So, we get the third dude from the Jem world introduced, and the BEST dude. Techrat. I don't really have much love for the male characters on Jem, except for Techrat, and Eric to a lesser extent. Eric Raymond is a dick, but he's supposed to be a dick and kind of a dumbass, and he's the perfect character for that. Rio and Riot are both dicks, but are supposed to be the hero characters. Fuck them. I hate both of them.
But I love Techrat. A man who is more connected to his computers and gadgets than he is with humans. Ahead of his time. Just like me. I don't particularly like to be touched, either. At least, not by people that I'm not comfortable with.
I just gotta brag. I totally nailed the guess on this one, even matching the sculpt. Of course, I didn't expect to have two heads for Techrat, but I understand why IT did it. They're a business, and businesses need to appeal to the biggest number of customers. The thirst for Homme dolls is at a fever pitch right now, so I completely understand them adding an extra head for those who might not be into the totally New Wave hairstyle that Techrat normally has.
I'm actually considering getting this guy. I did have Rare Treat Hansel at one point, and kind of regret selling him because I loved his Sprockets Nu.Wave look. Techrat may fill that void. I also LOVE his computer with the Gimme A Gimmick Pizzazz image on it. I kind of want him just for that. Gimme A Gimmick is also a great Misfits song. I don't know if it's in my Top 5 or not.
1. I Like Your Style
2. I Am A Giant
3. Takin' It All
4. Gimme Gimme Gimme
5. Abracadabra (maybe...?)
Hard choices.
