FansProject Retro-Future: Glacialbots – TUSKER

So here we have Tusker, the leader of the Glacialbots, and boy…he’s one heck of a combiner commander:

As a Wooly Mammoth, I wasn’t sure just how well the figure was going to turn out but the moment I saw him in his packaging, I was sold! And speaking of packaging, as before we get the deluxe treatment for nostalgia fans:

As before, we get a wonderful amount of faux fading, rips and tears on the box, a little more noticeable this one –

Some additional packaging pictures – on the back we see some outstanding “Retro” artwork, featuring some really cool images of FP past and presumably future toys coming out.

And even more awesome – on the bottom, we see some cells from a rumored animated feature for the team (heavily rumored, there’s no confirmation of anything at this point).

On to the figure him self: Tusker, like G1 combiner leaders, he’s much bigger than the other two members we’ve seen so far, Fangro and Tailclub:

And he sure looks great in Robot mode. He has limited articulation, but given the design of the transformation he’s more than just a brick with arms and legs:

He has a shoulder shield and the tusk of the mammoth becomes his rifle, which is awesome.

So very cool. More robot mode pictures:

In Mammoth mode, he looks very very nice. The color scheme works extremely well!

He looks great with the team too –

He comes with the same little power/head master too:

But as you can see from the robot mode picks, there’s a separate head that flips over the little guy
Finally, here’s a teaser shot of the partially completed Glacial Lord next to Piranhacon –

He’ll look amazing when done.

So there we go, stay tuned because we have a lot coming up!
