Disclaimer: This is an humorous review, purposely exagerated to be funny.
Today I'll review the most epic model ever conceived by the creative brains at Mattel Inc.: The 2000 edition of Rodzilla! Forget about Exotos, Auto Worlds, Minichamps, MBX and any other peasant model. Nothing can be closer to perfection than this model.
Design and accuracy: 19/10
I can imagine. One day, at night, Larry Wood went to his bed and he had a revelation:
"For the 1988 line, I'll design the best model ever made! It'll be the dream of every child: A dragon with a V8 engine!"
And this is the result of that revelation. It's perfect replicated from his vision down to every single scale! The dragon earns a 10/10, and the engine got a 9/10 because it doesn't really work with gasoline, beign only decorative. So the total is 19/10.
Fit and Finish: 1st/10
Yes it is very fit, look at its muscles! And how it reclines and grabs its hips' wheels without giving a single f***. Plus, it always finish 1st, in every race it races, because it breaths fire and exterminates the oponents. Wouldn't you give it space if you saw this face on your mirror?
Features: 10/10
It flies, it breaths fire, it protects treasure, it runs on methanol, gasoline, diesel and it makes 50 mpg (HWY) on knight's blood. It also has 4 functional wheels and a turning neck.
Value: 10/0 = priceless
HOW CAN YOU PUT A VALUE IN SOMETHING SO EPIC??????
Well, in 2000 my parents paid R$4,00 for it in a toy store. Besides, it's part of my "sweet 20", the first 20 models I got 15 year ago, that started my colletion.
Rarity: idk/10
I really don't know about the rarity of this model, but since it is almost 15 years old I can take it to History Channel's Pawn Stars and say it's an antique.
Total: potato/50
Should you get one?
