Tomopop Review: Timmy the Toxic Slimeball

8:45 AM on 11.04.2008   |   Rio McCarthy

Timmy runs the streets of Tokyo with an iron stump. He defends the hard working citizens from the corrupt authorities while maintaining a blood alcohol level that would put the average man in the hospital. He's making the world a better place one blast of slime at a time, or so says the card that came inside the box.

The other day Timmy the Toxic Slimeball showed up at my door and I totally did an excited happy dance! You might remember the original post I did back in June. Timmy's creators were kind enough to send one my way to review, and now I've gotten to spend some quality time with the little mutant.

Hit the jump to see if this little guy slimed his way into my heart!

First off, I must say I am extremely excited to be holding a piece from Patch Together in my hands. I am a big fan of their premise and seeing this toy in my own two hands really makes me want to submit my own designs even more. As soon as I opened the box there was a nice card with a drawing of Timmy on one side, and the description of him that I wrote up above.

Timmy stands about 4 inches tall. It actually seems much bigger than I expected, which was a very nice surprise. I really like the purple color and the somewhat dirty look of the wings is quite neat as well. I absolutely love the design of the toy itself, and I feel it really translates well from the original sketch to the toy.

The only thing I found a little weird about this figure is the circle on the back that I assume must have been from the mold. It actually shows up much worse in my photo than it looks in person, so it's nothing to actually worry about, just thought it should be pointed out. I do like that there's a little Patch Together imprint though, as it just adds a nice little touch.

He comes with a great little toxic bottle accessory that fits well in his hand. That arm also moves, as do the wings which add a nice touch for a little poseability. He stands up very well. I've not had any problems with teetering or anything of the sort, so he's very solid.

As you can see this little ball of slime has definitely made his way into my heart and I'm very proud to have him in my collection. For just $27 each or $75 for the set of purple, green and blue. I suggest you head on over to Patch Together's store now and get your order in. It's an A+ in my book!
