The first 2 of 8 of my Skull Spartans arrived today. First impressions
1. This definitely feels a lot like Hades pod; very different from your standard figure in the line. Somewhere between vehicle and character.
2. They've definitely adjusted their plastic. Its much softer than before. Old ABs were always more "Gummy" than many figures but he's even softer than that. Because of this its easier to get pegs in and I didn't have to break out the heatgun once! They are looser of a fit than their older counterparts, but not so loose as to be useless or flimsy.
3. The array of parts is actually quite good with that core piece being quite a stand out. It seems custom made for enabling larger than normal constructions by giving you a TON of peg holes and looking good from basically every angle. I was surprised that the silver topped jaw piece actually has 3 peg holes in it, all very close together. Allows for a lot of flexibility in its use.
Overall, I think its quite a good figure and will provide a lot of nice variety in terms of pieces. Its quite the evolution of earlier concepts and I'm now very excited to see what the next figure they announce will be. I mean, I always was...but I'm even more excited now.
