  • I review the Diamond Select Toys Iron Giant with light-up eyes and metallic finish. This new metallic finish gives the Iron Giant a more realistic look while still capturing that iconic look.

  • @LochNessHamster
    @LochNessHamster 11 месяцев назад +3

    I've passed on most Iron Giant figures that I've seen, and I think the cel shading was the reason why. Making it actually look metallic goes a long way in making it look a lot nicer. In video games, animation, etc I love cel shading, but when it comes to physical objects I always think it looks weird. You have to lean into the realism when it's a real object, otherwise it just looks kind of cheap and plain.

    He might scale well with some mobile suit gundam or Transformers collections. Still very impressive articulation for the price I think. Got some good expressive poses in this video.
    Getting the impression he's top heavy.
    There was a big electronic walking Iron Giant at walmart like three years ago along with the forbidden planet robot. Their not really poseable but they display nicely.

    Actually, there ARE several shots in the movie where you can see the Giant's neck through his mouth, so that's pretty accurate, in fact. And for scaling; he might look pretty cool posed in a classic model-train layout! And the supplies are very easy to find! =)

    I got the regular version some time ago don't remember tbh, and its great its not the best figure ever and its not that great to play with tbh but he looks good on the shelf, and that version does come with a little Hogarth.
    My only gripe with it is that the plastic is too thin and his whole head lights up, not just the eyes.

    The people who say "it's only a toy you shouldn't get so upset" either have alot of money, have someone else buy everything for them, or just dont have a passion. When you spend your own hard earned $ on anything, if it's not as good as you hoped, it makes you upset....
