A good product for the whole family, this is the first time we've seen this monster in new who but it appeared in the classic series, most notably in 'Tomb of the Cybermen'. First of all the dreaded packaging. As usual it's like they don't want you to get to the merchandise the way they do it. It wasn't as hard as some other merchandise but it still involved you using scissors. The packaging does look good, showing the usual blue time vortex theme that went through a lot of merchandise the year this came out. Next the actual figure. As you can see from the picture opposite, it does have a lot of detail such as the rusting around the joints and eyes, I personally think they could have released another version with no rusting as the rusty version was for the episode 'Closing Time' so it would have been good to have one for what it would normally be like. It is very screen accurate and even the same sizes as the one seen in 'Closing Time' The only negative thing really about the way it looks is the front wheels which allow it to move about really stick out which makes it look less good. Finally as you can see from the picture it can move around providing it's in a flat open space which means you can't really play with it outside as it won't move over grass or any bumpy ground. I've found it works best on laminate flooring and it does move rather fast, really fun to watch any pets try and chase after it. It does make a lot of noise whilst moving but doesn't really take away any enjoyment. It may not be obvious that it doesn't come with a remote control, instead it finds it's way around using sense technology or something (could be witchcraft for all I know) hence the name 'Bump N' go'. It also has, as it says in the picture, motorised Tail action which means the tail moves around from side to side, again very screen accurate. Overall an enjoyable product and definitely worth it's price.
