    I'd be way more into this if it didn't have one of his signature characters all over it multiple times, as I'm not particularly fond of Ron's work. Kind of an eyesore, in my opinion. The 'Zilla itself looks pretty bad ass, though.

    I really like Ron English paintings. His work does not translate well to toys for me. I do like the head on this guy, but don't understand the rest.

    ... the toy IS a clusterfuck.

    BUT i like clusterfucks. ;)

    Q) can you take-off the:

    * guy sitting on the head?
    * girl in the arms?
    * guys on the back?

    OH - AND i asked Gino @ TAG were it was made, and he told me Japan! Said ALL the TAG stuff made in Japan.

    ... just info for the trainspotters i guess.

    It is made with over 30 points and is said to have "countless articulation points" so I would assume the answer to all your questions is yes.

    I like the monster parts of the figure a lot. Don't care much for the rest but it's cool that this thing is being made and I can see it being loved by some people for sure.

    Anyone know?

    I think it's pretty cool.. although I would hate to paint it! Good luck to whoever is in the TAG custom show for this figure (assuming they have one at some point!).. I wanna see the pile of paint masks that were possibly produced for this thing, could be a record holder!!

    English's work has always struck me as sophomoric at best. His venture into "designer toys" never translated well in my opinion. This "designer toy" is just bad. I can think of two years better spent. That being said, I'm sure there will be a lot of these showing up in people's collections.

    @IronPaw - My guess is you're getting a pink slip at work today :lol:

    Wow, not many RE fans here :lol: I don't think its that bad really. I kinda like it too so maybe I just don't have good taste or something. I think a good freehand paint ap might put it in a different light.

    I always liked his MC Supersized.
    This just seems a tad lazy to me . . .

    I'd rather buy this than that confused mess! ;) :lol:

    If you like the Dino part and dig minifigures, you can always grab some Predasaurs, which have an appearance almost identically similar to this guy. Granted, there's a HUGE size difference, but they're still Super cool & Super cheap.

    The following 3 are from the "Predasaurs : DNA Fusion" line.

    2 years in the making??!! Time wasted!

    I like Ron's art, but it DOES NOT translate to toys. Someone please stop him!

    30 different parts? Is every single little head articulated?

    I feel bad for the people cutting the flash...unless it is Ron English himself :twisted:
