Sectaurs Series One First Look

0 Views

The Warriors of Symbion are again, because of the Nacelle Firm, and Dragon and Stellara are main the way in which.

Sectaurs was a type of traces that I used to be fully unaware of after I was a child. Debuting in 1985, the short-lived cartoon was supported by a reasonably unbelievable motion determine line. I say that as one who had not turn into conscious of them till I used to be a “grown up”, however I can inform you this, I’d have been over the moon about Sectaurs after I was a wee lad.

Which is why it’s fairly superior that they’re being introduced again now as a part of the bigger (and constructing) Nacelle-verse. Just like the G.I. Joe Categorized Sequence, I really feel lucky that, whereas I didn’t get to gather the classic line because it occurred, I’m glad to have the ability to gather this contemporary incarnation, as a result of the figures are fairly good. They’re a bit totally different than most figures in traces which are modern interpretations of previous toy traces, however if you’re a Sectaurs fan, previous or new, I believe you’ll get pleasure from these figures.

When it comes to appears and aesthetics, these new figures are slavishly true to the originals, and I recognize that. YES, the sculpting is up to date with some trendy sensibilities and nice particulars, however these figures elicit the previous line effortlessly, and assume that Sectaurs aficionados will recognize that. Moreover, these figures are SOLID. They’re very properly made with nice building and robust joints, in order that they actually stability the trendy sensibilities. Moreover, the paint may be very clear on each figures, and the airbrushing (significantly on Stellara) is particularly good.

The equipment are nice too, and Sword of Skall is especially vital as a result of it’s so iconic, particularly inside that KILLER Sectaurs emblem. Just like the figures themselves, the equipment have a really retro really feel to them, and that features the stable colour paint jobs. I’m torn on this as I do recognize the added particulars that extra paint functions can carry, however the weapons do look nice of their darkish gold visage.

I’ll say, that whereas there are some good trendy joint configurations on these figures like double knees and (ostensibly) double elbows, I want there was extra articulation added in different places. I fully perceive – articulation schemes impression perform AND type, and infrequently instances, the latter is held in larger regard and articulation is adjusted accordingly. We see that in traces on a regular basis, and that’s completely high-quality, and infrequently instances agree with a lot of these selections.

That mentioned, I DO with there was some extra/higher factors in some locations. The necks are twist solely, and I actually with the heads had a ball joint in addition to posing is proscribed by the dearth thereof. In direction of that finish rocker ankle joints, wrist hinges, and thigh (or boot) cuts could be very useful for posing right here as properly. Like I mentioned, I fully perceive wanting to maintain articulation in test for the sake of the look or ethos of line, however I believe it may be balanced.

Because it stands although, these will slot in GREAT with all of you favourite nostalgia traces like MOTU Classics, ThunderCats ULTIMATES!, and many others., so I believe many collectors can be glad to welcome these into their collections, so DO NOT SLEEP ON THEM. BBTS has them available for pre-order, so go getcha some.

DARGON

Dargon is the logical alternative for being within the first collection, and he’s retro in one of the simplest ways. I believe he would be the one individuals who simply need just a little Sectaurs illustration of their assortment can be after. For you followers on this for every thing, he is an excellent begin to this line.

Dargon’s equipment embrace:

Sword of Skall
Protect of Skall
Twin Venguns
Slazor

STELLARA

How cool is it that Stellara is on this first wave. A un-produced or “misplaced” determine from the times of yore, this warrior of the Shining Realm is a superb new/previous addition to Symbion. I REALLY love the colours on this figures and the shiny armor and airbrushing make her so dynamic.

Stellara’s equipment embrace:
