The Snake Men Infiltrator weapon is a Poleaxe a type of Polearm, close combat weapons in which the main fighting part is fitted to the end of a long typically wood shaft extending the user's range and striking power.
It’s interesting that we get 2 really strong classic vintage characters, and then 2 somewhat weak repaints for this final Snake Men wave. Also not a lot of color variation. It’s very…green… Serpent Claw Man-at-Arms is cool in concept, but he’s really not all that different from the original release. What could have made him a bit better would have been if they had went the extra effort to make his weapon actually shoot out like the 200X version did. Also, it just seems lazy to repaint his entire armor silver but keep the arm and leg plates the same color. The Snake Men Infiltrator is also a nice idea, but just comes off as another lazy repaint. Having two very similar figures in the same wave just doesn’t seem well thought out at all. Such a shame to sort of be going out on a whimper before the “soft reboot” of the Origins line. Spikor and Sssqueeze are definitely the winners of this wave!
Are snake versions of our heroes new?... I always thought I had every single He-Man and MOTU figures then. If they were back in the 80's then I didn't have all of them. I have no recollection of them. If I had them I'd remember them.
These were probably my least favorite Origins releases in a while. Ugly colors and one-off versions of characters we already have. Man-At-Arms is also almost the same figure as the Guard, maybe they should have put these two in separate waves? I probably would have passed if I wasn't an Origins completionist. Thankfully, Spikor and Sssqueeze are great, and that's likely where the budget for this wave went.
If I can get the infiltrator cheap with his muted green suit, I'm sticking on the vintage MAA head for my perfect vintage look. Gonna keep my eyes peeled for Amazon warehouse deals.
Since I'm sure you'll get him, be careful opening Masterverse Slush Head. I just opened mine and snapped the claws right off the two pronged tentacle. As some might say, I'm pretty hot right now.

It’s started in the 00s, the Snakemen season of the 200X cartoon
@@sunnyshine2215 thank you
FYI., the mask is able to be pulled down and reveals his face. You can also do the same with the Eternian guard version.
I don’t think that is the case with this figure

I think Snake Men Man At Arms is a great army builder as a “Royal Commando”, so I got 3 😉

Great review
