\"Mini-Figure<\/p>\n

Open the box, Jooooooooe...!<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a>Before Mattel's mis-management led to the cancellation of MotU Minis<\/i> Series 2<\/a> (that pricepoint was a joke), Stinkor<\/a> was planned to be paired up with perhaps the worst character to face him, Buzz-Off. Bees' sense of smell is 100 times more sensitive than a human's, so he'd be extra vulnerable to Stinkor's stink. Plus bees don't see warm colors, like Stinkor's armor, very well - their strong area is in the cooler range, covering blue-green, violet, and a color humans can't even see called \"bee's purple.\"<\/p>\n

Eternia Minis<\/i> are based on the vintage designs<\/a>, not the superior \"Mo2K\" ones<\/a>, though there wouldn't be a huge difference in the two \"\"thanks to the stylization - a big bee man is a big bee man, especially since they didn't sculpt any vestigial arms for him. The legs come from Zodac<\/a>, but the rest of the sculpt has to be new. Clawful<\/a> had a similar left arm, with scales on the shoulders and spikes on the forearm, but Buzz-Off's simple brown axe has a smaller handle and thus the claw has a smaller opening. His translucent yellow wings are glued into a notch in the back, and are sculpted with a mix of tech and biological details.<\/p>\n

The Minis all move at the neck, shoulders, and waist - the shoulders may look like balljoints, but they're just swivels. If you're looking for Buzz-Off, he's in the Grayskull shell stamped underneath with a G<\/a>.<\/p>\n
