In honor of the premiere of
Power Rangers Dino Supercharge
and the brand new villain of the series, we decided to put up this gallery a little earlier than anticipated.
Spoiler alert!
The evil
Snide
is the monster form of another character named
Heckyl
who both apparently share the same body but not the same mind. But they both have one goal in common - getting the
Energems
and destroying the
Power Rangers Dino Charge
team! But how does the figure stack up?
Let's find out!
Reviewing the Overall Figure
For starters,
Snide
has a decent amount of articulation - 13 total points (1x head, 2x each arm, 2x each leg, 2x elbow and 2x knee joints). This is not a bad amount, but for a figure that wields a long sword it's somewhat disappointing that your articulation is limited because of no ankle or wrist swivels that we've come to enjoy with most of the other figures.
The sculpting? Absolutely gorgeous as we've come to expect from
Bandai America
. Sadly, again as we've come to expect, the paint application is lacking. Yes - the red decoration on the front of his body is well down (check out the pic in the gallery). And his eye and his teeth being all individually painted is impressive, but the second you flip the figure over you have a solid off-white back. I know, I know - nothing is going to change (unless he becomes a Legacy figure and costs us another $5) but I'm hoping someone somewhere reads this and sees how something that could be a top tier figure gets lessened as you feel you have to FINISH PAINTING IT YOURSELF to get the figure you're supposed to get. Argh.
A strange feature - his shoulder pads are on hinges that move up as to not block the articulation of the arms. But unlike
Sledge
's where they were further down his arm as to not interfere at all,
Snide
's are actually on the shoulders, meaning his arms cannot go straight up - they will always have to be at an angle at best.
So while the figure LOOKS cool (from the front), I wish it had wrist and ankle/thigh articulation (like the Ranger figures get) and as always, more paint.
Reviewing the Accessories
Snide
comes with a sword. We're not quite sure why (his Sentai counterpart had an axe ... but then again, he was only seen in the crossover movie and not the regular series, which is part of
Snide
's charm as he is more or less an original villain in the series). Either way the sword's hilt looks pretty normal for an evil bad guy's sword, but it has very little detail other than that.
So on to the bullet points. Yay bullet points.
The Good!
Great sculpting as always
The sword, while very ordinary, is long and doesn't feel super super bendy, but it IS fragile so beware
We can pretend this is
Zeltrax
from
Power Rangers Dino Thunder
The Bad!
Paint applications, or lack there of...
No ankle/wrist articulation
This isn't
Zeltrax
from
Power Rangers Dino Thunder
...
The Overall Conclusion
Maybe I'm being too hard on
Snide
. For a brand new mold, this character has tight joints, overall looks pretty sweet (...from the front), and is the major villain for
Power Rangers Dino Supercharge
. At the same time, when I look back at
Sledge
or
Wrench
I ask myself why we couldn't have had an ankle or wrist swivel as to better pose the sword with.
Either way, I think this figure is worthy of being in any collector's collection ... just make sure he's facing forward.
