Toepick Feature Figure Review

Toepick Feature Figure's Face

Toepick is a 6 inch figure from wave 2 of the feature figure toy line in Ben 10: Omniverse. By pressing the button on his back, Toepick's eyes will push helmet open, revealing his face and gruesome eyes. The figure comes with a voice box that is compatible with the Omnitrix Touch.

Looks

The Toepick figure is one of the larger figures, and has a different mold compared to his regular articulated toy. I feel like the green for his helmet and armor is a little too swampy compared to the one in Omniverse. The metallic extensions next to the Omnitrix is also a little too light. Its also missing the middle middle part of the protrusions with light green coloring. His eyes on the helmet are also a little too large. Bandai also didn't color the three small bolts on top of his helmet/collar or the bottom part of the pipes. They also didn't color in his keyhole.

Snare-oh Figure Toy Review

Snare-oh is a 4 inch action figure from Ben 10: Omniverse. He comes with a translucent green mini-figure that is compatible with the Omnitrix Shuffle. When used with the Omnitrix Shuffle, the toy will shout Snare-oh's name and you can hear his bandage sound effect when you shake the Omnitrix.

Looks

This is our first Snare-oh figure since the original series (back when he's known as Benmummy). Now with his Omniverse figure, this figure looks quite accurate to the show. I like his shiny gold paint and eyes on his shoulders. They even sculpted in all the bents his bandages have, like the ones on his back or his fingers. My biggest complaint about it is Snare-oh bottom is not colored in. His mini-figure has a surprising amount of detail on it despite its size.

Articulation

Snare-oh has nine points of articulation. He can rotate his arms 360, though it gets stuck on his bandages, however the bandages are rubbery so its not really a problem. I don't recommend dong it though. He has can bend at his elbows. He can lift his legs forward but not so much backwards. He can bend at his knees. His head is on a ball joint, so you can make him look 360 degrees and slightly upwards and downwards.  

Trivia

• Snare-oh is one of the few Ben 10 action figures that has a ball joint. Some others includes Spidermonkey and Crashhopper.

Azmuth Figure Review

Today on the Omnicoid Void I'll be reviewing the 4 inch figure of the first thinker Galvan himself, Azmuth! This version of the figure is from the Destroy All Aliens line of toys.

Azmuth Figure

During the premiere of Ben 10: Destroy All Aliens, Bandai created a wave of figures from the movie, all of which are just re-releases of older toys with new packaging and a lack of accessories.

This Azmuth is based of his Ultimate Alien and Alien Force counterpart. This figure has a large glaring flaw being the miscolored clothing, which isn't supposed to have purple and is detailed wrongly. Bandai would later release the figure with accurate colors in a Haywire set, which featured pre-existing aliens with another aliens' color scheme. A little ironic if you think about it.

Can I Keep It? Review

Today I'm going to review the second episode of Ben 10 reboot's second season, Can I Keep It?

The episode is about Ben wanting to get a pet, but his allergies to most common house pets prevents him from doing that. However, he stumbles upon a weird hybrid between a cat, dog and a rabbit, the Catdobbit. Now Ben has to hide his new friend from Grandpa Max and Gwen, but is the animal all it seems to be?

So apparently Ben is allergic to most household pets, like dogs and cats. I guess the reboot is lucky that it didn't show Ben interacting with these animals before or else they'd mess with the character. Max then says even if Ben get over his allergies, he hasn't shown that he's responsible enough to take care of a pet. Fair point, as he was shown to be preeeeeety immature throughout the series thus far.

Out to Launch Review

Out to Launch is the first episode of season 2 in Ben 10.

The episode is about VIlgax hijacking a space plane for its powerful energy source. Ben has to stop him with a help of a new function in the Omnitrix.

We're introduced to another throwaway human character, her name is Betts McCabe, voiced by Cree Summer. She wants to pilot the plane but is disappointed that it is on auto pilot. Then Vilgax hijacks the ship and locks her in the storage room. Ben has to save her and get rid of Vilgax before he flies away.

The jokes in this episode isn't the best that the show has given us, and the pacing in it feels a bit fast. It seems like they wanted to show a bit more story but didn't had enough time. I'm really glad they gave Vilgax scars, not only does it show a sense of continuity but it also improves on his previous design that looks a bit simplistic around the head. The Upgrade Omnitrix looks really good from a far as well.
