So the cape is heavy? What is it with these companies? If this mother leans Tweeterhead us getting a surprise unsolicited donation of 2 Skeletor statues and that is putting it kindly.

As long as the weight is distributed evenly and the force goes straight down through the body into the legs, hopefully it'll be ok.

Got him today!

So many details on this, the musculature and skin texture look great and the paint app really shows it off. Though it's a single character, there's so much intricacy to lose yourself in.

But as expected, the silver armor just feels... unfinished. Or rather unjustified by the other bold colors we have: the blue skin, purple hood, and especially that glowing green skull. I think the regular portrait works best with the silver armor, but the laughing one is so much more fun and suits the triumphant pose.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record -- never mind, I'm definitely already there -- this is begging for a retro color scheme. They went delightfully over-the-top with the laughing portrait and pose, then held back on the armor color. This guy so clearly wants to pop off. He's feeling himself, he's cackling into the sky, he needs an outfit to match his energy. I'll be first in line for that. Now to decide what to do with this one...

The body is posed with the chest puffed out over the feet, so the heavy cape actually holds him back. I would've been worried otherwise.

The cape pulling the statue back is what has me concerned.

It won't pull him back. The cape inserts downward into the body and the bottom of the cape rests on the base, acting more as a support. There's nowhere for the cape (or the body) to go backward.

Well then! I thought it was hanging free. Crisis averted, back to one of the greatest statues of all time.

Blade3327, definitely agree the regular head looks better with the silver armor, and 100% hope they do a repaint with the traditional colors and it has the laughing head and the vintage action figure head as a alternate

Is the cape optional on this? I know there are holes for the pegs in his back but would the shoulder armor cover if the cape was not desired?

I think the paint application looks really great on this statue. If I could just get past the breastplate issue, it would be in my MOTU collection.
