Owner's Description
"The Lurkers in the Lake!" Specifically the normal looking guy staring at her a$$. Right. So we've got some Sleestak looking dudes - that makes sense. And they are pretty good looking in green against the bright yellow background. They look like they could have come from a lake anyway. Plus one of them has a sword and another has a double-headed axe with a spiked ball on top, which might be the dumbest fantasy weapon I have ever seen in my life. But just some Creature from the Black Lagoon looking bad guys wasn't enough, oh no. (sad Sleestak sounds). We also need a bat & a snake. Plus, the one creature front & center needs to have a skirt on to hide his tail? It's so incongruous I thought it was the headdress on a wizard from the rear - and it's dumb. And we still have the dude looking up Sonja's bikini - I guess he's supposed to be on her side maybe? I don't know.
Then we have Sonja herself. OK - so she's got her sword back like she's about to take a huge swing - except her grip is inverted, so either her hand is drawn upside down or she's in the most moronic position ever with her primary hand. She's got reach on these attackers if she holds her sword properly, instead she's holding it like she's defending with it and attacking with her dagger. Dumb. And not only does Sonja have her dagger in her hand - she's also got it on her thigh, in the scabbard. Now, her stance - it is a little bit aggressive, a little long in the forward step - unless she's really taking the big swing that her hand is upside-down for. You know, if her hand was right, I'd really love her pose. Instead it is horrible.
Last - but certainly not least - can someone tell me what the hell is happening in the background with the blue & black area? What is that supposed to be? I cannot for the life of me figure it out.
Overall - yeah, I'd probably have spent 30 cents on this from the spinner rack - but only because I was 12.
