Advent Calendar 08: I should've finished the Tribble Custom before the pics


 D
ue to my limited free time I have to take the ICftTTC pics a lot earlier than I make the reviews... and I wasn't going to keep Zak trapped for 9 months until I could review him. Sure. I COULD'VE Made him a February review, but that would leave me with a dry spell for December and I'm trying to have a Super7 themed Week, because while I call them out on their bullshit, their product can be good... overpriced but good. Is this the case with Zak, let's find out!
Zak: Stay away from our women!
Nick: Dude, I'm short for a human. You think I'll miss out on being the tall dude chicks dream of, because your game is as bad as mine? Dream on! I'm going to exploit my height advantage, Daddy-o! Hell, even the Turtles are taller than you!
Zak:LIES!
Nick: I'll prove it, Kody... Yo! Mikey, Licia, come over here... with an o and one m, Ashley...


Who is Zak? He's one of the three Hot-Rodding Teens from Dimension X. Think American Graffiti meets Hyrule and Back to the Future 2.
Mikey: Why are we standing here?
Zak: Hello there! 
Alicia: Niiick! SNES Link cosplaying as Captain Falcon is hitting on me!
Mikey: Zak, you're fucked...


Articulation:
Zak has standard Articulation. The shoulderpads impede arm articulation a bit.
4.0
Hugeass shoulderpad gets in the way.
Ignore the Toon Turtle in zak's comm


Paint and sculpt
The sculpt is obviously heavily inspired by the Playmates figure. The paintwork is a hybrid of BOTH variants of Zak... I do have a tiny complaint. The boot weapons. Why aren't these removable!?
Is this a Back to the Future 3 Reference?
Seriously, that's 2 extra accessories that would've given him an extra oomph! That he needs.
4.5

Accessories:
Hoverboard
Backpack
Gun
Rifle
Hose that connects from backpack to rifle
Turtle comm
Head
Hands

As I mentioned before, the extra gun and knife on his leg could've been an awesome addition. Y U No removable!?
But I have another complaint.
Banana in a hallway situation. 
The hose's hole is too big for the tiny peg it's supposed to connect to.

For these issues I have to knock a point.
4.0

Overall:
Now Zak has a final score of 4.17 which could've been higher if:
-The hose fit the rifle
-We had gotten sculpted parts instead of a sticker on the hoverboard
-The sculpted boot weapons were removable. 

He's not a bad figure, just needed to be about 20% cooler.
