@Carnivius Preordered both of these! After missing Battle Armor Skeletor and seeing the after market prices for him, I didn't want a repeat of that.

I'm hoping the claws are articulated but that might be over optimistic.

@mediocre_mik

Yeah I don't think they are. They're for slashing. :P

Still overall an improvement on the vintage Terror Claws which has always been my least fave Skelly

@mediocre_mik

The jaw appears to be though. Hard to see in most pics, but the back of the box shows it open. :)

@Carnivius For sure. Some of the camera angles of the promo shots got my hopes up though. Just liked the idea of Terror Claws Skeletor giving He-Man the middle finger! Yeah, I'm a grown up!

I think the jaw is articulated too. I've got the Bone Throne + Skeletor and really like they added the articulated jaw there. It's such a small detail but makes a huge difference!

@mediocre_mik The jaw is SO MUCH FUN. Masterverse has done it before on the 40th Anniversary (but not the recent Vintage Skelly that's largely reuse of that figure) and Battle Armor Skeletor (:D)

Origins has one with a movable jaw, the Skelly that came with Screech. :)

Oh and the new Lords of Power inspired Masterverse Beast Man has a movable jaw too.

@Carnivius I've seen people online groaning about "not another Beast Man", but I think he looks totally awesome here. The articulated jaw really is the cherry on the cake too!

Recently watched a review of that Origins Skelly and the reviewer was all excited about the jaw so it's not just us!

@mediocre_mik yeah it's fine. I just, I dunno. I think maybe I explained before, I don't know who this Beast Man is supposed to be. If it said Lords of Power on the box then great as he's definitely based on that version. But it says New Eternia and shows the same Beast Woman on the side of the box that appears on the box of New Eternia 'Shaman' Beast Man. Are they the same Beast Man (they look very different) or the Shaman died and the new guy took over as Beast Man, or what? I don't know.

@Carnivius Yeah sorry, you probably did. My short term memory is dreadful!

I think in all but name he is a Lords of Power variant isn't he? Plus my take on the New Eternia line is that it's all really loose as far as continuity goes. Mind you, I take your point about the Beast Woman teases in the box art!
