Wow! At last....

A couple of months ago I posted first pics of the much hyped Wow Stuff! prototype die-cast sonic that was announced early this year: http://celestialtoystore.blogspot.com/2010/08/wow-what-piece-of-shit.html

Let's face it, it looked like shit. Designworks of Windsor had obviously recycled the CO design and the end result was somewhat plasticky:

The good news is that in the interim the design has been jiggled around with and the final production versions began hitting UK shops this week. They have got rid of that stupid looking coupler in the middle of the cage section and given the emitter bulb a green tint. All good.

The bad news is that the fucking thing still looks plastic. There is a perfectly reasonable explanation for this, I'm told. That's because only the lower half is metal and the upper part is plastic. Size wise, it's about 10mm shorter than the toy and about 10mm shorter than the actual prop. Here's the moneyshot:

And here's the Wow Stuff pen which should send Elvisgump running to change his pants. It's actually a hell of a lot better than the dildo pink monstrosity seen in  the first official picture that was posted on the Argos UK site:

Here's the real deal:

The pen is actually not bad. Very shiny and quite cute in a novelty sort of way and should provide Elvisgump's right arm enough whack-off action to last him until Xmas.
