I had the hardest time getting a decent pic of Rattlor and I'm honestly not sure I succeeded. I think the fact that I'm not sure kind of means that I probably didn't. That's ok though. I think you get the idea of what he looks like from the pics I did get.
The problem is that his head kind of looks up and he doesn't have any sort of articulation on his neck so you can't get him to look down at you. Sure, he can look to the left and right but that doesn't help because he's still looking up just up left or up right. He's tough nut to crack picture wise.
Rattlor is one of the cheaper MOTU figures that one can cop on Ebay. I got him for not so much.. I think 13.99 plus shipping. That's not bad for a 30 plus year old action figure. He came with his staff and everything. Sure, he can't look down and that sucks but ya know what? I've heard it's healthier to look up at the sky than it is to look down at the dirt so maybe Rattlor has one up on other figures in that regard.
Rattlor is like a snake dude, I mean, obviously but he takes it all the way in that he has a rattlesnake like tail on his backside and if you shake him around he makes a slight rattling sound. It's not super impressive. It's more like something broke off inside of him during transport than a full on scary snake sound but that's ok. He's a snake man, not a baby rattle even though he could do as one in a pinch. Do babies even use rattles anymore or do they just good around on their parent's phone or on Ipads with silly red plastic covers? I don't even know to be honest.
I think that i'm running out of clever things to say about Rattlor and that's only if I had any to begin with. That's open to debate and argument and I'm not sure what side I'd be on in that one. Prolly on the nay side if we're being totally transparent.
Know what? I just realized that Rattlor's head can be pulled up! Like Mekaneck's.. That shows you what I know about my toys. Like almost nothing. Here is a picture that I totally didn't take of Rattlor showing you what his neck looks like all pulled out...
I was in such a hurry to get the pics taken and the post written that I totally half-stepped on the important details. In my simple mind the rattling sound was his super feature when in reality it was his stretchy neck.. My apologies. I hope that you stick around with me long enough for me to maybe get some of my credibility back....
