I received my Moss Men. Good thing I got two. One has a face that’s misaligned with the hairline, with a noticeable gap. Also has a dot of paint on his nose, same color as the eyebrows. The second has a better face to hair alignment, but a random orange splotch of paint in his hair! Creations has been shoddy QC for me lately.
Aside from that, he’s nice. I can confirm that the body is the same as deluxe Beast Man. That actually takes some of the luster off of him for me. I do expect reuse in this line. But I thought this was a new body.
There’s a ton of plant armor on him that helps distinguish him from Beast Man. He has different hands and feet too, and obviously the head. The loincloth is new and not removable. The shoulder armor, bicep wraps, forearm wrap and bracer, shin wraps and belt with knife sheathe are all removable, though some parts like the shin wraps require removing the feet.
He has a nice new club, a dagger, and an alternate hand that is extended vines. I’m hoping the vine hand accessory from wave one Moss Man is compatible but I’m pretty sure those older figures used smaller wrist pegs.
His package bio says this is a Moss Man that’s been fragmented in his personality, more of a wild force rather than guardian of flora. He’s lost his mind. That made me sad.
So while I dig his imposing size, apparently he’s not as new as I’d hoped. It makes it feel like there’s less value for my buck, since I remember deluxe Beast Man getting discounted. He does look different enough with the new armor, even bigger than dx Beast Man, so that’s a positive. This one will go with my New Eternia figures.
