It came from the Toy Chest... He wants to get his Rock off...

I am talking of the New Adventures evil Mutant Quakke... Wankor hasn't been made in Classics, unless we count a certain time traveling palace Guard... (Wait, Nefty-kun/Disc-ord is a custom... How many of you thought this was a jab against Spector/Toyguru? Please let me know in the comment section.) He's the third Collector's Choice figure that I'm reviewing. He's also the reason Why I got this order... Please don't suck like Teela...

Who is Quakke? He's one of the Space Mutants. He delivered Grr to Skeletor (as a sort of test to see the Evil One's mettle). He also has this huge ass mace that can shake the Earth (before the Honeymoon)

Articulation:
He has the Standard Mattel-made Articulation, but he was made by Super7. No added wrist hinges for him. Mine has a frozen right shoulder. His left thigh is a bit too loose, which makes him a bit hard to stand in wider poses, especially with his weapon. Not to mention that his right arm articulation is slightly hindered by his armor in addition to the frozen joint.
3.5

Paint and Sculpt:
Here is where Quakke shines. The Sculpting on him is amazing. The essence of the character was decently captured, though he might have been better with slightly beefier arms. There is no slop on my figure, so he passes with flying colors.
5.0
Why does he keep stabbing me in the dick?

Accessories:
Mace
Quake inducing meteor.
Here is where my biggest beef with the figure lies. His staff is too wimpy to hold the extremely heavy Meteor. He has three "secret holes" where the mace grabs into the meteor. I try to set him up for pics and the heavy Meteor makes him topple before I can grab the phone to take the pics.
We need a lighter weight version of it. And every time it fell it also made Nefty-kun fall down cause it rattled the TV tray I'm using for the pics.
3.0

Overall:
Quakke gets a 3.83 as his final score, which is a decent score for a figure with so many limitations. Had his shoulder not been frozen, he would've dates better. My only REAL GRIPE with the figure is the mace issue. What's the point of having a mace that he can't use due to the excessive weight of it.

The segregation of factions in MOTUC IS IDIOTIC!

With Power-Con's recent Exclusive blunder... (Putting Montork and Dree-Elle in Filmation packaging, Bryan Flynn has inadvertently opened the floodgates of stupidity...

There is a small group of idiots that ever since the Filmation sub-line debuted have been trying to get Filmation out of MOTUC and into the sub-line... Whining about the figures being too detailed in classics and ruining their FILMATION accurate line (that debuted 2 years ago vs MOTUC who is on YEAR 10) Let that sink in for a minute...

The morons are demanding that the A, B, C, D, E, F, and all the way to Z-LISTERS from Filmation to be released in Club Grayskull.
Got it? OK... There's a rumor that 2019 is the last year that Super7 will have the MOTU License for action figures... Mainly due to the movie... (Not to mention licensing costs likely to increase... Movie + the DreamWorks and Netflix She-Ra show might throw a couple of wrenches on Super7's way...) and Super7 has had a bunch of timing issues so they might be only able to do two more waves tops, based on the delays for waves 1 and 2...

These bozos WANT their Crackers the Clown, Chef Allen, and Danavas in the Filmation variants sub-line, when they don't even have Prince Adam, Orko, Cringer... A-List Characters who even show up on the intro... Or Key heroic warriors like Ram Man, Stratos, King Randor and Queen Marlena. See what I'M getting at?

These nincompoops are begging for a repeat of the Thundercats Classics Blunder by Mattycollector just to spite MOTUC fans who want the most diverse lien...

But they do a LOT of Mental gymnastics. They've been trying to use the "better sales numbers" of the Filmation variants sub-line vs. MOTUC... Yeah, because A-LIST variants of a new partially different styled line is the same thing as obscure mini comic characters from a 10 year old line. Not only that, they think that the Super7 deal is an in saecola seculorum thing.

Here's the thing: They need to pick their fights better. I COULD SEE THE LOGIC if The core Characters were already made. (I would not agree with it, but I could see their point) all I see is ONE or Two waves left and we have 6 super important characters missing:
Heroic Warriors:
Adam
Stratos
Ram Man

Evil Horde:
Mantenna
Leech
Grizzlor

We'd need at least two more non-corrosive heroic warriors to compensate for the Power-Con Exclusives, so I suggest: Mekaneck and Fisto. (Or swap them for Randor and Marlena if you want to go for core core core.)

That makes a sorta complete set.
If the line ends and we're stuck with Z-LISTERS like Danavas, Crackers, or Zagraz instead of core Characters it would be a gigantic ball of crap that would make Goldblum's pile look tiny.
