Recently I purchased the Trap Jaw from the new Masters of the Universe toy line. Although the new sculpt is amazing there was just something missing. He only comes with three arm attachments. There is the standard claw with spring loaded action so if you pull on it, it will snap back into place. Next there is a hook, looks great, no action. And last there is a very large gun. The gun also great and also has no action to it. Looking at the figure as a whole these three attachments are actually more than enough for what most collectors are using TrapJaw for, posing. You really don't even need more than one. But then I got to thinking that the playability of this figure and it just needed a little more. Below you will find the extra attachments that I think really make the figure more enjoyable.

Attatchment #1 - Shield
When battling the Masters you need more than good luck to get you out of a tight spot, so who wouldn't want to go into battle with this shield attachment? This shield comes in handy because not only does it block against big guys with swords, but also distracts them with it's odd bright colors.

Attachment #2 - Missile

More powerful than TrapJaw's gun attachment is this super handy missile attachment. When Triclops first told TrapJaw about this one he was a bit skeptical, but when he saw that it was an Inferno missile he was pretty excited and preordered three sets!

Attachment #3 - Back Scratcher

Let's face it, TrapJaw is big, and he's not that attractive. So those two things alone automatically tell me that he's going to have trouble getting someone to scratch his back for him or doing it himself. This is one of his most cherished attachments now.

Attachment #4 - Swing Dance Partner

Trapjaw has always been a bit behind the times and now that the mystic wall has come down he's able to add some more CDs to his collection he's really gotten into the "hip craze" that swept Eternia a few years ago. No one in Skeletor's minions would agree to be his partner so he modified this new part to fill that void in his social life. I don't want to be the one to tell him that swing has died.

Attachment #5 - Communicate with GIJoes attachment

In this fast paced world if you aren't thinking globally, you aren't thinking at all. You won't go anywhere in today's society unless you can communicate with others in a way they can understand, a way that doesn't scare them off. If you want to succeed, you will and without attachments like this "communicate with GIJoes attachment" you will fall behind.

Attachment #6 - Attach my other attachments for me attachment

Seriosly though, who has time to actually attach and keep track of all those new attachments? That's right no one. That's what made this "attach my other attachments for me attachment" essential. If you waste all your time attaching attachments then you won't have any time to enjoy your attachments.
