[Aika Car Car Fun Talk Original]
Two consecutive episodes of the show, we are playing with the characters in the G1 animation, Transformers movie fans don't worry, this episode of the show is finally your turn to "dish"! This appearance is definitely a big boss level - a toy based on lockdown confinement, the fourth major villain of the Transformers series of movies, Peru Kill by Unique Toys.
Lockdown's setting in the Transformers movie is unique, as he is neither a Carman nor a member of the Decepticons faction, but a bounty hunter commissioned by transformer creator Quintasha to come to Earth to capture Optimus Prime. In the movie, this character can be called a black hand, the opening killed Optimus Prime's good helper ambulance, and then blew the protagonist's fluffy friend into ashes, and then used the "face cannon" sneak attack in the distance to seriously damage Optimus Prime, and the end of the movie was only under the joint siege of Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and several humans. It can be said that in terms of combat effectiveness alone, confinement is better than the villains Wei Zhentian, Fallen King Kong, and Predator in the first three movies.
Lockdown, the cold and cruel bounty hunter, the ambulance, the lead foot, the male protagonist's friend Lucas all died at his hands, and in terms of the sense of horror and oppression brought to the audience, confinement should be the leader of all villains.
As a third-party manufacturer without Transformers copyright, Unique Toys (hereinafter referred to as UT), this toy produced by the toy, naturally can not risk infringement to use the name "Lockdown", but their own name of this "Peru Kill" is also really confusing, welcome to understand the origin of this name card friends can not hesitate to teach, in the comment area to leave a word for the small editor of science popularization.
The confinement vehicle in the film takes the form of a Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4.
Although the name is not ideal, I have to admit that the quality of this toy produced by UT is really excellent, the human form is extremely restored, the deformation logic is clear, the steps are not cumbersome, whether it is bought to play or collected as a display, it is quite good. The one I have in my hand is a brand new unopened one purchased from a treasure and costs 540 yuan. To say more, this toy is more recommended that you buy a brand new one in a treasure, and try not to buy a second-hand fish. The reason is very simple, because the shape and deformation design is excellent, this third-party production of the copyrightless toy actually has counterfeit products, but also two, the current price of the two counterfeit products are about 200 yuan, and UT's genuine products on a fish is also about 500 yuan, no cheaper than Taobao to buy too much, so there is no need to risk buying counterfeit products to a fish Tao second-hand.
The size of the box of UT confinement is really not small, the box painting also goes to the dark style, which matches the temperament of the character, the front shows the model part, the back is the picture of the humanoid and accessories, as for the playable age 3+ in the corner, please allow me to scold: pure nonsense. Although the toy deformation step is not complicated, it is still an adult toy, why do you say so? Look down and you'll see.
UT Peru Kill's outer packaging is played with a dark style, and the setting of confinement in the movie is quite matched.
In addition to the main body of the toy in the form of a vehicle, it includes a pet confined in the movie, a mechanical hellhound named Steel Tongs, a large gun (which can simulate the famous scene in the movie, the face is changed into a gun), a hook that can be attached to the hand of a humanoid, a replacement mask, a seed bomb, a character card, and a deformed explanatory paper.
Unpacked contents: a car, a gun, a dog, a hook, a mask, a seed bomb, and of course, an indispensable character card.
The toy is doing well, but this deformation shows that it is a little simple, a piece of paper is done, and the pamphlet of the last issue X Society cannot be compared.
Honestly speaking, the morphological reduction of the vehicle of UT confinement is relatively general, and the proportion of the model is compared with the real Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4, the length of the front and body is a little shorter, and the proportion is not very coordinated; the lamp shape is biased, and the front windshield area is also significantly small; coupled with the need for deformation, the body side seams are too much, which affects the reduction of the model.
The mode of restoration of the model is general, the proportion of the body is slightly out of balance, and the front body is a bit short, which belongs to the sacrifice of some models for the human form.
However, there are also places that are more in place, such as fairly good metallic paint, as well as the wheel rim shape that is consistent with the real car, and the brake caliper with the interior paint, the details are still OK.
The tires are made of rubber and have good rolling.
The large seams at the rear of the car are really eye-catching, and no matter how hard you press them, it will not help.
The chassis is very compact and full, and the limbs under the human form are basically not visible, and there are no particularly protruding parts.
The big gun can also be installed in the hole in the roof of the car, but the violation is not a blow.
As mentioned earlier, the overall deformation logic of this toy is relatively clear, the steps are not very many, compared to the nearly 100 steps of the last phase of the X Society brake, this UT confinement deformation step is only about half of the former, and the car changes everyone to change the car to play twice basically can be completely remembered. Again as the old rule, we cut together the wonderful scenes confined in the movie and the stop-motion animation of toys turning from cars to people into a small video:
However, although there are not many deformation steps, and most of the deformation parts are relatively large pieces of tossing and turning, but some of the areas that need to exert force are really a bit difficult, coupled with the overall material is hard, there is still a certain risk of injury during the play, which is why I think this toy is not suitable for children to play.
UT lockdown – the model is slightly inadequate
The degree of reduction in human form can be called impeccable, and it is also the most reductive of all the current confinement variable toys. First of all, the face portrayal is extremely realistic, almost completely copying the ghostly and terrifying face of the skull-like forbidden in the movie, and the small eyes with green translucent pieces are even more impressive.
If the shape of the vehicle can only be regarded as unsatisfactory, then the human form of this toy is amazing, whether it is a face sculpture or a body shape, it is quite restored, and even the details of the scar on the chest are not missed.
Compared with the confinement face in the movie, this face can almost be called fake and real.
In terms of body proportions, UT's confined legs seem to be slightly longer than the prototype in the movie. Wide breasts, thin waist and long legs, toys must also keep up with the aesthetics of modern people, right? In addition, it is worth mentioning that this vehicle is a sports car toy, and the shell of the car is basically invisible in the human form, and there is no extra "backpack" on the back, which is very refreshing. This also reflects the subtlety of the design of this toy from the side, after all, the official homework is still a fooling child with a "turtle shell". It is not easy for third-party works to surpass official toys in terms of deformed design and reduction.
Without any "backpack", how rare it is for a Transformer whose vehicle is a car, I believe every player knows it very well.
The back also has a spine-like portrayal, which is quite in place.
The mobility of the toy is also very good, the head, shoulders, elbows, crotch, knees can be moved in a large range, and the knee joint also adopts a gear joint. There are many movable joints, and it is rare that the tightness of each joint is still very moderate, neither will there be a problem of breaking the strenuousness, nor will there be a particularly loose and unstable distress, but the hands-on design is slightly slender, and there is no design to grasp the grooves or holes of the weapon, and it takes a little effort to pose for holding the big gun with both hands.
In addition to the use of metal materials in a few parts such as the crotch, most of the body around the UT confinement is plastic, so although the size is not small, the weight is not exaggerated.
The classic floor-pounding posture is not a problem for UT confinement, which is quite mobile.
The playability of the human form is very high, not only can you change the mask face, but also put a large gun on the head in the state of the mask face, perfectly reproducing the classic scene in the movie: confinement and long distance with the "face cannon" two combo hit Optimus Prime and knock it unconscious. The hook claw is then mounted on the wrist to reproduce the clip of confinement dragging optimus prime with a hook.
The face can be easily removed and replaced with a mask from the accessory.
Only under the premise of changing into a mask face can you reproduce the classic "face cannon" scene in the movie
Although it is only an accessory, the mechanical Hellhound "steel tongs" are also very mobile, the head and limbs can be moved in a wide range, and I personally feel that the reprinted brown-black livery is more beautiful than the silver livery of the original version.
There are also holes in the back of the dog that can be used to insert a gun, which is very contrary to the model gun, and the dog carrying the gun is still quite powerful.
Conclusion: Even though I once said that compared to G1 animation, the toys of the Transformers movie line are not my favorite, but in the face of UT confinement, which is excellent in terms of reduction and deformation design, I still can't help but buy a collection. Of course, the successful shaping of the character of the movie Confinement is the main point that impresses many Transformers players, especially in the fourth film of Transformers, where the storyline is really lackluster, the fierce confinement and the appearance of the dinosaur troops in the later stage have largely reversed the negative impact of the sparse plot and the embarrassing performances of a large number of human actors.
UT Confinement – The human form is perfect
