Re: Artoyz.com Exclusive General Zoo - So Rad... it's definitely an interesting concept. The magnets are awesome. I changed my mind about this toy once I saw this video. I wish the colorways were cooler though. you can mix and match the pieces from different versions. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veRjeRLC ... r_embedded

Re: Artoyz.com Exclusive General Zoo - So Rad... Shape of the toy reminds me of McSupersize toy. No good.
The skull shape doesn't even match up with the cheesy, hair in the eyes head. The skull has almost no jaw. I mean, the jawbone lines up with the heads lower lip. No good.
The head seems misplaced and poorly designed for the (actually pretty cool) Dune-like armor.
Is it even poseable? Looks like it just has to stand there like that...
The magnet idea is kinda cool I guess.
Just my 2 cents.

Re: Artoyz.com Exclusive General Zoo - So Rad... 1. Skull.
2. Blood splatter/drip.
3. Dissected. Been done and done again.
4. I can't even tell what it is. If it is a gorilla/monkey, add that to the list.
5. Looks like it belongs in some horrible American-made faux-anime.
Cool if you like it. Just totally not something that fits on this board.

Re: Artoyz.com Exclusive General Zoo - So Rad... magnets seem like too much of a gimmick to me

Re: Artoyz.com Exclusive General Zoo - So Rad... Haha...I've seen magnets on other toys much older than this and they work. This one is just really pointless. It would have been better if the piece somehow interlocked without the use of something else.

Re: Artoyz.com Exclusive General Zoo - So Rad... In theory it's not bad but the execution is poor to the point where it's become a horrific mish mash of different ideas none of which hold together.
