Un dato curioso, vean las imagenes y despues de leer, que les parece??
Junto con la pistola de color amarillo que viene con el parademon
rojo, el parademon verde viene con uno de los mejores
huevos de Pascua que he visto nunca.
Along with the same yellow blaster that came with the red parademon, the green parademon comes with one of the coolest Easter eggs I’ve ever seen.
It all goes back to Kalibak.
Kalibak’s signature weapon is his Beta Club, which Kirby usually drew
as little more than a golden, mechanical-looking club. When it came
time to add Darkseid’s ill-favored son to the 1980s Super Powers line,
the Beta Club was given a more unique desing.
Mattel and the Horseman had hoped to include both the comic-accurate
Beta Club and the Super Powers version in Wave 6, but when that didn’t
cost out, the Horsemen–with the help of Mattel’s Bill Beneke–came up
with a plan to work the SP Beta Club into Wave 8. As the Horsemen described on their website,
“We can’t take 100% of the credit for this. Sure we planned the
weapons to work out this way, but Bill Beneke over at Mattel oversaw
the whole project and made sure that the production of the weapons went
the way it was supposed to so they were interchangeable. It’s hard to
explain how difficult that would have been for Bill, but let’s just say
that the Pantographing of those items must have been a nightmare.”
The results speaks for itself. The Horsemen, Beneke and Mattel have
come up with an ingenious way to give fans this little treat.
Basically, the SP Beta Club rests in a cradle that can be held by the
parademon, creating a unique (and very Kirby-esque) new weapon.
However, the club can of course be removed and given to Kalibak.
But wait, there’s more! Remember the yellow pistol? Well, if you look closely, you can see it was directly inspired by a blaster from a Kirby pin-up of Kalibak–and it even includes a peg so it can be attached to Kalibak’s belt.
Oh, and he also has Giganta’s left arm.
Quality Control: Some DCUC Wave 8 figures have
loose joints, and the green parademon’s legs may be the loosest. But I
could hardly care about it when compared to sloppy paint applications,
breakage, stuck joints, swapped or repeated limbs and so forth.
For those of you who have been so angered by the bad QC on DCUC,
Wave 8 represents a major step forward. I didn’t have one problem with
breakage, stuck joints, or swapped limbs. Mattel has heard your
complaints (which were certainly fair–I’ve never claimed otherwise) and
has worked to improve them, and they deserve some credit for that.
