Product Synopsis
Update: March 07, 2024
Sally, the patchwork doll that adores Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin
King, from "The Nightmare Before Christmas,"
finally joins the "Revoltech" action-figure
lineup from Kaiyodo! Her patchwork body and
lovely figure are carefully sculpted, and her
characteristic dress is also faithfully
reproduced; the hem of her skirt has a gimmick
that allows it to move backward and forward, so
it's easy to pose her in a graceful sitting
position.
Sally comes with a total of five interchangeable faces, with
interchangeable eyes! She also comes with plenty
of accessories from the film, such as Zero
(whose neck and ears move, and his mouth opens
and closes), a display base for the nameless
tombstone, and a flower. The tombstone features
storage for her accessories. You can also remove
her joints to reproduce the scene where her
limbs fall off! Order her for your own
collection today!

NCS Product Synopsis
Update: September 1, 2005
«©NCSX» In the year 2980, three things still haunt an alternate
universe version of Japan: heavy metal music, brightly colored robots, and
masses of slavering fans hungry for both vocations. Pokemon and Yu-gi-oh have
long faded from the landscape but foot-long robot wrestlers have taken over the
mindshare of the populace. Skilled operators control the miniature robots with
simple commands in one-on-one battle to throngs of cheering onlookers.
Holding true to formulaic plot arcs found in other stories,
Heavy Metal Thunder follows the trials of an underdog who grows into a world
beater but works through self doubt, trepidation, and internal conflict along
the way. Players step into the persona of Denki Akihabara (English Name: Wanna
Be) who is an aspiring robot wrestling handler. On his 14th birthday, Denki's
father gifts him with a top-notch robot. Along with the birthday present, poppy
extends an invite to a high-level tournament known as The Titan Battle. There's
a catch however - the loser of a Titan Battle loses his robot by way of blasting
and is subsequently hanged on route to his/her burial space on an island.
In Denki's first battle, he notches an impressive victory and
catches the attention of a trainer named Yamada who takes him under his wing. As
Denki's skills improve with each successive duel, he'll eventually face his own
trainer and other acquaintances in the arena.
Gameplay
Robots
may be tweaked to enhance performance on the battlefield and Denki will learn
new techniques on fighting and anticipating how opponents will strategize. The
action in Heavy Metal Thunder is played in flick motion where the player selects
a move for the robot to execute and then watches it play out on screen. A robot
may be guided to guard against attack, throw out a blow, or wrestle. Special
moves known as beats are also available to take down opponents in a
button-mashing blaze. A beat meter keeps track of a pool of beat power which
fills up as the robot performs various moves. Although the game uses robots as
onscreen champions, the controls may be likened to that of an axe wielding
musician who manipulates his instrument in a battle against another musician. To
complement the parallel, rapid button jamming (strumming) comes into play to
send the robot into a fighting frenzy.
Backstory
Heavy Metal Thunder refers a robot that dominates the
battles in the Titan Battle circuit. Unbeknownst to Denki at the outset of the
game, Heavy Metal Thunder is owned and operated by his father, a blonde and
corpulent top dog in robot wrestling. As the story moves along and new battles
are won, Denki's suspicions about his father are aroused and later confirmed.
The ultimate goal is to beat poppy at his own game but the journey will span 26
game years as Denki rises through the ranks to eventually face off against his
father in the ultimate death match.
The presentation of the game gives off a circus atmosphere
reminiscent of a North American wrestling drama with over the top characters, a
cheesy commentator named MC Ono and a Fruit Cup co-host, and other oddball
participants. Fruit Cup is literally a walking Fruit Cup. Denki's supporters
include classmates Yoko Meguro and Sermon, a mentor named Alice, a seductive
temptress known as Layla, and other cheeky individuals.
Music
Although Heavy Metal Thunder shares a title with an album
from Japanese metal group Sex Machineguns, the game shares little with the group
other than the music featured in the game. Other rockers who contributed tracks
include Marty Friedman - lead guitarist of Megadeth, who is currently touring
with Aikawa Nanase, Michael Schenker - Guitarist (Scorpions, UFO, MSG,
Contraband), Rolly, Garlic Boys, Marcy & Shara, Delta Throb, and many others.
