Mezco Panthro Pre-Order and New Photo
Looks great, if a little too blue...I'll be waiting to buy him from TRU, since he'll inevitably be ten bucks cheaper there like Lion-O is. Should be interesting to see how much articulation he'll have. I imagine it'll be right around the same as Lion-O's.
For me, articulation on these is a secondary concern. I'm treating them like inexpensive, slightly articulated statues acting as a backdrop for the smaller figures. While the Lion-O was only okay, the Mumm-Ra and Panthro look to be greatly improved.
In the end, the articulation of these isn't important to me. The pose they've got him in for this picture will most likely be how I display him anyways. He'll make a nice centerpiece to my collection.
Yep, I'm going to have to set aside some cash for this.
Damn! Another one of these I'm going to have to buy along with Mumm-ra!
Looks pretty damn good!
