The Triceraton Gladiator comes in a window box packaging, with beautifully done artwork inspired from the comic series, images of the character on both sides, images of the figure and a look at additional figures on the back.
The Triceraton Gladiator is inspired from the pages of the original Eastman & Laird Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic books. His sculpt is big and bulky, muscular and given a sculpted texture throughout his body. His only clothing are a pair of light grey trunks with black lines in the grooves. The Triceraton has the appearance of Earth’s Triceratops dinosaurs, and this is noticeable on the head sculpt, with the horns, shape and the back of the head. The body is dark orange, with black lines and comic book shading applied, which is very detailed and nicely done.
The head sculpt includes a great likeness to the source material, and he has light grey horns with black shading, sculpted texture on the skin, red eyes, grey teeth, a pink tongue and a darker pink interior of the mouth.
His articulation includes a ball jointed head, hinged jaw, ball jointed waist, ball hinged shoulders, swivel biceps, double-hinged elbows, swivel-hinged wrists, ball jointed hips, double-hinged knees, hinged and rocker ankles. The tail is a swivel-hinged, and bendy.
He includes four sets of interchangeable hands (closed fisted, 2x open grip, and neutral), Large gladiator weapon, Sickle, Nunchucks, and 2 swords.
The large Gladiator weapon can be held in one or both open grip hands, and is a long staff with a pointy arrow on one side, and a bulky triangle on the other. Both ends are grey, with black shading, and the handle is painted brown with black shading.
The nunchucks include three brown handles that are brown with black shading, with grey ends, and metallic silver chain links on both sides of the center one.
The Sickle includes a handle and a blade on one side, and a bulky triangle on the other, and a chain link that’s metallic silver connecting both. The handle is brown with black shading, with a grey blade, and a grey triangle with blade shading.
Both swords are identical, with light grey blades, dark grey handles with spikes, and the black shading.
Comparing him to the turtles and to Zog, he’s taller and more bulky than the turtles, but not as big and bulky as Zog.
Overall, the Triceraton Gladiator is an excellent figure and a great addition to the Mirage Comics inspired line. The likeness and attention to detail is top notch and fits in perfectly with the collection. This is surely a character you need to add to your toy shelf.
