We’ve met Peas-in-a-Pod, Ken, Buttercup, Mr. Pricklepants, Trixie and Lotso. Now, say hello to the latest to join the Toy Story 3 gang, Twitch. Basically, Twitch is “MAN + INSECT = AWESOME!” No seriously, that’s what his official description says. Take a look:
Meet Twitch, the insectaloid warrior, where MAN + INSECT = AWESOME! This sturdy action figure stands over five inches tall, with more than 15 points of articulation, including ferocious chomping mandibles. Use his powerful wings and impenetrable exoskeleton to evade capture! Twitch is meticulously detailed and includes his signature magical battle staff and removable chest armor. For children ages 4 and up. Other insectaloid figures sold separately.
Even with a childhood filled with toys and regular trips to the store to buy more, I could never come up with such fresh and vivid characters. Just like his buddies, Twitch pops beautifully in this poster thanks to the black background. Who’s the next new edition to get his or her moment to shine? Perhaps it’ll be the purple octopus. That’s the last character shown in the film trailer who has yet to receive an online christening. The again, Mr. Pricklepants still hasn’t appeared on a poster, only in that ‘Drawn to Animation’ video.
