After over a hundred small figures at increasing prices, I dragged my feet on Sofubi Glow in the Dark Orbitron - obviously I want a glow guy, but I held off until it was in stock. I was given the opportunity to preview it during Toy Fair
(thanks Gary and Mel!) and what we have here is pretty close to what I
saw there - but it's a little shinier, and the joints are a little
looser. It's not as solid as the Colossus Rex [FOTD #2,131]
and it's also a bit taller than the "giant," with looser joints. I'm
not loving that. The accessories are gorgeous, with a much more
three-dimensional star accessory. When I got him, I set him up on a
shelf - and he was missing when I came home. The leg joints are loose
enough that gravity pulled him down and he was hanging from a shelf by
his star, for dear life, for at least a little while. He's got a strong
grip. Orbitron's claws may be the most perfect hands to grip any
action figure accessory in quite some time.
