Exclusive EB Review: 7093 - Skeleton Tower

[iamded]

What fig? The wizard? My Reaper? *wacko*

Sorry, I should have been specific. I meant your reaper.

I like the new skellies. I hated how the original ones had floppyassed arms.

And the dragon... a bit made for children, but MAN OH MAN does it beat crap like this, hands-down!

I guess they learned that:

A. The viking dragons didn't look ALL that great, despite dumbing-down some parts.

B. The old dinosaur as well as Dino Attack lines had USELESS replay value for mocs.

Sure, it's a bit kiddy, but there's buttloads of mocing potential in this new dragon.

As for the new cones... I'm not totally against them, as they have uses elsewhere, but here... attached to the white barbs? No. Ain't workin'. Those should be attached to the smooth type cones.

I bought this set for my son's first birthday party to display for the prince theme. He will be the knight saving the princess. I do like the way it looks, the figs it comes with like the skellies and the mage. I plan to get a few small sets and the dwarf mine too to finish it off. I have not opened the box yet as I will do that this coming weekend and do a review from that. I think I may sell the dragon though. Not something I really interested in.
