Title:
Rhinox
Description:
Rhinox (Voyager Class, 2014)
Series / Number: 02 / 005
Accessories: Two Gatling Guns of Doom
Part of the fifth wave of Generations Voyagers, Thrilling 30 Rhinox takes inspiration from both the original toy and especially his appearance in the cartoon. Included are Rhinox’s twin "Gatling Guns of Doom”, which can be stored in his rhino mode and have a spinning gimmick when you press down on the little lever/button whatevers on the sides. Although the discs of the gatling guns are silver in the stock photography, the final product leaves them in an unpainted brownish color, similar to the color of the levers.
Rhinox’s instructions neglect to mention a few things—the slot below the robot head that plugs into a tab on the inside of the rhino head that holds the two pieces together in beast mode, the fact that the sliding elbow pieces can click into place in both modes, and the holes on the back of the shoulders that can be used to store the weapons in robot mode.
Early runs of Rhinox were known to have extremely loose knee joints, to the point the figure was unable to stand up unless posed in a way that offsets his very top-heavy design. Later samples seemed to have resolved the knee issue, but the figure’s feet have uneven soles which can still lead to balance problems. Rhinox does feature a waist swivel, but it’s intended for transformation, meaning the waist must be mistransformed via extending to use it. Lastly, Rhinox’s hands feature extended index fingers in a trigger position, which ironically obstruct the guns themselves and prevent them from being inserted completely into the 5 mm pegholes.
