Description
Trapjaw is the Boba Fett of " Masters of the Universe " ... if you can ignore the fact that he's usually portrayed as a dimp. He's always been a favorite character of mine because he has that cyborg arm with the replacement parts. In the early 80s, that was original to me. Plus he just looks cool... I wish he came with a fly-swatter attachment.Related content

And I didn't forget his voice. He sure sounded gruff.

Yeah, he had a grumble to his voice.

Ahhh...the Blue skinned, green faced, metal jawed, one armed badass that is Trapjaw.
Also notable for being the only figure (that comes to mind) with the ability to nibble on other characters. Not that I ever used him for that.
His origin was very cool. There were a series of heman comics that spotlight him, Merman and Beastman.

I kinda like no knowing too much about their origins. They may have changed it in recent years. I prefer to keep my MOTU characters on the whimsical side. The package for the new Trapjaw says that Triclops rebuilt him. I just don't buy that.
That new figure actually has a tongue and you can see some of his mutilated jaw. It's kinda gross in a cool way. ... or cool in a gross was.

Yeah, I guess it's a little unclear as to whose origins are truly cannon? They've been through so many companies.

I guess DC is doing a MOTU comic series now that incorporates a lot of the current ... mythos or whatever.

I just read that. I think it's amazing that Keith Giffen is involved! If I fell off the wagon and made weekly comic store stops again, this would be a must own for me!

Doesn't Keith Giffen have that really hard-to-comprehend drawing style?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, but he's not drawing it. I think just writing.

Hey! It's everyone favorite semi-mechanical man!

I guess he's got some wild back-story now where they say Triclops ( of all people ) was the one who rebuilt him. Kinda seems goofy to me.

I don´t remember more than the tiger-cat and Man-at-Arms, but this face looks familiar... always a little grumpy.
(it´s this colour-scheme ROFL)

They always have such pretty colors for being evil-baddies.

Yup, I like the flashy purple-green.
I remember him mostly because he look so grumpy... had no fun to be evil IMO.
That cat had no fun, too IMO - It looked like:
"Oh No! Not these itchy beams again! Can´t he just stroke my back like usual can-openers?"
(and then was suddely saddled and 3 numbers bigger...)

Poor Trap Jaw. Maybe he just never got used to his mechanical arm... or his trap jaw.

Now... - He has tooth-ache! No wonder...
(would explain his grim look perfectly..)

I think he has a missing-jaw ache actually.

Wow, these older series, characters sure were designed
differently than they are now. This guy looks pretty nifty,
I especially like his colour scheme!

The new figures ( for adult collectors ) are based on the 80s designs with slight nods to the ones that came out last decade. Actually, the 80s ones are fairly detailed but these new ones are crazy. He does have pretty colors.

Great job! You sure know how to draw these MOTU guys!
