Yes, those are his muscles and tendons. Cry you heart out, Robbie Williams!
I wanted a
Lord Zedd, and there were two options: The original Wave 1 release or this re-release... well, the original had unpainted finger tips, so the choice was easy. That said, I bought him
loose because I don't care, at least at the time of me writing this, about Rita.
Well, he looks the part! Lord Zedd is an amazing
unique sculpt that Hasbro won't be able to reuse. While I would've
preferred if every silver piece was sculpted onto the mold, some of them are made out of much softer plastic that is slotted onto the figure itself, and this pieces being the ones that are tied to the light-blue cables that go alongside his body. The body itself is very detailed, with tons lines and stripes to
simulate muscle tissue. My one complaint are his
tiny feet! The figure comes with a bunch of accessories, but since I bought him loose I only go his scepter, but otherwise, he should come with an electric effect piece, and alternate set of hands and a grenade of sorts.
Zedd is no slouch in the articulation department, he has butterfly joints, bicep swivels, thigh swivels, double jointed elbows and knees, and hinged waist and a ball jointed ab crunch. He is highly articulated, only
limited by his cables.
Behold! Zedd's tiny feet. They look a bit goofy, and are my only gripe with the figure.
As it can be seen above, the cables that go from the lower spine to the wrists WILL limit some of his poses, but it's not too bad. He is a touch taller than Bucky Cap, making him taller than the Power Rangers, which I think is
really cool.
Lord Zedd is one of the greatest villain designs in the history of villains, and Hasbro captured the look
perfectly. A few things could've been done a bit better, but I feel it's mostly just me nitpicking. I love the guy!
