Faction: Evil Warriors
Clawful was released in 1984 and discontinued in 1985. The figure came with a green version of the mace that came with Castle Grayskull, but with an added loop to allow him to hold it. He had removable red armor, and a giant spring-loaded snapping claw on his right arm. He also had the usual spring-loaded waist twist feature. Early versions of the figure had Skeletor legs, but a running change gave him Whiplash’s legs.
