No. 419: Floatzel

okay, so blogger changed its format for creating new posts. I know that doesn't affect any of you, but I am hell of disoriented over here.

Floatzel is a bigger, badder Buizel, but he isn't better. First, that bellybutton tear-drop-shaped spot is distracting, for me. Then, one has to wonder what the hell sort of flotation device he's using. It looks almost like a raft, except only the outer rim? Or is it a floppy inner tube, that he's got entwined with himself? In either case, it doesn't read as well as what Buizel had going on. And still, no water wings.

Also, his tails look pretty much the same, which is odd, since they were one of Buizel's defining traits, you'd think they would at least get bigger. Or maybe three of them, like tri-blade propeller?

And in general, Floatzel is trying to make "weasel in an inner tube" look badass, which is just the wrong way to go about it. Ain't nothing badass about a rodent that can't swim on its own.


Overall: 5/10
