One of the most annoying things about the 2003 \"Battle Fist<\/a>\" figure was that he didn't come with the sword the Four Horsemen designed for him. In fact, the only evidence of its existence was a piece of comic art:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, Mattel made up for it with the 2010 release of the Masters of the Univese Classics<\/i> Fisto<\/a>. Like many of their MOTUC<\/i> releases, Fisto had MO2K-inspired extras in the form of a second head, a fancy belt, and the long-awaited massive sword! And dang if that sword doesn't look just as good with the 2003 figure as it does with the 2010 one:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Not only can the figure hold the sword's handle pretty well, it's also sized perfectly to fit in the back of his armor - this sort of mixing of accessories is something the Horsemen had experience with before<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I still think that making the Classics figures uninspired '80s updates is a bad idea, but Fisto at least has a little bit of merit, thanks to the inclusion of the sword. It's just a shame there's no way to get it separately, because that really is the only thing with any appeal here.<\/p>\n

Anybody want to buy a MOTUC<\/i> Fisto? It's totally complete (except for one accessory)...<\/p>\n
