Both of those 4-arms are KILLER... I really need to call in a pick-up favor for the next SuFes...

I gotta say, I like this toy best when the eyes are one solid, dark color... ups the creep factor quite a bit.

That 4 arm :shock:

Are all the 4 armed versions one-offs or?

No they are runs, not sure of the size though. I'm willing to bet its pretty low numbers.

Nailed it. I also think the little nubbin between it's legs that always gets a little spray of color is a pretty funny touch.

I can't say it's my favorite version, but Beams' Good Robot isn't so bad either.

^^^^

Can definitely see that it's Jet Turre. However, I am not feeling this figure at all. The hands make me think of the Shikaruna Slit Mouth, the top of the head looks more like it's wearing a sheepskin shearling and overall, it just reminds me of Zazahn or even Gargamel's tree thing...

I hear you, John; apt comparisons for sure. I love Zazahn... that Gargamel tree thing is a big miss for me, though.

There's actually another monster that this guy has reminded me of since this pics first hit, which I think is why I'm digging it: the Tarman from RoTLD! To me, it's like Zazahn and the Tarman had a kid... it's in the face and hands, some Tarman nightmarishness just under the seemingly goofy/innocuous surface...

@Mike

Yeah, I can see your connection with Tarman for sure. Definitely in the hands/arms. It wouldn't surprise me if Tarman was a direct influence on their design. Overall, it feels like a mashup to me. There's a flow with the body design, but then the hands and arms get this different feel like they belong on another design. What gives it away as a JT design is the mouth. Not that this is a bad thing at all.

Maybe I'm not interpreting it correctly, but is there only one point of articulation?

I can see the appeal but its definitely not for me. Which is disappointing as I have
been falling head over heels for Jetturre. It's like they took me on this awesome date
picked out the perfect movie and restaurant then instead of kissing me goodbye they
gave me a side hug. I guess they are just not that in to me... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Good point (sorry for the pun). Looks to be in the waist is all. Maybe the legs move underneath. Hard to say/tell.

There also appears to be bupkis for articulation (I don't think that really is a cut joint at the waist), in the time-honored tradition of many a Zazahn toy. :lol:

Post Re: Jet Turre?
I really love this guy, my favourite from Jet Turre yet. He definitely has a classic 'monster' appeal to him, like something that stepped right out of the illustration from a Japanese horror story. I hope they aren't as hard to come by as some of the other figures.

The lack of articulation doesn't bother me at all, but it does kind of look like it could be a mini or smaller figure to me - maybe this is why it just has the one 'joint.'
