I do are likely to cycle by means of hyper-fixations and lately I’ve been actually targeted on G.I. Joe and Common Monsters, so the Operation: Monster Power line has hit an opportune second for me. The second wave of figures dropped lately and options numerous zombies, so immediately we’re going to check out one in all them, the Apophis Legion Counter Terrorism Unit Trooper.
The packing containers are of a very nice high quality with thick cardstock, brightly printed photographs and a cool comedian that explains the character origins. Principally, these guys are troopers who had been despatched to combat the Forgotten King who had been killed, reanimated, and finally managed by him.
The determine comes with a ton of stuff together with two weapons (rifle and pistol), 4 blast results, a number of units of palms (gloved fist, pistol, grip, and open in addition to zombie pistol and grip palms), three heads, two necks, a helmet, ear items, a masks, a knife, a sheathe, a walkie, nightvision, a beret, and an additional journal.
The determine itself has a removeable vest and that vest has peg holes so the grenades, communicator, and pouches could be swapped and moved round for issues just like the knife sheathe or the pouch for the walkie. There’s a plate on the entrance that may eliminated as nicely and there are two included with the identical image, only one is extra battle-damaged.
The helmet is modular and there’s a masks piece that attaches to holes above the ears. There may be evening imaginative and prescient gear that may plug right into a gap within the entrance and hinge down. and there are additionally particular person ear items that may connect to the helmet. They’re slightly fiddly to get in there, however have stayed on as soon as I acquired them connected.
The three included heads can all put on the helmets and between the totally different helmets, hat and head, you may obtain all kinds of appears to be like. The blast results connect securely to the weapons and look very nice backlit.
The weapons have a pleasant stable heft to them with sharp sculpting and a great deal of element paint for a bit extra realism than we see from Hasbro of their equally scaled Categorized line.
The zombie portraits are splendidly gory and every terrible element is highlighted with sickly gloss pink. I particularly just like the grey-ish inexperienced pores and skin tone because it recollects a few of my favourite outdated remco Common Monsters figures. They included a zombie pores and skin neck and palms and even the palms have a little bit of gore to them.
The determine is splendidly sculpted and shares some components with earlier releases like Declan Van Helsing and the Delta Crimson troopers, however there may be loads of new stuff to point seeping wounds, to not point out the three glorious zombie portraits. The articulation follows the usual for this line, which is analogous to G.I. Joe Categorized, however with a lot better vary of movement on the ball joints. Articulation contains:
- Swivel/hinge shoulders, hips, wrists, ankles
- Ball and socket waist, mid-torso, decrease neck, head
- Hinged neck and butterfly pectorals
- Swivel biceps, thighs, and one boot
- Double hinged knees and elbows
The determine scales excellently with G.I. Joe Categorized and Marvel Legends and will work equally nicely as zombie SWAT guys or Cobras. The paint is improbable with the blue of the costume matching the primary two releases of the G.I. Joe Categorized Cobra troopers properly, however there’s a wash to promote the dirty zombie impact. There’s a ton of element on all of the little buckles and clips on the belt and vest as nicely a ton of grotesque zombie wound element.
General, this can be a welcome addition to the Monster Power line that may very well be helpful with numerous different collections too. The determine itself feels of a really stable, prime quality with helpful and tight articulation and the additional items permit for quite a lot of appears to be like for military constructing. They’re slightly dear for military constructing at round $40.00, however I really feel like there may be numerous worth for the cash right here.
