In my younger years I much preferred Digimon na dits characters to Pokemon and as an adult it’s a real treat to have Tung Mung EX giving some of the Digimon from this the “big time” treatment. The first in the line is TungMung-01 Omega-X which is an homage to Omegamon (who also happens to be my favorite fusion in the show.) Check out the video review above as well as my written thoughts and gallery below and of course let me know what you think in the comments.

Presentation: It’s pretty straightforward in terms of boxing with a picture of its chest and “TUNGMUNG-01” plainly written on the front. The box itself id a nice, thick cardboard and the items are well packed into the plastic clamshells. It comes in two boxes with parts to “swap” onto the main body of the figure (which I’d assume is to avoid copyright issues.)

Build: Much like the Bandai Tamashii Metal Build products, Omega-X is a pieces that has a diecast frame with plastic pieces on the outside (a shell, basically.) The joints are nice and tight and the plastics used are strong. My only gripe is that the finish on the paint in a lot of places is a very rough, matted finish and although I prefer matte to gloss, it comes off almost “chalky” and seems like it’d be prone to chipping/scratching.

Accessories: Omega-X comes with a stand, a wired cape, and the weaponry for the War-Greymon and Metal Garuramon (the blade and blaster respectively.) The weapons are fantastic but the only thing I wish is that the retracted blaster had some sort of easy way to pull it out. It fits in so deep that it’s really hard to get inside and grab it to pull out because of how tight it pegs as well as how far Garuramon’s mouth opens. It’s so bad that I’ve stopped using it at all even though it’s much more aesthetically pleasing to have in there.

Articulation: From double-jointed limbs to TRIPLE ab crunch, Omega-X is an articulation lover’s DREAM. The only problem that I really have is the fact that some of the joints are really tight and it makes turning them a bit scary at times. Overall though I’d rather have tight joints (they’re not tight to the point where you feel you’re going to break something) than loose.

Overall Score: 8.0/10 – Tung Mung really knocked it out with Omega-X and did Digimon a justice it’s never been done before in terms of overall quality. Having a larger, diecast rendition of Omegaman with such a strong design is a dream come true and the quality is good. Overall this is a definite recommend for both Digimon fans and people who just plain like a quality collectible. Really looking forward to more in this line.
