I mentioned it in the Power-Con thread so I'll mention it here as well. From a design perspective, I honestly see many problems with him:
Although I really like the blaster design, I find that it is too small for the holster. When I look at the holster, the size suggests that it holsters a hand-cannon. Unless it is suppose to hold both the blaster and the knife at the same time, it’s just too big. I also like the armband will have an interchangeable plug-in energy blade and whip.
The spade of the chest and the diamond shapes over his eyes suggest he may have a playing card motif. I would actually either play up the card/spade motif or remove the spade altogether as I find it looks out of place. I would actually play it up as it could lead to many interesting playing card/spade influences. For example, incorporate all suits into his design and maybe include suit-themed equipment (a club-shaped club, a diamond sword, gimmick cards, a grappling hook/raygun with a heart as the tip, spade dagger). Maybe give his costume colour a back of a playing card pattern. Also, give him a playing card themed name (Poker Face, as you can’t see his face).
I find him very monochromatic as well. Maybe using more trap-jaw parts may help with that. I would also make the metal colour of the boots and wrist guard a brighter or a different colour. I would either make the yellow parts gold like the Triklops armband or make the armband yellow as there is no point in having both. For some reason, the colours on the concept shown work and look better than they do on the figure. That’s the (weird) nature of things. Here’s the concept of it:http://he-man.org:81/forums/boards/show ... ost2830665
In the end, considering that this figure received no reaction whatsoever was shown during the presentation, The Mighty Spector isn’t a bad figure per say, it just has a weak design that I’m not comfortable nor pleased about paying $20+ dollars for as I bought the sub.
I tried to be as constructive as possible with my criticism.
This isn’t meant to be an attack on TG. If it does come of as that, then I apologize.
