It came from the Toy Chest: wasted slot thanks to Neitlich...

I am referring to Filmation Hordak. Blah blah blah blah Ruthless leader of the evil horde... Neitlich screwed up by giving us a Vintage Hordak in Filmation colors for MOTUC. Had he spared so.e expenses for a new head and armor, we wouldn't be with this wasted slot...

Articulation:
Standard for a Super7 club Grayskull (minus ab crunch), but with loose thighs and ankles... Waist was stuck on mine. Paint on the belt fused to the torso. I was crapping my pants as I attempted to separate the fusion without breaking the figure.
2.5


Paint and Sculpt:
The Sculpt is really nice, but I feel his cowl is a smidge too small for his head. Paintwork, I had to retouch mine. (Accidentally deleted the pics before repainting his head.) He had weird gray splotches on his head and his nostrils were unpainted. Using the last of my black Gundam paint pen (that I bought to retouch webbing on some Spidey figures for my brother. Etched webs superior, tampo'd webs inferior.) To paint his nostrils and give some shading to the lines in his jaw. This improves him a little bit, but it was something I shouldn't have had to do.
2.5


Accessories:
-Imp
-Imp chest transformation
-cannon arm
He should've come with 2 cannon arms.
The imp only has head articulation and the chest cannot be opened.
4.0

Overall:
Hordak gets a 3.0 as his final score. I'll welcome a third party cast of that head for the MOTUC Failmation Hordak. At least that one can stand properly. At least my figure is a bit ASS, but I'm not sure how widespread my issues are. It's a horrible shame that these issues happen, but they did and hopefully they'll be fixed for wave 2.

It came from the Toy Chest: teething is hard.

Fangor is the new Snake grease monkey. Brand new character who likes tinkering with junk to make Snake vehicles and stuff.

Articulation:
Pretty much standard MOTUC fare here. No stuck or loose joints on him... Lucky!!
4.5


Paint and Sculpt:
He was originally going to be a bunch of kitbashed parts, but with the factory problems, Super7 had to do new pieces that look like older parts. Somehow they were able to make the theoretically old parts feel fresh again... His claws feel a bit more Stabby than Mattel-made versions. Love the paintwork on the figure, though there is some sloppy work on his left greave. Shame that Super7 keeps gluing the armors. He seems to have a new torso hidden away.
4.5

Accessories:
-sword
-hammer
-wrench
-screwdriver
-winged buddy
-extra head
Ends up with a 5.0 here for obvious reasons.

Overall:
Fangor gets a 4.66 as his final score. There isn't much to say about him, seeing he's a virtual unknown, but looks badass and expands the Snake roster.
