torso.
4.5


Accessories
Beret
Glasses
Riding crop
Extra pointing hands
Removable Iraqi top
Elbow or kneePads

Is a figure comes with elbow or knee pads removed I rarely put them on because usually they're a bitch to remove once again. That's why you won't see pictures of him wearing those pads.
5.0
Sarge: MOVE YOU MAGGOT! MOVE!
Nefty VO: Sarge, screaming at your leg won't fix anything.
Sagre: YOU! DROP DOWN AND GIMME 20!
Nefty VO: Sir yes sir!


Overall
Had my Sergeant Slaughter figure not being hit by Mattel's bad quality control, he would have gotten 4.67 as a final score. Since quality control issues make the figure less enjoyable, he gets 4.17 as his final score instead. It's a shame that the figure is basically a display piece and not use all due to that quality control issue because it's a really great figure.
