[Trivial Psychic]

Came across the new two pack for BP at TRU, and thought, why not...and picked it up.



Some thoughts:

Klaw: Holy crap, is this ever an improved update of the original figure, which was atrocious. Klaw is on the newer Spider-Man 2099 body, and has a great range of motion. In addition, his weapon arm is well sculpted, and the spiral bubble effects that we have seen reused time and time again looks great when paired with it. The head sculpt though is the best part, with a snarling, menacing look that's way better than the blow up doll or whatever it was we got on that last figure.

Shuri: Well...not sure what to say about her other than she's an upscaled (she is not on a smaller body like I thought she would be) White Tiger figure in all black with some nicely painted on boot wraps and gauntlets. The eyes though could be painted better and this was common on all of the two packs I saw today. She has all the same articulation as the standard female figure with no improvements to the body. She looks like she is wearing Rogue's belt due to the telltale X logo on the front, but I haven't grabbed my Rogue out of her bin to check. The cape and necklace are new however and we get another Kraven spear packed in as an accessory. I would have rather seen a new, unmasked head sculpt for Shuri over the spear, but other than that...that's really all there is to her. Cool if you're a fan of the character I guess, but I'm not sure if I'll be keeping her in the long run.
