Trying too hard will result in breaking plastic, so don't. He can't fold his feet in, the pink plastic of his lower legs doesn't allow it. According to the instruction sheet they're folded in when he's transformed into vehicle mode, but apparently that was the prototype. Transformation: I don't normally include notes on the transformation of the figure(s), but in this case there are two things I want to mention. To me a tad better than Skids, but that's just a matter of opinion. So all in all Mudflap's a pretty decent robot, too. Detailing is also quite good and while his paint job seems a tad more boring than Skid's, it's still okay and not worth complaining about. His big feet make for a pretty solid platform, allowing him to pull off a few dynamic poses.
And if you're feeling funky, you can extend parts of the hull-pieces on his back as giant wings.ĭespite his kibble Mudflap is fully posable with no restrictions worth mentioning. He does make it look better than Deluxe Mudflap, though, and with his heavy-set legs and broad chest he carries off a very powerful look. He's pretty much a shell former, the outer hull of the vehicle hangs off his back in various parts of kibble. Mudflap mirrors his Deluxe incarnation as well in that he carries a much bigger backpack than Skids. His head can be obscured from certain angles by the white knob sitting at the top of the truck's grill, but apart from that there is nothing particularly bothersome about the design, either. Apart from that Skids is about as detailed as you can expect from a scout-class figure, so no complaints on that front. In Skid's case it's the right hand that's 'real', in Mudflap's the left. One interesting thing that both Skids and Mudflap share: They each have one actual hand set on a wrist joint, while the other arm just features a hand sculpted into the inside of the arm. Posability is quite good, though arm movement is a bit hampered by the big shoulder wheels. Not as big as the one carried by his Deluxe incarnation, but still big. He carries the driver's cabin of the truck on his back, folded up into a big rucksack.
#ICE CREAM SKIDS AND MUDFLAP MOVIE#
I'm still not a fan of his head design, but it's movie accurate. His massive upper body seems a bit out of proportion to his rather short, thin legs, but overall he looks okay. Skids emerges from the front of the ice cream truck and has a more or less standard hood-as-chest design. Both are about the same height, though Mudflap is by far the more massive of the two. Robot Mode: Skids and Mudflap are two scout-sized robots that combine in vehicle mode only. For more pictures, click on the image above
