So, this is a fish frog with a bowl brain and some high-tech armor that may or may not be permanently attached to his body. It’s a really strange idea if you look at the parts, but the Alien is so alien that you have to love the effort that went into it. Let’s make it as strange as possible and let kids figure out what to do with it. It’s a pretty good plan, if you’re open minded (heh… couldn’t resist).
There’s a lot of tooling here that could probably never be reused, but is it too original of a design? The dome sticking into the head might creep out or frighten younger players, but yet the entire presentation is fun. Is he a crazy warlord from a distant planet looking to conquer the entire galaxy? Or is he a friendly visitor, making a quick stop on Earth for a jar of Nutella and a bagel and forgetting where he parked?
The alien comes with a cape and a long ceremonial staff. Or maybe it’s his car key. The cape is popular with the Glyos crowd so if you’re having trouble finding this guy, customizers probably beat you to him.
It’s a good figure, although his design is crazy enough that you might either dislike him or really love him. And that’s the beauty of Imaginext. You don’t have to like everything, but there’s guaranteed to be something that you do.
