It’s All In Skeletor’s Head!
If you’ve read any of my previous Mega Construx Masters of the Universe set reviews, you know that I am entirely in love with them. So far I have only been reviewing larger sets, most of which come with multiple figures. I also have a figure set that I will eventually review as well, but it’s packed away in my Hurricane Laura storage building and I’m not sure exactly where it is at the moment.
The Trap Jaw set that I am reviewing today is fun from the word go. It’s a simple build with only seventy-six pieces, but it’s a great little build that adds to the growing Mega Construx MOTU line. What I love best about this build is the container. It’s literally a small Skeletor head that’s jam-packed with all of the pieces for the build. There are three Skeletor heads in the line so far, with one being the traditional head with a purple hood, a second head that has a purple hood with a glow-in-the-dark face, and a final head that features a black hood and a golden Skeletor face. Each set features a different figure: Trap Jaw, Fisto, and He-Man.
The instructions are standard for Mega Construx sets and easily guide builders of all ages to completion. The Trap Jaw figure can be a bit of a pain as his jaw is a separate piece that can easily be lost (I almost lost the piece in my set). He also comes with four arm attachments that can be swapped out on his robotic arm. The four attachments are a claw, a hook, a fly swatter, and a laser gun.
The set also includes a laser turret cannon and a control center complete with a monitor. The cannon can turn side to side and be angled up or down. It features a firing laser with two laser bolts. The control center’s monitor includes a view of a planetary system. The turret cannon can be placed on the purple display platform along with Trap Jaw and the control center tucks nicely into the back of Skeletor’s head.
You can break down the cannon and control center and store them inside Skeletor’s head along with the Trap Jaw figure. You can also set the head on your desk at work if you want to impress your friends! I’m tempted to pick up the other two sets in this series, as all three Skeletor heads are pretty impressive.
If you have any other sets in this line, you already know how much fun they are to build. This small set is a nice build that looks wonderful and doesn’t take that long to build. Thanks for checking out my quick review, I’ll see you again real soon!
