MOTU Classics Karatti"},"content":{"rendered":"

\"\"<\/a>Before I delve further into my growing pile of imports I thought I\u2019d get another piece of our most recent Matty box out of the way.\u00a0 So today\u2019s review is for the evil Space Mutant Karatti from the New Adventures of He-Man cartoon.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not very familiar with Karatti\u2019s character.\u00a0 Out of the few episodes I\u2019ve seen of The New Adventures of He-Man, Karatti was either not in them or he played so minor a role that I didn\u2019t even notice.\u00a0 I also didn\u2019t have the action figure as a kid.\u00a0 So the MOTU Classics figure is really my first experience with the character.<\/p>\n

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

Even though I know little about the character, it\u2019s pretty obvious he has one of the more unique looks in the MOTU-verse.\u00a0 His bright green skin and dreadlock orange hair definitely help him stand out on the shelf.\u00a0 Looking at the figure I get a heavy Predator vibe from the design.\u00a0 Well, at least a Predator that\u2019s been reimagined by Roger Corman.<\/p>\n

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

Karatti only has a few new parts, the head being the most predominant.\u00a0 His weird lumpy forehead and dreadlock hair are interesting, but I think his mouth guard is my favorite part.\u00a0 Not only does it have a neat mix of mechanical and animal features, but there are also some great battle damage details.<\/p>\n

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

Karatti\u2019s other new pieces are his upper and lower torso armor.\u00a0 The Four Horsemen did another great job of recreating the original action figure\u2019s clothing.\u00a0 The armor itself looks like it\u2019s made out of various metal plates that have been bolted and welded together.\u00a0 The front has some interesting hoses and panels, with what appears to be purple spandex underneath.\u00a0 (I guess that cuts down on the chaffing.)\u00a0 The back has an interesting canister with tubes coming out of it and a little pouch on his butt (y\u2019know, for carrying space coins).\u00a0 Just like his mask, Karatti\u2019s armor has a fun amount of battle damaged scarring and pockmarks that really add the figure\u2019s character.\u00a0 Continue to page 2…<\/a><\/p>\n

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

The rest of Karatti\u2019s body is made out of a standard MOTU torso and shoulders, with Trap Jaw\u2019s armored arms and legs rounding out the extremities.\u00a0 Just when I think I\u2019m getting tired of seeing these specific pieces, a figure like Karatti comes out and I realize they can still look pretty good.\u00a0 Somehow his new body armor just meshes really well with them.<\/p>\n

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

Karatti comes with two accessories, both of which came with his original figure.\u00a0 The first, and coolest, is a blaster that also doubles as an axe.\u00a0 I really like that the Space Mutants have duel purposes for their weapons.\u00a0 It gives them a bit more of a dangerous edge, which they sorely need.\u00a0 The other thing I really like about this axe\/gun is how it\u2019s held against the arm.\u00a0 That\u2019s just cool looking.<\/p>\n

Karatti\u2019s other weapon is a dagger.\u00a0 This is a much more traditional looking piece, but it still has an interesting pirate-like design.\u00a0 The dagger also has a guard on the hilt so that it can be loosely held by the open Trap Jaw left hand.<\/p>\n

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

Since I\u2019m not as familiar with the New Adventures mythos, I have not expectations to dash.\u00a0 This is probably one of the reasons why I\u2019ve been pretty thrilled with all of the Space Mutants so far, with Karatti being my new favorite.\u00a0 My only real complaint is the lack of a clip on his back to store a weapon.\u00a0 But the figure\u2019s unique head and armor definitely give him some character and help him stand out on the shelf.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t even mind the reuse of the Trap Jaw parts.\u00a0 I just hope that the majority of Space Mutants won\u2019t be wearing them.<\/p>\n
