Toy Review - Playmates 2012 Metalhead
METALHEAD - Sewer-Built Robotic Turtle Ally
Built to last, built to blast, Metalhead is a "mutant" machine like no other. Created by Donatello from salvaged Kraang tech, Metalhead is one of the Turtles' most powerful weapons against evil. Almost indestructible, this "Don droid" is cloaked in impenetrable armor and bears a laser-lancing arm cannon. Metalhead's a force to be reckoned with, Turtle style!

GENERAL:
Being a Transformer fan I love pretty much anything robotic so Metalhead was a must have for me. IMO he is a great looking action figure and well worth the money spent to get him. The pictures tell it all.
ARTICULATION:
Head - Can be pivoted left and right about 5 degrees and can also rotate 90 degrees left and right allowing for some cool head poses
Arms - can be any where between straight up in the air to down beside his body but they cant rotate backwards due to the shell being in the way
Hands - Both hands rotate 360 degrees just above the wrist.
Legs - Can move backwards and forward at the hip about 45 degrees each way and can also rotate 360 degrees around (left or right) at the hip. His knees can bend backwards about 30 degrees and can also rotate 360 degrees around (left or right),
OVERALL:
Quite a decent looking action figure with a reasonable amount of articulation. My only gripe (it is part of the gimmick so unavoidable) is that the flame missile post sticks out the back of his arm.
