#654 Motu - Sy-Klone Vs. Spikor (1985)

Sy-Klone too Spikor are 2 of the figures I continue since my childhood, too hence are with my favorites.

From my betoken of view, Spikor is based on an amazing concept, has a bully activity characteristic (I include.here its plastic spike skin) too an impressive coloring too accesory. I similar everything inward this figure, for event the cool caput with spikes too xanthous eyes, which give it a really menacing look. The extendable fork/hand inward combination with the twist waist is likewise great. Spikor´s skin, unfortunately, is after too then many years a fleck fragile. One of the spikes nearly cruel spell I was cleaning it, too I had to gum it with superglue. I volition live really careful with the figure from at i time on.
By the way... for the variant collectors. This figure of Spikor is Made inward France.

Something similar tin live said of Sy-Klone, every bit a kid I loved its coloring combination with yellow/blue/red. Very basic colours. Today I am non too then fond of it, only I yet honey its activity feature, too its futuristic await with the icon on its breast too the telephone over its head. The kickoff version I had was bought inward Kingdom of Spain (marked "France") too had soft head. The versions with soft caput tin live commonly constitute without the ruby telephone over it. When biting the caput (yes, nosotros all did that), the telephone tended to autumn off. Later I got a hard caput version (not marked with whatever Country of Origin - "No COO") inward which that same telephone is much to a greater extent than hard to detach. Its exclusively accesory was a circular xanthous shield.

I intend this figure would afterwards inspire Tornadorr/Spinwit, that featured a similar move, but, inward my opinion, made perfect.

Both figures larn about additional points for its ain designed trunk cast, making them really unlike from all the others. This is for me a really of import thing.
