Reaction Predator

Oh my, the Predator seems to have shrunk! No, not really. This pocket-sized Predator is produced by Reaction figures, and it only seemed fitting that I reviewed him in a jungle!

Mini Arnold does not approve. The Reaction Predator has strong standing abilities, and Mini Arnold wrongly thought this stream would sweep him away. Silly Mini Arnold! The Reaction Predator has a great paintjob, a stream won’t even wear off the white paint on his skulls!

Like in the movie, this Yautja comes with his deadly wrist blades, and this figure comes with the shoulder gun and mask. While the gun prevents his head from turning, his arms and legs rotate at the shoulder and crotch. Don’t get this figure if you want full articulation. But come on, who could resist a Predator that can fit in Star Wars vehicles?

Oh no, he’s trapped Mini Arnold on a waterfall! This Predator is 3.75″ scale and stands around 4″ tall, giving the Reaction Alien some competition. There are many styles available, including this masked one, invisible (clear plastic), open-mouthed, closed-mouthed and special editions such as blood-splatterd and heat-vision. In fact, the line consists of only Predators! The figure I’m using for Dutch is actually a Chap Mei figure.

I’m going to have to wrap up this review because the Predator is closing in on Mini Arnold and he can’t hold his breath underwater forever. All in all, if you need a cheap Predator figure that can terrorize Boba Fett and Alan Grant, go for this one. There’s a wide variety, and they are cheap enough to build an army of them or collect them all.

RATING- FOUR OUT OF FIVE 3.75″ SKULLS.

Oh dear, wrong time!

‘This isn’t London!…Oh wait, yes it is, but it’s 70 million years too early….’

If you’re a Doctor Who fan, you definitely need to pick up the Spin and Fly TARDIS. It’s designed for the 3.75″ figures, and as the Ninth Doctor would say, it’s fantastic! It’s not really bigger on the inside, it’s just a backdrop of the TARDIS interior, but it makes up for it- when you lift it up, it makes de-materialising noises, and when you place it on a flat surface, it makes materialising noises- obviously! The TARDIS light flashes when it’s making noise or still in the air, and stays on for about 3 minutes after the noises stop. Which brings me to a point-it’s really loud! It sounds like a real TARDIS, not a plastic one! Definitely do not give to children in the early morning when it’s switched on. The TARDIS is quite durable, too, and I’ve had mine take a few turbulent flights that ended up in crash landings…

The gimmick of the Spin and Fly TARDIS is that it comes with a clear ‘flight cradle’ that clips into the base, allowing you to hold the cradle while the TARDIS wibbles and wobbles around on top while you zoom it around the living room. Of course, it doesn’t spin by itself, but who cares? It’s already exceeded expectations by this point.

The one in the picture is the Twelfth Doctor’s version with a red interior, but the previous Doctor’s green interior-ed TARDIS is out there too.

So, if you want a TARDIS that is smaller-yet-louder than life, look no further than this one! Now, I’m going to help the Doctor escape that dinosaur!
