00:13he may be too heavy for a dead branch but he's the right weight for your shelf
00:17here's a look at the brand new star race ray harryhausen clash of the titans bubo 6.5 inch
00:23defo style figure bring a piece of cinematic history to your collection with the defo style
00:34bubo figure from star race inspired by ray harryhausen's iconic work this stylized rendition
00:39of the beloved mechanical owl from clash of the titans blends nostalgic charm with a modern
00:43collectible design standing approximately 6.5 inches tall bubo features articulated wings that
00:48extend outward and a head that turns giving you multiple display options that capture his curious
00:53and expressive personality now i may not be able to know what the owl is saying simply just by his
00:58clicks and wheezes but what i do know though is that the star race ray harryhausen clash of the
01:03titans bubo is slated to actually start flying out january 2027 the price online 75 and 99 cents big
01:12thank you to the folks over at star race that were kind enough to provide this early sample let's get
01:15things underway by grabbing my trusty tape measure the tape measure does not click and wheeze by the
01:21way so it's a lot easier to understand what i do seem to understand is that the figure of bubo
01:25stands
01:26about six and a half inches he stands also about 16 centimeters tall along with bubo you get yourself
01:33not an instruction booklet but rather an instruction sheet just to show you though the two different ways
01:38that you can pose the bird for starters it does have a rotating head it does also have fanned out
01:43wings
01:43that we'll look at more in a moment let's put the pamphlet to the side here for a second the
01:48figure does also come include quite the very nice decorative base what i find is funny is if you pick
01:54up to the two both the bird and the base you'll find that the base feels heavier now on the
01:58bottom
01:59of the base it does say ray harryhausen bubo defo style figure and of course it's produced with the
02:04permissions of the ray harryhausen foundation and the folks producing it at star race the base itself i feel
02:11could have metal in it although it doesn't feel like it's necessarily cool to the touch it does
02:15have though some really nice sculpt work in there of course it does also have bubo and ray harryhausen
02:19just in case you forget the name of the bird it doesn't really necessarily attach by magnets so when
02:25you go to put the bird on it necessarily there really isn't something that clasps with its talons
02:30onto the base i would have loved had there been a way maybe they could have incorporated especially
02:35like right here these two points underneath the bird's claws i think would have also been ideal
02:41places to put magnets so if you wanted to and attached onto the display base i'm also really
02:45thinking too if you happen to have this on the shelf and it happens to bang having it be at
02:50least
02:50attached to the display base via magnets would make a little more secure stable fate stable way for the
02:56bird to stand upright moving the base off to the side let's get now a closer look at bubo if
03:02you are
03:02again a fan of the original 80s film i like clash of the titans the original film i wasn't as
03:06much of
03:07a fan of the remakes now of course in the uh the original film we get uh this mechanized bird
03:13and i
03:14gotta say like they've really done a nice job on this most of this has been captured clearly with a
03:19use of a gold and a silver but again like looking at the sculpting of all the feathers for example
03:24there's a nice like layered effect that they've done now again there's not much weight really in this
03:30bird itself but i feel like even if it doesn't have as much weight it more than makes up for
03:34it
03:34in the sculpting alone has the ruby stoned eyes there on the front these would more in the movie
03:40actually rotate they don't rotate however though you can take the bird's head and turn it um we'll
03:46kind of talk more about the possibility i guess well i guess there's really not much to cover
03:49necessarily the bird's head for all intents and purposes could really rotate all the way around
03:55now a normal bird you really wouldn't want to do that because it would kill the bird instantly but
03:58if being that this is a robotic bird you might be able to get away with that again the face
04:03just
04:04looks as iconic as the bird did in the film it was one thing that's also interesting about this bird
04:09is that the the owl does also have articulation in its wings the way that they've actually devised it
04:15there's a hinge on the inside and it looks like it's using a ball joint so because that you can
04:20move
04:21the the wing back and forth only just a little bit but you can also fan the wings outward
04:25now i find i have an easier time to bring the wing out this side than i do on this
04:30side i don't know
04:31if it is the case that i'm looking at both sides here like they've just allotted just this much
04:37space i mean there's very little space actually for the wing to fan out i can't think that maybe
04:43there could be one way that they could have done differently here they if they had only trimmed the
04:47feathers back just a little bit here on the top because it doesn't leave really much space for the wing
04:52to fan out i mean right right again here i can move this wing out a little bit easier on
04:57this
04:57side than i can on this side and i think maybe it could be because that feather see these feathers
05:02from the bottom of the head play real close in quarters to the top of the wing i can't really
05:08bring
05:08the wing any more than that i'm sure there must be a way that the wings can actually move further
05:12out from this because again like it does seem like this side does it the only problem with that though
05:16is
05:16you don't really know how much tolerances you have the last thing i really would want to have is for
05:22the wing to break off it doesn't look like i mean even if it was to really come off it
05:26looks like
05:27really there's a ball joint right there or maybe yeah it looks like it's been pegged in place because
05:32again a wing can move outward it's the only thing i would have really done differently here with again
05:36bubo is just trimmed back the feather right here and made just enough space on this side so the wing
05:42actually in fact could move further out than what it does right now there is also technically
05:47possibility here uh with the talons if again you want to you know you can turn these only just a
05:52little bit i find actually this one moves a little easier than this side but i don't think it necessarily
05:57needs to have much possibility down below here considering it does already have it in the head
06:01and it does have it in the wings again the only thing i worry really about is like how much
06:06far
06:06how far out can i really move those wings like right there it feels like that's as far as those
06:11wings
06:12will go again i don't know maybe say this already maybe if they had just only made this a little
06:18higher just made enough of a space between the two you might be in fact able to move the wings
06:23further
06:24out than that now this one again is selling well right now it's a pre-order on online sites that
06:29generally are stocking star race figures this one's selling for 75 in addition to that though they've
06:35actually got a whole bunch of different bubo's available ones that are a little bit more elaborate
06:39ones that are a little bit also heavier as well they've done like also the patina deluxe editions
06:43where you've had like wing out versions wing in versions but if you want the more affordable route
06:48of getting a bubo for your shelf especially if you're a big fan of the original ray harry housing
06:52clash of the titans this would certainly be the more affordable route to go as it's certainly the
06:56cheaper of the options that they made available while i wouldn't be able to lead you to the shrine and
07:00even if i did there'd be no way at all i don't have the wingspan to carry you all at
07:03once
07:04i can at least lead you in the direction if you're looking to get one of these for yourself
07:08online sites just as the example big bad toy store has the listing right now for the ray harry
07:13house and bubo from clash of the titans the defo style release of him is going to start to fly
07:17out
07:18january 2027 so you have a couple of months to start saving up plus two with the defo style he's
07:24more of the affordable price he sits a little over 75 now if you did want the more elaborate routes
07:29don't worry starry's got you covered as well they are also releasing a clash of the titans ray
07:33harry housing 100th anniversary bubo in a gold patina both in the normal edition and the wingspan
07:40wide edition as well those are going to be more closer well they're going to be over 300 one of
07:45them is around 309 i think there's also going to be doing releasing a 100th anniversary patina
07:51edition with the deluxe wings and that's going to be selling for 35.99 those are also going to be
07:56shipping out not yet though but closer in time if you're looking at the calendar they're actually
08:01going to start the ship november 2026 so again if you're a big fan of clash of the titans starry's
08:06has you covered i do like this one for for two things first of all i mean one thing is
08:11it just
08:11takes up a little less space on the shelf if you just don't have the space to accommodate the larger
08:15scale replicas this one's going to do a better job for that at least for the sizing and also too
08:20for the price of the budget if you don't have as much of a budget to work with the defo
08:24style at
08:24least releases of them they're a little squatter in size but at least they might still get you
08:28cover when it comes to a replica i do like this one has posability in the head also that the
08:33wings
08:33do fan out the wings don't as fan out as well as i would have hoped i think also too
08:38one thing that
08:39they probably could have incorporated is magnets on the bottoms of his talons just so that he could
08:43have securely attached to the display base because it does seem though the display base is made of
08:47metal metal i'm not sure though why they just didn't put magnets on the bottoms of his feet
08:51what do you guys though think of the defo style ray harry housing clash of the titans bubo
08:56is this one that you guys could see yourselves picking up speaking of which though i'd like to
08:59thank the folks over at star race that were kind enough to provide this sample if you guys were a
09:03big fan of clash of the titans let me know whether you prefer the 80s the original 80s classic film
09:08or you one that maybe prefers the remakes instead if in the meantime you guys also did like this video
