I like it. I'm guessing he's about as big as a pharoan. The only thing I don't like...RM figures always seem to cost a lot more than most. Even the smaller figures like the baby pharoas. If I have any extra cash, I'll probably pick one up. Looks like it could be a great custom as well since it has a fair amount of texture to it.

Figure sculpt looks good but a real poor selection for the base color for the first run.
Seriously, it has some scales/some lizard like features and then go do a nuetral standard green base? That was over done in a decade ago. Even a bright lime green would have been more dynamic I think...
just my 2 cents

Anyone else notice the superficial resemblance to Dream Rocket's Girumos? Almost like a "cute" reinterpretation of that idea, or maybe it's just me, I dunno.

it's funny that you mention that.....i initially thought this was a dream rocket release, even after coming back to this thread a few times....

Maybe because of the (also admittedly very superficial) resemblance to DR's Ganda Ninpou?

Hmm, good eyes. I think there is definitely more than a superficial resemblance to the two DR sculpts. The overall body does resemble Ganda, but it has Gilmos' scales and a tail-fin.
Probably just a coincidence.

Good one, xoconostle, I didn't make the connection (whether it be accidental or inspirational).
I like the Ganda Ninpou.
Unfortunately, this Rumble comes across as a Wonderwall release.
Not saying that's a bad thing, just not my thing though I do own some Tankizaados.

The sculpting on the scales is pretty sweet but i'm gonna go ahead and sit on the fence about this one. I do get a slight Wonderwall / KFGU feel, but I'm not so sure that's a bad thing. The Tanks and Usagi-gons were sweet from that series - it's only now that they've started to pump out some decidedly average shit....

I like the front but the back of the figure is a big disconnect going from the smooth rounded style up front to an almost flat and jagged feeling (from the scales) on the back. Its like its 2 different figures. RM doesnt do it for me at all tho.

I didn't like this at first glance. At second inspection... I think it's ok but it doesn't go together with my other Rumbles.

Just for fun.....I think this might actually be cool to have if you have the 13 robo(Scud Robo) in hand.

love this guy! Green is good too - there hasn't been much as of late that was a near-solid green casting.

I like it. It's the first Rumble Monsters toy I've seen that appeals to me in any way. I suspect that the very reasons that I like this are the same reasons that the folks who like RM's previous releases won't like this one.  Or, perhaps not. If they make this guy in purple vinyl I might actually buy one.

Beyond. That shot puts that piece in a cool light. A futuristic slant on a retro theme.
It has piqued my interest in this toy.
I like the scud too It goes well with Bop Dragon.
Thanks
