There's a reason Zedd clipped his wings.
Speaking of Ranger villains, I had to get
Goldar too. There were two versions available, one with Wings, and one without them, as Zedd punished him. I thought wings were the way to go....
I might've been wrong.
The sculpt is pretty much perfect. His armor has all the right
details in all the
right places, and the headsculpt
matches the show 1:1. The problem is the paint. There's a lot of sculpted parts, like below his arms, that are sculpted in the
facsimile of a leathery material, and they should be painted red or maroon. They didn't paint it at all, leaving it as
unpainted gold plastic. It's not just that, some parts had a different shade of gold paint applied to them, but others didn't just because. This makes it look more like a
lazy Chinese bootleg than a collectible. He comes with his wings, his sword, an effect piece for his sword and two alternate hands. Hs wings, the reason I got this version, are
horrible. It has the gummiest pegs I've ever seen and they keep coming out of the back ports. I hate them, I opted to
remove them.
At least the articulation is up to
snuff, matching the rest of the figures in the line: Double jointed elbows and knees, hinged waist, ball jointed ab crunch, butterfly joints and swivels on his biceps, thighs and boots. You can get him looking pretty badass alright. He is a bit taller than Bucky Cap.
Great sculpt, great articulation... but very lazy paintjob. Sometimes Hasbro can get it so right, and other times they fall short of greatness out of simple
laziness.
