HUH. I hadn't discovered this before, but I was inspecting the Necrom Eyecon and found that on the back of both it and the Boost Eyecon, there are "reset" buttons. By using a toothpick or something to push it, regardless of what sound was queued next, it will default the toy back to the first phrase. In Boost's case the basic fiery sound, and for Necrom "Standby!"
Of course you could just more easily and quickly cycle through all the sounds in-between to get there... But I just thought this was a fun, useless, but mostly interesting little feature. |

Yeah. On its own the Eye cycles through a burning sound, sort of a... sparking sound, and an explosion. It also provides a continuous loop of that first burning sound throughout most of the standby jingles in the Ghost Driver and Sunglasslasher.

Oh damn it all. I got my order from HLj at last, SG 4 came with...three fucking Boosts. No one needs this many useless Boosts. I only got one Gaim. This is unfortunate. I'm vaguely interested in the idea of doing customs, so getting three of a completely useless Eyecon for these purposes sucks. Was hoping to use an extra Gaim for either a Baron or Kiwami Eyecon. Siiiiigh

Finally. All 15 are mine! Besides them only my custom ModViolet Eyecon is here. Boost, Ore, Specter, Ikkyu and Kamehameha are at my parents' place. Pythagoras is on the way from a friend

Maybe? They weren't randomly distributed in the box, so it may be deliberate. Maybe they're trying to keep the Legend Rider Eyecon kinda rare so they're limiting it to one a box, or something. Not really sure.
Anyway, I was moderately pleased to find that the SG Boost Eyecons aren't completely useless. I thought they were like Ikkyu, where there's nothing inside, but they actually have a fully functioning face-switching mechanism. It's just they use a filler piece of plastic instead of the actual piece with space for the stickers and everything. Not ideal, but usable to an extent. Maybe if I can find a way to cut off the flame horns without it looking like crap...kinda wanting to turn this into a Napoleon. Also, I love Gaim. Its colors are great, this thing is perfect. I was concerned the colors would look weird, but it's fantastic. I love it. It is making me seriously reconsider passing on the Legend Rider Set, because I want more Legend Rider Eyecons now. Alas, I am not made of money. Gaim is super sexy though. The candy toy Goemon and Ryoma are pretty cool. I wish Ryoma particularly was shinier, but they are both pretty good. I wasn't sure how I would feel about the flat stickers, but having in them in hand I quite like them. There's an added element of show-accuracy and it kinda makes me want to hunt down the rest of the Eyecons in SG form. I also gotta say, I much prefer the mechanism for the candy toys over the DX one. It takes slightly more force but just with that it just feels...better, somehow. It's nice, I like it. I also got the TV-Kun with Ikkyu. The magazine is pretty neat. I like the fact that it came with coloring pages, including some for Ghost. Incredible, really. The Ikkyu Eyecon isn't as bad as I thought it'd be. It's not great, but I don't hate it. The fact that it comes with two of the top stickers is a nice bonus, though. I'm thinking of trying to turn one of my leftover candy toy Eyecons into a proper Ikkyu... I should probably find a real way to display these. Last edited by barnstenchfartface; 02-12-2016 at 07:31 PM.. |
