I was on yo joe.com looking through the figure archive of some of the latest figures ,one really stuck in my mind as being truly awful the new Monkeywrench ,he wasn't really one of my favorite Dreadnoks back in the day ,and i remember he was a peg warmer back in 86-87 ,but the new version sucks !!!!
What's with the "mullet" first of all ,gee i know the mullets were in during the 80's but i can't think of one figure that sported one during the 82' to 94 line why start now ? The costume ..ehhh..first of all what's with the "mummified" taped up looking arms did he burn himself that bad trying to set Gi joe headquartes on fire ,second was he shirt which has "dreadnok life" written on it ,they could have come up with something a little better than that ,like a biker crest or emblem like the Hell's angels or any other motorcycle gang has ..It gets even worse with the trenchcoat or duster with the arms torn off ,..ok maybe it's not that bad i guess because it hides that awful t-shirt ,but really the figure looks like a jakks Pacific WWE wrestler figure ,like the Undertaker for example ...And last but not least he is not wearing his mirror shades over his eyes this is his "trademark look" because most of the dreadnoks had unique eyewear that you could indentify them with ? Over all this figure gets a 1 out of 10 for me . I hope they at least bring back the classic Monkeywrench look in the future so he can fit in with the other lads . |

The new "Monkeywrench" was just a white Burnout. The color scheme as Burnout looks a lot better.

I thought he looked pretty cool,i have that figure and all geared up he looks very cool-kind of a cross between Saint of Sinners and WWE's Undertaker lol
YOJOE.COM | DTC Monkey Wrench - All Geared Up! I still prefer the original tho-even if he does look a bit too similar to Torch
