The
deluxe Dessicator is part of the 13th Series of Spawn figures
and those that are familiar with the comic representation will
appreciate the amount of work that went into this figure.
This
is a big (about 8"), heavy figure. It amazes me that it can stand
on it’s own considering the freaky-small feet that Dessicator has.
There are tubes and armour plating wrapped around Dessicator with
probe-looking things sticking out of his head, creating
a post-apocalyptic look. He comes equipped with a big gattling gun
mounted on his shoulder. The gun can be wound-up manually then released
by pressing a small button, allowing the
gun to spin. It’s a neat
effect. Be careful how you store Dessicator because the gun can be bent
quite easily. He comes with a chain decorated with skulls. It’s not a
kids toy, the box says "Ages 13+" and the playability is
limited. It’s a great showpiece though; the detail is very high. (This
is typical of most McFarlane Toys) Articulation is limited, too, due
mostly to Dessicator’s shape.
Number
of seconds it took for my wife to ask why I bought Dessicator: 0.2.
