8935 Nocturn Review

[Zane]

My photography skills are not what they were. Nothing like KMOI's. Anyways, on to it.

So, the box. You've seen it before. In a dream. 0_0 Anyways, yes. It's a bit misleading, as the greeny-blue parts are actually a plain baby blue. Nice stance, really, and makes the set look bon. There's a litle GitD icon there. Don't know why though. :-P

The back of the box. Another nice stance at the top to show off the set, with squid launcher instructions. Barraki to the left of him, Mahri to the right, here he is, stuck in the middle of the two. Oh yeah. Oh, and the security protected sticker probably won't be on yours. It's Woolworths' fault...I hate them. JOKING.

So, the innards. Instructions and three bags. The largest one on the left is more rubber-y than the crunchy normal ones, which I'm sure you were dying to know. Yup. All looks good here.

Notable parts here. Lime Piraka foot, bendy silver tentacle, two red eyes, crappy rubber squid launcher and squids, a Hordika neck, a new ball joint, a GitD blue Carapar head, two semi-glowing blue Ehlek spines and one of the many trans blue joints. I would have liked more green in the blue parts...either that or turn the lime into Metru blue. Anyway.

The build of the body. The left side is where the legs attach, the right side is the arms and head. The head attaches to the trans blue joint, and the two blue pegs attach the Ehlek spines sideways on, to spread over his shoulders.

The lower jaw now. A simple Piraka foot, and a Hordika neck. The holes on the top allow the top of the head to be added.

The two pegs here clip into them, see. The red eyes can fall out if you don't get them in quite right. Two silver viking horns there as well (there's also a spare one), and three lime Viking horns run along the forehead on the other side.

The right leg. Or the left leg, if you're a pessimist. Or want it to be the left leg. The point is that they are the same. Anyways, you've got your piston there and the GitD thigh armour. Though I hate this Piraka feet design, it works here, as they're more flipper-like.

Add the legs and the arms to the main body and you'll get this. Yes. I do realize the silver Viking horn on one of the legs, yes. Bad lighting when building.... Not much more to say here...

Anyways, add your spines, head, weapons, tentacle, and cruddy launcher and you'll be done. Oh, and you can clip the squids to the legs if you want...

A closeup of the body build and launcher. Naturally, you remove the launcher. It looks awkward with only one tentacle though. Would have liked another one more than this piece of junk. It's not even plastic. Just lame. Doesn't look good, doesn't work. The swords also seem out of place. Claws might have been better, but meh.

The spines join at the back here. Like that.

I'll add more opinions and possibly photographs once my eye stops hurting. ;-)

YOU HAVE NOCTURN!! 8-

Looks nice. Is it sturdy? BTW the GITD pieces are from Takadox. *wub* Also he said Woolsworth.

[Zane]

It's pretty study I'd say. But it doesn't look good in many poses. Just looks awkward in most...

[Zaktan of the Shadows]

So, do you like him or not? Nice pics by the way... *y*

Thanks for the review and pictures (although I don't really need them, since I already have Nocturn. :-P ). He's a really cool set, and he is AWESOME for parts. Lime green, trans blue, and glow in the dark blue galore! *sweet*

[Zaktan of the Shadows]

Ooh, I hope I get him tommorow, its my birthday. Sounds great!

The spines don't look TOO glowy, but I still want'em.

Hey... how many of those black balls does Nocturn come with?

Those things are mocing gold.

From what I can understand, you...aren't too happy with it. Anyway. I like Nocturn, he's a nice looking set with excellent MOCing parts.
