Transformers Beast Wars Neo Deluxe Class Elphaorpha (Beast Wars Torca)

Elphaorpha

Beast Mode: Elphaorpha is the Takara version of Torca. He looks great in these colors. I love the tusks. If you aren’t familiar with Fuzors, they combine two animals into one beast mode, in Elphaorpha’s case and Orca and an elephant.

Robot Mode: In robot mode I love Elphaorpha’s head sculpt. His paint apps are concentrated on his chest and head, but they are well used.

Overall: This toy has exploded in price in the last few years. I greatly regret not buying it five years ago when it was in the $100-$125 range. I paid considerably more for this one. Torca was made almost completely of gold plastic and suffers from the scourge of GPS (Gold Plastic Syndrome) so a lot of people have been buying the Takara one in recent years. I might not have spent the money on this one if he wasn’t the last Beast Wars Neo toy I needed.

Thanks for reading!
