The Worst "Snake Tut" (Midnight Special Version) - Super7 (2016)

The Worst - Snake Tut (Midnight Special Version) (Super7, 2016)

Meet the 18th monster of Monster Month! All hail Snake Tut! This Ancient Egyptian half snake, half mummy is known as the "Serpent God of Destruction!" He's one of the new retro 3 3/4" action figure line from Super7: The Worst! The Worst are Super7's take on classic monsters like vampires, robots, and mummies, but all with some cool new twists, and done in the style of classic Kenner figures from the 1970s and '80s. This figure is from the "Midnight Special" release of these figures, which are variant colored versions of these figures. The Midnight Special Versions of these figures were released about a month ago. The "regular" painted versions of these figures will be released some time in the future.

The Worst features awesome card art by Ed Repka

Snake Tut has the standard retro-style 5 points of articulation, and comes with a snake-shaped staff. He has a great sculpt, like all the Worst figures, with lots of fun little details, highlighted by a maniacal smiling snake face that looks both malevolent and cartoonish in equal measure. He also has an "X" sculpted in to his belt buckle, and many of the other figures in this line have an "X" in their sculpt as well, and there is even an "X" in the logo for "The Worst." It seems like there are little details like that throughout this toy line that help to tie all the figures together.
