Tri-Klops MOTU Chronicles In-Hand Review

I have been looking forward to this one since the Chronicles line was first revealed, and getting Tri-Klops in hand is exactly what I was hoping for. Tri-Klops has always been one of those characters who sits right at the core of Skeletor’s crew. Seeing him realized here with a movie-accurate design based on the upcoming 2026 live action Masters of the Universe film, including the likeness of actor Kojo Attah, gives this version of Tri-Klops a very distinct role. The sculpt leans into a grounded, cinematic look while keeping the essence of what makes the character work, especially those cybernetic eyes that have defined him since day one. At 6.5 inches with 30 points of articulation, the posability is solid, and the long sniper rifle fits the tone of the new film’s aesthetic nicely. The alternate set of hands is a welcome inclusion and adds some versatility for display. The packaging also looks great for anyone who likes to keep things sealed. I am really happy with how he turned out. Huge thanks to Big Bad Toy Store for sending this Tri-Klops MOTU Chronicles over for review, and if he has been on your must have list, you can still grab him now at Big Bad Toy Store.

Packaging

The front of the box features a great purple color scheme that really pops, and the window display gives you a full view of Tri-Klops along with his sniper rifle and alternate hands. The back panel keeps things clean and minimalistic with a character photo and small cross-sell images for He-Man and Man-At-Arms, and honestly, that streamlined approach works well for the Chronicles line.

The box features a great faceoff between He-Man and Tri-Klops, and I love how the open left side of the box lets light flood in to illuminate the figure inside the window. The back panel includes a character bio describing Tri-Klops as Skeletor’s right-hand man, along with a full-body render of the figure posed on a purple Eternian landscape.

Figure Details

Tri-Klops comes with a long-barreled sniper rifle in a gold and olive drab finish, along with a pair of alternate fisted hands that swap out from the open grip set he’s wearing. A solid accessory spread for the price point, and that rifle has some nice sculpted detail to it.

The front and back views together give a full picture of Tri-Klops’ layered costume design, with the olive drab chest armor and shoulder plates sitting over a black chainmail-textured bodysuit, segmented arm plating, orange wrist cufs, and heavy sculpted loin protection ringing the waist and thighs. From behind, the helmet’s secondary red cybernetic eye port and the clean continuation of the armor plating across the back show this isn’t a figure that cuts corners where the camera usually doesn’t go.

The side views reveal details that the front and back angles don’t fully capture, particularly the layered construction of the olive drab shoulder armor as it wraps around and overlaps the brown segmented arms beneath. The sculpted ammo pouches along the belt line have real dimension from this profile, and the mottled green camo pattern on the pants reads with more depth when the light catches the texture at these angles.

Tri-Klops is posed here holding his sniper rifle low at the ready, and the olive drab and silver tones on the weapon complement the greens and browns nicely. The chainmail texture on his torso, the sculpted ammo pouches across his thighs, and those heavy black boots all come together well in a full-figure pose like this.

Tri-Klops is posed aiming his sniper rifle upward and the ball joint on his neck really shows the range here with a natural two-handed grip and a convincing upward-aiming stance. The copper belt buckle with its Eternian emblem and the orange forearm wraps are details that stand out nicely from this angle.

The head tilt here shows off the ball-jointed neck’s range nicely, and Tri-Klops holds a convincing eye adjustment pose that sells the articulation. The textured sculpt on his gloves is really impressive up close, with layered crosshatch patterning across the knuckles and fingers that gives them a real tactical, armored feel.

The armor pieces are removed here, and the bare torso underneath has a smooth, clean sculpt with subtle skin tone shading across the chest. That’s a nice touch for a figure at this price point, giving collectors a solid base body that holds up well on its own.

With the armor removed and the alternate fisted hands swapped in, the sculpted texture on Tri-Klops’ arms really shines here, with layered segmented plating across the shoulders and a reptilian scale pattern running down the forearms that has surprising depth for this scale. The orange wrist wraps sit cleanly against the brown arm plating, and the contrast between the smooth bare torso and the heavily textured arms is a nice design choice.

The visor on Tri-Klops features three distinct cybernetic eyes that rotate into position, and while the rotation isn’t stiff, getting each eye lined up precisely takes a little finesse. These close-up shots show each of the three eye positions cycled through, with the red gem-like center eye, the smooth domed lens, and the third variant each clicking into place beneath that olive and silver helmet.

Tri-Klops is down in a deep kneeling pose showing off the articulation as they really earn their keep here with the knees, hips, and shoulders all working together naturally.

The sniper has some genuinely impressive sculpted detail up close, with a ridged foregrip, recessed panel lines running along the barrel shroud, and silver mechanical detailing around the receiver that breaks up the olive drab finish nicely. The extended barrel ends in a forked muzzle that gives the weapon a distinctly Eternian sci-fi feel, and the overall proportions suit the figure’s hands well.

Tri-Klops looks like he’s genuinely adjusting his sight before settling in for the hunt.

The articulation in the Chronicles line really deliver here, with Tri-Klops holding a natural two-handed aiming pose that sells the realism of the movie-accurate design based on actor Kojo Attah’s likeness. Honestly, seeing him posed like this, he doesn’t read like a toy at all, he reads like a miniature soldier, and that’s exactly what the Chronicles line should be going for.

The front of the armor piece shows heavy weathering across the olive drab shoulder plates, with scuffs and scratches worn into the surface that give it a real battle-used look. Two copper ribbed hoses connect from the collar area down into the chest plate, flanking a dark ribbed center strap that ends in a small translucent buckle at the base.

The back of the armor piece has a clean, unweathered finish compared to the front, with smooth olive drab plating that wraps around evenly and a thick collar ring at the base designed to sit snugly around the figure’s neck. The two copper ribbed hoses loop over the top and connect into the rear of the shoulder plates, and the whole piece has a solid, chunky feel that suggests it’ll hold its shape well over time.
