It Came from the Toy Chest: The Eternian Book Thief

It's time for another FILMATION figure.
I'm talking about Batros. His single Episode is The Great Books Mystery. The infamous Temple of the Sun makes another appearance.

I guess we should crack him open and discuss this Bat. uh man...


 Articulation:
He has the same articulation as a standard MOTUC Figure.
The new Winged Biceps do not hinder the articulation too much.
4.5

Paint and Sculpt:
The Sculpt is amazing and it reuses a TON of parts. The new parts are what put Batros over the top and make him better. The paints are what knock him off a little bit. The paint on his wings is a bit sloppy.
4.5

Accessories:
Here is where the ball was dropped big time. there is only ONE Accessory for Batros and mine came warped as heck! Worst part is that it's not even related to Batros AT ALL! It's simply a repainted Spikor Mace.
1.0

Overall:
Batros gets a 3.33 as his final score. The main reason for that is how shoddy his single Accessory was. If they needed parts reuse, they could have used Snake Face's Snakes in white and new Forearms for them to plug into and simulate Batros doing his Snake Magic.
Seriously, even a pile of Books as a mini Diorama would have been welcome. Now don't get me wrong, the mace looks cool in those colors. It's just that he only got a Mace?



Here he is as naked as he can be!
