Full review

I advise you to also read my reviews of the other Krillitane. This review only concerns the mouth.

I really hoped that having a closed mouth would make a big difference to the Krillitane. The open Krillitane mouth always looked a little odd, indeed I said just this in my original review of them. Therefore when a ‘closed mouth version’ was to be released I became very excited.

Unfortunately two things held back this excitement in the end. For one the closed mouth version was practically impossible to get hold of – stuffed in boxes full of already released figures.

Secondly the closed mouth isn’t brilliant. They have quite literally just removed the open jaw and stuck this on. Therefore it looks a little bit fake really, especially as the top row of teeth are actually moulded onto the bottom half of the jaw simply to look as if they come from the top.

It would have been nice if they had changed something else to make this figure a little more worthwhile too – such as maybe moulding the fingers slightly differently.

However I think the closed mouth does look better than the open one did overall, and I think this is slightly better than the previous version. Therefore not a perfect figure, it could have been better, but still a good one. Now we just need to see it become more easily available!
