Masters of the Universe Classics Trap-Jaw to be precise.
I didn't have the original Trap-Jaw as a kid. My cousin did, and I always thought he was an awesome figure. I did finally get the commemorative reissue in the early 2000s, so when I heard MOTUC was releasing an updated (but classically designed) Trappy, I knew he had to be mine!Trap-Jaw epitomizes everything that was (and still is) cool about Masters of the Universe. He's a pirate/cyborg/wrestler/alien/barbarian/...football player?... hybrid creature with cybernetic arm components that can be switched out on a whim. And not only that, those components can be hooked to his belt when not in use (just like the original!)
And also just like with the original, MOTUC's Trap-Jaw has a hinged jaw!
Unlike the original, this version of Trap Jaw has an elbow on his robotic arm. This is a nice update, and works seamlessly with the design to the point that you swear this is the toy you were playing with as a kid. Even his helmet loop is there so Trap-Jaw can swing down "hands free" onto unsuspecting Eternians!Although anyone who did that as a kid will attest to the fact that string + friction = a cut helmet loop. So I wouldn't suggest you recreate the move with this guy.
Trap Jaw comes with all the same arm attachments as his original - the clamp, the laser gun, and the hook. In the case of the MOTUC Trap-Jaw, the clamp even opens and closes!
And as if all that wasn't enough to sell die-hard MOTU fans on this figure, Trap-Jaw even comes with an extra arm and an extra head, so you can recreate Kronis - or as I like to call him, Pre-op-Jaw!
"I came to Thailand for a hooker..."
"...and left with a hook! And my wallet is missing too! Dammit!!!!"
this is the one figure that got away from me...thanks Mattel.
ReplyDeleteNow I wish I got him, instead of the extra Battle Cat safety net. man i have problems.
ReplyDeleteThe joke at the last part cracked me up. LOL
ReplyDeleteI can't seem to figure out how to get the head off (no pun intended) and his arms off. WTF? I feel like I'm going to break him! I loved Trapjaw as a kid, he was one of my all time favorite MOTU characters...BUT..I used to swing him from a string that I had tied in my den and his helmet loop was always intact. I think maybe you were too rough with the little blue guy. Now, how do you get that head off? lol
ReplyDeleteBeen reading and watch videos of all of these new MOTU toys that they are doing and i think they are fantastic but to me it kind of sucks that they are MattyCollector.Com exclusives i mean i understand way there are that way but it would be neat just to be able to go to the stores and get these....I guess am lucky in the fact that they are doing those He-Man vs Superman and Lex Luthor and Skeletor two packs for Toys R Us i plan on getting those at lest.
ReplyDeleteI miss He-Man!
