After waiting way longer than I should've, I finally got my package from hot topic. With this little figure, Glow In the dark Foxy!
Now normally we'd see what it's called a little sticker on the front, but weirdly, there isn't one.
There's only a sticker telling us that this is a hot topic exclusive.
Now if you're utterly confused as to why this figure was made, I have a relatively easy answer for you.
Generally foxy is one of the most popular characters and most likely sells the most merchandise.
Think about it, funtime foxy was made into a figure out of the blue,
Totally not fitting the theme. And phantom foxy was made into a plush,
But none of the other phantoms have been made yet.
Foxy was made into a large plush, along with nightmare foxy.
And so was funtime foxy. And foxy was even made into a way bigger plush during black Friday!
So like the Glow-in-the-Dark mystery minis this box,
It was just a way to recycle a popular model.
And hopefully get some more money. if you're a collector like me
I would recommend not getting this figure. Not that there's anything wrong with him
It's just that you already have him, this one is only slightly different colored and can glow in the dark in the dark.
Ordinarily I would not have bought him.
it's just not worth it to me. On the other hand though if you're an avid fan of
Foxy and wants every bit of merchandise of him, then this could end up being one of your most prized pieces.
He's certainly not as accurate as the other foxy figure, but he does have a relatively neat Gimmick.
So really there's lots of angles to look at this. some may hate it, and others may love it.
It's really up to you to decide. in my opinion
It's not really worth nearly $19 when I have an almost identical figure, but I definitely don't hate it.
there are far more things in this world for me to hate.
as for the differences between this guy and normal foxy, the first and most obvious difference is the slightly different color change.
his snout and chest is not painted the lighter color, which I assume is to help them glow better. I'm not sure. and
Glow foxy is also more mat looking. the material he's made of isn't as shiny as foxy's which I think is an improvement.
There's also one other thing which may have been an improvement made with later figures,
But I wouldn't know. But my foxy his hand was so loose I almost lost it it! it kept falling out so I glued it in.
But with this foxy, It doesn't even seem like his hand is removable, which has its perks.
and it's let downs. actually I never really mentioned it in my last review
But all of the new figures are incredibly hard to take apart. in fact, most of them can't even have their heads removed!
It's really sad this is the case, we can't mix up the figures like we did in the past.
but like I said before, it does have a few perks.
For instance moving your figure into the other room or traveling with it,
You won't need to worry about anyone losing limbs along the way.
I don't really know how I feel about the more stiff and put together figures?
I love the old and the new ones just about the same.
This foxy is a lot like our newest wave. much more stiff and difficult to pull apart.
Now let's get to how well this guy can actually glow. believe it or not,
I used to think that glow in the dark items had to sit under the sun to charge, but in reality any light can work.
even using the flashlight on your phone. flash it a few times and turn out the lights!
Uhhh, Foxy?
Wow.
Foxy doesn't Glow well at all of course.
It's harder for the camera to pick up, but he glows in that ultra Faint way,
Where you squint and ask yourself if you're only seeing things?
In other words this figure barely glows,
Compared to two of the glow in the dark mystery minis, we can see what he should have looked like. I
Don't believe glow in the dark should have been a selling point for this disappointment.
for a last attempt I'll set glow foxy on a windowsell all day, and we'll see if he can glow tonight. and
That did absolutely nothing.
So in the end would I buy glow foxy? definitely not. do I like glow foxy. Yeah? he's okay...
Would I burn glow foxy? absolutely not, get that out of your head people, I only burn bootlegs!
well...
and maybe...
Anyway, thanks so much for watching this guy's. I hope you all have an awesome night. Goodbye!
