Ultraman Import fig 2 set with candy (unsure of actual name)
Most of what's in this pack isn't anything to extraordinary. The Ultraman guy kinda looks like he lost his real uniform and so he just showed up in his old timey long johns and hoped no one would notice. The candy that comes in this pack is also mostly just flavorless sugar, again nothing to memorable. The thing that's madly fabulous about this set is the monster that comes with it.
Look at this freak! Holy crap, this monster looks like he evolved over several generations simply to fill the biological nitch of having its books dumped.
I realize that trying to analyze giant monsters in any rational manner is just silly, but we must assume that the thing is intended to destroy buildings or fight other huge beasties or something, yet I see no way as to how it would go about doing this. First off he has no arms, not a big deal in itself, but it doesn't help. I guess it could use its horns… if they weren't jutting out in such weird angles and in such a way that all they seem to do is prevent the freak from getting his mouth near anything while leaving its undefendable sides (no arms remember) completely exposed. Now perhaps he's suppose to have some kind of protective shell, but the figure clearly has large openings all over it, meaning any armor rating would be completely useless to any of today's modern monsters with lasers and whatnot. The thing has a barbed tail, so you'd assume it was intended to at least a defensive use, but due to the front heavy nature of the colossal tard (weird jutting horns) it damn thing would tip over, and if it doesn't get stuck to the ground on its useless horns, it has no arms and really stubby legs to right itself. I certainly hope this bastard shoot lasers or something, though knowing his luck of anatomy they'd probably fire from the soles of his feet.
Well, at least it doesn't look like female genitalia… oh, wait… |

SWAT team sniper figure
Now I know that snipers are often known for being kind of eccentric, but you'd think there'd be some kind of regulation for someone joining the police department. First off, what kind of department would have ski masks and night vision goggles as standard wear, is this guy being sent behind enemy lines in Nazi controlled Harlem to do his sniping?
The real reason I'm reviewing this fig is because of his equipment. What kind of police sniper needs a rifle big enough to pierce tank armor? And then there's the machete? Is he going into the Nazi controlled Amazon for this? Then there's the shovel, what in the hell does a police sniper need a shovel for? There's something horribly shady about this guy, and the fact that the equipment comes in plain view with the figure means that I think the department knows about it… the corruption goes all the way up! |
