\"\"<\/a>It appears we\u2019re actually going to have a complete Terrax to review eventually, but it is slow going getting there.\u00a0 Noisy\u2019s still looking for a blue Ghost Rider, but our biggest obstacles are the characters neither of us really want… Enter Klaw!<\/p>\n

Ulysses Klaw is a scientist that created a sonic emitter capable of transforming sound waves into physical mass, but there was a catch – he needed vibranium to power his device. That brought him into conflict with the Chief of Wakanda and a battle that resulted in Chief T’Chaka’s death and the loss of Klaw’s right hand after being attacked by T’Chaka’s son, T’Challa (you might know him better as Black Panther). <\/p>\n

Klaw replaced his hand with the sonic emitter and surfaced as a supervillain, often coming into conflict with the Fantastic Four, the Avengers, and, understandably, Black Panther. Through the years, he underwent other changes including the destruction of his human body and being converted to pure sound. He played an important role in Secret Wars<\/em> and is still causing havoc around the Marvel Universe whenever a writer calls upon him. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Klaw\u2019s figure is an interesting mix of simplicity and detail.\u00a0 I\u2019m not sure if the body is a new sculpt, but it\u2019s a perfect basic superhero \u201cbuck\u201d.\u00a0 His legs and arms have a muscular sculpt to them, while his chest is totally ripped with bulging pecs and a six pack.\u00a0 But these details aren\u2019t so overly stated that they become distracting.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

His head and sonic claw are brand new sculpts.\u00a0 The head is in a screaming pose with just enough detail to look dramatic, but not so much that it looks out of place on the body.\u00a0 But his sonic claw is an incredibly intricate piece that really stands out from the organic looking figure with its industrial design.\u00a0 It\u2019s much more impressive in person than the promotional pictures lead me to believe.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The feeling of simplified organics with complex mechanics is also continued in the figure\u2019s paint job.\u00a0 Nearly the entire body is molded red, with a touch of purple and black to break up the monotony.\u00a0 They did a great job of giving Klaw a Kirby feel with all those zigzag lines and that mechanical mouth guard piece.\u00a0 But again the detail is shown off most by his sonic hand, which was given a nice dry brush look.\u00a0 This gives it a nice weathered metal feel and brings a focal point of realism to this vibrantly colored figure.\u00a0 Continue to page 2…<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Klaw\u2019s articulation is pretty standard for Marvel Legends.\u00a0 His head, shoulders, wrist, hips, and ankles are all swivel hinges.\u00a0 His chest is a single hinge, while his elbows and knees are double hinges.\u00a0 He\u2019s also got swivel joints on his biceps, waist, and thighs.\u00a0 The claw itself is actually sculpted to his forearm and doesn\u2019t move at all.\u00a0 I\u2019m still not a big fan of those ML hips, but at least they\u2019re a lot easier to move around.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Klaw comes with no accessories of his own.\u00a0 He doesn\u2019t really need any, but it would have been nice if his sonic hand were removable.\u00a0 Buying too many Japanese figures has also given me the taste for special effects parts.\u00a0 A little beam of energy that could attach to his claw would have also been cool to have.\u00a0 Unfortunately it probably would have pushed his cost too high.<\/p>\n

Klaw does come with Terrax\u2019s left leg though.\u00a0 Just a couple more pieces!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Considering I have no love for the character, I\u2019m actually pretty happy with the figure.\u00a0 He\u2019s got a fantastic bright red and purple Kirby deco.\u00a0 His face has a sculpt that could be various emotional states.\u00a0 But the really impressive part is his sonic hand, which fittingly draws your eye to his most dangerous point with all its detail.\u00a0 All around Klaw\u2019s a pretty nice figure to pick up, especially if you just bought him to pick up the Terrax leg.<\/p>\n
