This week I’m reviewing one of the most impressive toys I’ve looked at, the Hasbro Cloverfield toy. This piece was delayed and most people thought it was cancelled, then like the movie itself, Cloverfield popped out of nowhere. He sold out pretty quick too.
I got this sucker in the mail and I was immediately impressed. I’m not the kind of guy that does unboxing routines but I took two pictures to show this off.
Just look at that thing. Flawless box design, open it up and it’s even better. Clover himself is incredibly well articulated. All his joints move and he can go into an absurd amount of poses. He’s got a strong grip too. My wife wore him around on Halloween (she was dressed as the Statue of Liberty) and he managed to keep his grip the whole night. The box opens up into a backdrop of a partially destroyed New York City with images of the movie cast along the bottom.
He comes with two faces, both of which are fantastic. The ferocious roaring face and the oddly cute closed mouth face. He looks like a horrible monster puppy with the latter face. The roaring mouth features inflated breathing sacks, they look great.
The paint is consistently good. The only critique I can level on it is there’s no real transition between how dirty the “arms” are and the chest area. While it’s noticeable in the pictures, it didn’t bother me in the slightest in person.
It also comes with a few accessories too! There’s a ton of parasites and the destroyed head from the Statue of Liberty. You can see one of the feet for a size comparison. To top it all off, Cloverfield roars.
5/5. What a fantastic toy. If you’re a of the movie, you’ve got to get this. He’s huge and takes up a lot of space but he’s well worth it.
Buying Options : Doesn’t even show up on Hasbro’s site anymore, you’re stuck with Ebay.
