SUMMARY:
The Aurimat Clawful is characterized by its intense blue tones in the belt/boots, soft head, opaque red armor with bold, dark brown strokes, and a limb skin tone that tends to decolor to a grayish brown.
This figure was released in the third year of the Los Amos del Universo production (1986). It was released with 2 different torso variants. A torso marked © MATTEL. INC. 1981 and a torso marked © MATTEL. INC. 1981 MALAYSIA. This is very curious, as Clawful was never made in Malaysia. It's very possible the torso is from a Jitsu or a Fisto mold. The armor is simply marked with numbers (no COO markings), and the mace is just marked with a batch number.
The mace comes in two versions. One is a standard, green mace, and the second is a much rarer salmon-colored variant. Both have the same semi-rigid consistency, and both tend to develop a virus in the plastic.
