Editorial Review

Stan Winston, creator of creatures like Predator and Pumpkinhead, has done it again with a series of frightful figures from the updated television special Creature Features. The Visitor is the manifestation made from a young boy's imagination after he watches a late-night monster movie. But as the Visitor begins a violent rampage, the psychic boy can no longer control his creation. The figure blends in well with the easily assembled diorama and sturdily adheres to it once placed there. The details on the base are incredible, with branches and rocks flawlessly painted to look realistic. The figure itself offers limited detailing, save the sharp teeth and eerie eyes in the well-done facial definition. Bendable appendages on the upper body make for a smooth transition from base to figure, but because of the weak joints, it's easy for an arm to become detached, causing frustration when posing the creature. Since the Visitor is intended for display using the base, it does not stand well on its own. A CD-Rom is also included, telling about the making of the Visitor and a look into what's coming next from Stan Winston Studios. -- A. Galindo

This review is from: Stan Winston Creatures : The Visitor (Toy)

Im not much into toys. In fact this is the first toy I've bought in a long time. The colors and composition of the whole piece really appealed to me. I think that it is so cool that Stan Winston has gone from movies to toys! and the CD-Rom isn't a bad extra either.
