Write a Review link for that item. Super Naturals (Tonka)Well, that's all three. The final member of the villainous trio has arrived, and he is almost great. Right off the bat, this is the usual 4 POA spread. These are stiff, stoic figures. That said, they generally look good. The leather of his boots and the grey armor on the upper body are picked out cleanly, and a crosshatched texture does a surprisingly good job of suggesting scale mail. The chestplate is picked out beautifully in red, as are the spooky belt buckle and a few gems. This guy is just overloaded with early fantasy tropes. The visor, a slatted number with harsh angles, is hinged rather than being removable, and offers a decent glimpse of the hologram. Taking off the chestplate reveals the full image: a muscular fellow with a maniacal grin and a large bat necklace, turning into a straight-up fire elemental, straight out of a generic RPG handbook. Both look slightly caricatured, as was the style. But this thing has a third image! None of the others do. But on the periphery of the fire image, the left half of a third model is visible. It's shaped somewhat like the fire spirit, but far more gnarled and twisted. More like tree roots, or perhaps a rejected fire sculpt. It's a mystery. Accessory-wise, the hologram shield is sculpted to look like wood carved into the shape of fire. Okay then. It bears the visage of what I can only describe as "low-res 3d print of Cthulhu". It means something, probably. Lore never really happened here. Which is a shame, because I want to know why this knight, carrying a buckler, would be carrying a damn flamethrower. And not a realistic one, the kind you might see on Buck Rogers. It glows in the dark, of course, but that doesn't make it any less incongruous. Also, while it has two handles, only the foremost one will fit in his hand. It's just awkward all around. So, what do we have? A pretty sweet evil knight with holograms that raise more questions than answers, who perpetually looks like he's got someone else's weapon. A prime candidate for standing partly behind someone else. But like all the bad guys (and some of the good guys), this thing is super spooky, and that counts for a lot.   by Karl T. Face |
