Review: Four Horsemen Power Lords Ggrapptikk Sergeant Action Figure

Every few months the Four Horsemen prepare a new release of figures, and the Ggrapptikk Sergeant took a while to reach mailboxes after it was paid for - but on the bright side, it's quite good. The previous versions were basically unpainted test shots with a splash of black painted highlights, and this release adds a little more paint and is dozens of times better for it. The price went up $2, but you get painted claws, painted spikes, painted pants, little computer elements, more paint around the face, and even a new head sculpt and a new "skirt" piece - that's a new codpiece on this fellow. If you compare it to similarly sized figures from The Outer Space Men like Cyclops, Colossus Rex, or Gamma X, even at the increased price it's unquestionably a better deal providing more bang for your buck.

Review: Four Horsemen Power Lords New York Comic Con Exclusive Ggrapptikk Grunt (Purple) Action Figure

While fundamentally similar to the pink version I reviewed last year, the Ggrapptikk Grunt (Purple) its sibling and now that we've had a few of these guys, it's worth looking at him again. I'm writing this just days after the fully-painted figures Ggrabbtargg, Ggripptogg, and Ggrapptikk went on sale giving us a grand total of 8 flavors of this mold with multiple heads so far. In short, this is a mold that mere weeks from now, a lot of fans are probably going to be ready to never ever want to buy again, but it's still a good mold - this wasn't the best version in terms of paint, but it's still charming. It just feels so, so much older than it is given the advancements in deco we've had since February.

Review: Power Lords Ophidian Squad Soldier Action Figure

The Four Horsemen are smart - they have a small loyal audience that usually doesn't complain, and are generally cool buying the same figure repainted a few times over. Given the limited edition nature of these figures, it's a necessity. The Ophidian Squad Soldier is one of six (so far) versions of this mold - and the fully-painted main characters, the updates of the original Adam Power/Lord Power, finally go on sale today.

Review: Four Horsemen Power Lords Barlowe Color Concept Ggripptogg (Grey and Black) Action Figure

Another year, another premium-priced exclusive! No doubt due to Toy Tokyo needing to make a few bucks on the item, 2014's Power Lords exclusive Ggripptogg (Grey and Black) costs nearly twice as much as a normal Ggripptogg - even the ones with added deco were only $15 each. It's a shame - not as bad as the Outer Space Men of 2012, but what are you gonna do? I bought it, and curse me kilts, it's good. This figure - and indeed everything Glyos always ever - can benefit greatly from a color change, and it turns out that the Ggripptogg body looks better with a) added paint and b) less pink. Who knew?
