I think I need this, but I'm not remotely sure why (I haven't seen or read any "Sunred"):



I watched a couple of episodes of that. It was really... Well, I get that it's supposed to be a surreal parody of tokusatsu tropes by contrasting them with the real life scenarios and personality types of adult society. But it somehow didn't quite work. There was a scene with the mongo headed main villain scolding a tigerish hench-monster for living like a complete slob. That was funny if you've ever seen a slovenly kept one-room in East Asia in person, but that's fairly niche. I found it really difficult to get past the low-budget animation quality, too.

But I loved the character designs. It'd be cool to see a few more of those get turned into Figmas.

Now I gotta track me down a Revoltech Lupin or Jigen for a non-exorbitant price and swap T. rex's head, feet and tiny lil' arms on. It looks like their wrist joints may be the same size as the micro-Revoltechs that serve as the T. rex's "shoulders"...

Which reminds me... There was a kid in elementary school that invited me over to play dinosaurs with him. He said he had a whole lot of them. When I went over to his house, it was true. He did have a lot. Dozens and dozens of them. And every last one of them was herbivorous. When I asked him why he didn’t have a T-rex, he said, “My parents won’t let me have dinosaurs like that because they’re too violent.” His mom would scold us if we ran around too fast or made too many growing noises with the dinosaurs. So our afternoon consisted mostly of taking his triceratops around quietly exploring and finding grass for them to eat. Even at six years old the experience was so vanilla that when I left all I could think was, “Dood, your parents are determined to turn you into the world’s most boring pussy.” It was so depressing that I never went back. I did, however, try to give him a GI Joe guy at school one day thinking it would be pretty badass. He was really nervous when I insisted he take it. The next day he brought it back and said, “My mom told me I can’t keep this. I think she doesn’t want me to play with you anymore.” Which was fine. It taught me an important life lesson. It’s not that boys are inherently violent or biologically prone to liking action-oriented toys; it’s that pacifism is so fucking boring that it even sucks the fun out of dinosaurs. And that’s one to grow on!]]> Gcrush The OT Fri, 11 May 2012 23:12:46 -0400 http://toyboxdx.com/phorum/read.php?5,191578,244653#msg-244653 Re: New Revoltech Thread Untouched by the Masses http://toyboxdx.com/phorum/read.php?5,191578,244653#msg-244653 Prometheum5 The OT Fri, 11 May 2012 18:20:42 -0400 http://toyboxdx.com/phorum/read.php?5,191578,244645#msg-244645 Re: New Revoltech Thread Untouched by the Masses http://toyboxdx.com/phorum/read.php?5,191578,244645#msg-244645

It's probably the best T-Rex toy I've ever had. More poseable than a vintage Jurassic Park mega-beast and more stable than a Resaurus one. It's just so small for the price.

> ever consider buying American?


It's true that the usual bullshit-QC American toys cost less than imports.

As I was gluing the Power Ranger's arm back on I noticed that the parts of the arm that form the second swivel joint do not mate flush with one another. The plug for the lower arm is much thinner than it needs to be and kind of float around in the base of the upper piece. I'm sure that's why it broke, too. The more I looked at it, the more it seemed like the shoulders were originally intended to have Revolver joints in them. Oh, well.

I guess the good news is that with all the joints it does have, you can get Power Trooper into some nice and meaty dick-thrust poses. So, that's a win.

It's sooo frustrating. The figure is way to small to interact with much of anything. They should have at least given it a prop to terrorize. I'm hoping that one day we will see an equally tiny Kong from the Pete Jackson film so T-Rex will have something to bite.
