WClub Exclusive Doll - Techrat (from Jem)!

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.
