clear purple guts Eyezon

I got one, and I finally understand what all the fuss is about. This thing is awesome and I highly recommend it. It is massive, and looks great however you may pose it. Also VERY fun to play with along with Glyos figures. I will never get tired of having it grab a Pheyden and throw 'im around.

Only two complaints. One, it's not as squishy as I'd like. But if it were more squishy, it probably wouldn't be as heavy, so it's a fair trade-off.

Two, the inserts in the arms and legs, some of them don't like to stay put. The one in the left arm in mine kept falling down, leaving the visible hand inside far too low and looking strange. I eventually fixed it with some Silly Putty, making his armpit look a bit off instead.

With Japanese vinyl, usually

With Japanese vinyl, usually translucent vinyl is softer than opaque vinyl. But Eyezon is Chinese vinyl - the same rules don't seem to apply. Compare my Vegetius to Eyezon - both clear, but substantial difference in vinyl hardness.

Japanese vs. Chinese vinyl

Yeah, I remember reading that Max Toy Co. vinyls are made in China. NekroDave mentioned it in his SDCC Alien Xam review, concerning an issue with the paint. However I didn't know just how different the material itself would be. When I got my Alien Xam (green/purple), I couldn't believe how hard it was! And Eyezon is only a little bit softer.
