Attack of the Coneheads! 52Toys Beastbox BB-52 Downspiral and BB-52IC Icicle Rated and Reviewed

BB-52 Downspiral is a well-designed, cone-headed Beastbox prehistoric sea creature that’s a great cross section of sophistication and simplicity, playability and display-ability, and design & engineering with an unusually high quality color scheme for a standard release figure.
This review covers details about this excellent release, comparison with its limited edition counterpart BB-52IC Icicle, its gantry system bonus item and hybrid “rocket” mode, the notoriety surrounding 52Toys’ 52nd figure release, a transformation demo and a wrap-up with a Box Grade and some final notes.
This is my 99th video release on KZbin, and I’ll be back as soon as I can with a tribute to Beastbox/Megabox/Infinitybox collecting for my 100th video.
I hope all of my American friends are having a fantastic 4th of July weekend, and remember: once you light it, you should no longer be holding it. 🎆🧨💥👋

In case you were wondering, I did in fact chug a beer while filming this episode. File that under "shit you thought you'd never see in a toy review", I guess. 🤷‍♂🍺

This was my favourite figure from the line last year, realy stood out to me as something special. Great work, as always. I always love coming back and hearing your opinions in comparison to mine on Toy Reel

[@XMattingly]

Thanks, man! Yeah, I agree -- I'd have to jog my memory about which ones stood out the most to me last year, but this one is a standout; I almost regret not getting Downspiral sooner. I'll have to go back and watch your review, as well. 😎

Man great review as always good sir! Love this mold. The Icicle is beautiful. Would love a Clear Red one for another repaint. Youre freakin awesome!

[@XMattingly]

@@DeluxeBaldwin Thanks, Deluxe - I really appreciate the compliment! Yeah, I really like this mold; I think a red one could be really good. Probably no hope of ever seeing it released as a Final Edition, but I have zero doubt they’ll do at least one more repaint of Downspiral. Hope you’re having a great 4th weekend. 🎇✌️
