Infinite Hollywood: Sontaran Commander Skorr Figure Review

Thanks for reading.

I know they're clones, but having purchased this figure and the General one I have to express I like the latter so much better. Weird thing is I really can't put my finger on why. Perhaps it's the teeth?

Yeah could be. They certainly draw some attention.

Out of curiosity, have you had any trouble putting the helmet on?

I think everyone did at first, especially when they're new out the package. But you get used it and it tends to stay on after a few little pushes.

I got 8 of the buggers, and some helmets fit better than others. Some need to be forced in and randomly pop off a few minutes later.

Mine seems to have the issue of one side fits in and the other side pops out. I was considering taking my exacto knife and gently trimming away some of the plastic so the little notch will just fit perfectly.

I'm still amazed at its dexterity. I just did a photo story of it and my Daleks to show off how well it can pose! It's truly an amazing figure, even if I can't get the helmet to stay on! I even have one picture that I adore:

Currently I only have General Stahl and even though I think he's a great figure I really don't like that his upper torso feels so "springy". I just have this feeling like the piece is going to break off if I'm not careful with the figure.

What about his helmet though? Has it ever been difficult to get that thing to stay on?

That's a negative.

I wonder what mine's problem is then. I still can't get the silly thing to stay on.

Why do I think of sour creme every time I see a Sontaran!!

Perhaps it's something to do with the way it was manufactured? Perhaps heat exposure somehow warped the collar area? Just guessing though.

Probably. It does seem a little warped. I'm trying to gently scrape away some of the plastic so it can just slide on.
