PART I - because reasons (10 image limit)
Alrighty...again mine is #49. That is the exact number I wanted so jokes on you, Chronicle! 49. 4+9=13. 4x9=36. 13+36=49 WHAM BAM ALIENS!
Now let's review this like I'm some important reviewer:
UPS: 3/10
BO Rex: 9/10
Base: 10/10 (Note: Might drop in the event the fence had the ball dropped, 9/10)
Packaging: 10/10
UPS: They are breaking my balls, man. My Endo rep and BO rex boxes took heavy beatings. Paul or whom it may concern, I think I rather pay more on the FED EX shipping...seriously, UPS is breaking my balls. Big packages via UPS have almost ALWAYS arrived at all of my homes beat up as if they went through the fires of hell before being lifted back to Earth by Christ for their lack of sins... FED EX has basically a flawless record. I can't think of one instance, ever, when a package through them arrived in any condition other than mint. And I buy ALOT of stuff, especially since my house fire.
BO Rex: I don't know what QC went into this via CC but in any case, I am extremely happy. The spots DO NOT STAND OUT in person. As I expected cameras make them stand out but in person I can't say I care just 1% about them. Rest of the paint app helps take your eyes away from them, no problem. For the record, it has a very nice weight to it.
Base: Not bad, Toynami. Is it absolutely perfect? Nah lol. Nothing ever is. But it's well done and a 10 score well deserved. It might drop to a 9 if my fence is off for any reason. I did not check on the fence yet and I probably won't for several months while my new home is still in the construction stages. My cat would throw down with my NECA alien queen so I'm sure she would do the same with BO rex as the only place I have to display is my glass computer desk....
Packaging: As always CC's packaging does the job. It protected my Endo 1/4 and BO rex. I'm not anal about product boxes as I will not be selling the products I buy from collectible companies, but the boxes themselves are artwork and it nags at me the unneeded damage to them during shipping because UPS employees don't care and just let our boxes fly from one side of their trucks to the other while on the road. If only UPS existed for shipments, internet business would die within a year ._.
Now, I do have criticisms for the BO Rex. Yes I am extremely happy with it, but there are parts of this that I would say some people would have issues with. I strive to be fair in my reviews so here goes:
1)I guess I wrongly assumed the base of the body would be in one piece, head to tail and the add ons would be the arms, teeth, tongue, whatever. That is not the case. The tail is a separate piece it seems, and Toynami did a less than stellar job attaching it. The seam is kind of awful, guys. It's uh, it's not something I expected to see.
A crack? Fracture? You can only see it with this one angle. I struggle to call it an issue. Just another thing I found curious:
2)What is wrong with your FACE. The Teeth are not perfect. I've seen 1:1 Endo bust teeth so it was kind of expected to see a tooth or two connected to one another. Not a major sin for me but it's like...why not take 60 seconds or less and separate the two!
3)What is wrong with your F- belly???
Ar-are these spots nipples? Again, the camera makes the spots out to be alot worse than meets the eye:
Whatever that is on her belly(not talking about the spots, the uh..lines)it doesn't bother me too much. I'm curious to know if that's on the proto or not. The seams attaching the tail to body aren't there on proto from the images I've seen. Paul is such a fanatic about no seams so I just didn't expect to see any, especially through Toynami.
