Mattel has updated their Facebook page with photos of Trap Jaw and Wun-Dar in package–and we finally discover the secret of Wun-Dar’s bio.
Wun-Dar will be mailed out automatically to all Club Members. (the subscription fee paid at sign up covers this figure). Club members will also recieve an exclusive map of Eternia which contains secrets of the Elders on the backside! These secrets can not be shared with anyone who is not a member! Anyone caught sharing them (or posting them online) will be cursed by the black magicians of the Dark Hemisphere forever! So guard these secrets with all your power!
Trap Jaw contains all the parts for Trap Jaw and Kronis. He includes an interchangable head and arm as well as three weapon attachments. His jaw opens and closes too!
You will automatically receive one Wun-Dar figure for each subscription you purchased. Subscribers will also receive a map of Eternia folded as a 10X10 square with Wun-Dar. (it folds out to 30 X 20)
My thoughts:
Trap Jaw looks great. I like the shade of blue they chose for him…seems a little more muted than Webstor’s, but it’s hard to tell. Do we know whether the claw is articulated?
I love the line “Wun-Dar became known as ‘the He-Man,’ battling in a savage way”–as opposed to the more civilized, no-one-ever-gets-hurt way of a century hence (I’m serious–who ever got hurt on the cartoon?).
But c’mon, no mention of the bread?
I wonder where they got the art for Wun-Dar? Is it new?
Anyway, February can’t get here soon enough.
I believe videogames are an art medium, one that’s already comparable–in terms of commercial success–to film, the dominant art medium of the twentieth century, (compare the sales of Halo 3 to the box office receipts of The Dark Knight). But while videogames have been around for over a third of a century, there are very few examples of games that one would, without hesitation or qualification, refer to as a work of art.
