According to Krepitus' bio card, he is a bounty hunter, specifically in pursuit of Torn (who is now a part of Alpha Team 1). When I first found Krepitus at a local Dollar Tree store, I wasn't too keen on his appearance. I thought he looked a little goofy between his dreads and all the gold armor. Once I finally freed him from his plastic prison and got him in my hands it was only then that I came to appreciate his unique look. He looks more like a character ripped from the old Playmates Skeleton Warriors series than some sort of alien, but either way he's pretty creepy looking.
Krepitus features gold paint apps to all of his armor bits as well as his eyes and even his teeth. I'm guessing if he has gold teeth this his bounty hunting business has been good! His gold gauntlets each have a peg hole on the side for his included weapons. He features a hunched over look with the same insect type legs that many of the Kharn have. His feet are rather large as well which helps his stance.
Krepitus comes packaged with two neon green bladed weapons and his companion, Flea. One weapon looks more like a sword while the other looks like an axe. These simply plug into the holes in the sides of his gauntlets. I believe he can still wield most of the traditional Kharn guns that have been released with other figures or from the accessory packs.
At first I didn't know what this was that Krepitus came packaged with. I thought it was a removable piece of armor or maybe some sort of communication device, but nope, it's a small alien "companion". The amount of detailing put into this small piece is rather impressive, however that aren't any paint apps included on this piece.
If you've looking for a unique action figure look no further than Krepitus. He has a great design, decent paint apps and a nice weapons assortment included.
Another great figure for the price. The braids give off an Predator vibe.
