Managed to pick up Skull Scorpio at a discount.
I know I mock this set every now and then but the stinger is more FUN than you'd expect. Though I'm not sure I've ever seen scorpions with stingers like that. It didn't even inject venom into me.
One good thing about the set: the torso is constructed nicely. The tail and legs make everything fall apart though, but the legs are actually quite easy to improve. Tail, not so much, but at least it's fun.
CCBS really needs an equivalent to the Y-joint with the axle-hole facing up that many of the 2005-2007 titans had, because those provide a really, really easy way to make Skull Scorpio's legs even slightly articulated. Well, the back two, anyway. It only really needs one point of articulation on each leg, any more and I imagine it would get a bit unstable and frustrating to pose. The front two transparent neon green shells get in the way a bit.
As with the other Skull Skeletons, the transparent orange here... well, it fits. It's nice and contrasting to the trans neon green. Then again, I like a lot of colour combinations. We should really have more transparent colour combinations.
It also bothers me Gali doesn't even get a fully transparent mask. For all intents and purposes, I'm guessing the Transparent Orange Mask of Fire is meant to be a drained version of the Mask of Fire, so 5/6 Toa get drained masks and also three different masks.
Also regarding masks, it surprises me Skull Basher and Scorpio have the exact same mask, no recolours or anything. Would've thought one or the other would have had a gunmetal version, like how Warrior and Grinder have gunmetal/silver.
