---
He’s so adorable, you just want to squeeze him and get electrocuted. Kinda like Pikachu. Here we have the fourth member of the Candroid Crew (leaving Tora as some sort of orphan not included in the official count) the Denki Unagi Candroid! That’s electric eel for all you unfamiliar with what denki and unagi mean. He’s certainly the cutest Candroid to date. He’s also the best in my humble opinion. How does he compare to the others? Or rather, how do the others compare to him?
Packaging is standard Candroid Series packaging, featuring a thin cardboard backing, with the can and medal securely attached via plastic to the front of it. I would like to take a moment to say that I love these packages. They’re easy to get into, and easy to put them back in, while still taking up a much smaller space then a full box would. Not to mention for those who keep packages, once you toss the plastic, you can easily tuck away the cardboard virtually anywhere.
Unagi himself makes for an odd can. It’s primarily silver, with his dark blue color being on the uppermost segment of the can, where his lightning bolt pattern, title, and scribbles are featured. The only reason this makes for an odd can is the way he’s segmented up, as well as the clear color of his head and tail segment make for an odd looking split in the cans, something Batta and Taka hide fairly well. Fortunately, once you split him apart, he looks absolutely fantastic. He adds electric yellow to his color scheme, and just reeks of awesome. To transform him, simply pop the top, bring his tail down, pull him apart, flip his head out, and situation the two can tabs to act like fins, and you’re set. Easily the coolest looking Candroid in my opinion.
His gimmick is a spark in his head. To my knowledge, this is done by the wheels turning a wheel in his head that strikes a tiny flint to create sparks. I learned that form Survivor folks. **** boy scouts I have reality TV. Anyway, this works moderately well. once you get him going, the sparks are pretty large, and in dark conditions, it’s a lot more noticeable. Under heavy light, some of the fainter sparks can get washed away, so it doesn’t look as impressive. While not the best gimmick, it’s a more entertaining gimmick then the other three have brought to the table, so I have to give props to the Unagi-san.
The Unagi Cell Medal is pretty rad. Sure, it’s a hunk of plastic with no die-cast awesome, but the Unagi design is fabulous. Not gay fabulous. But like, fucking awesome badass fabulous. Badassulous even. Yes. Anyway, it says “Unagi Gin!†when scanned. Surprise surprise! Anyway, the medal looks like a sea serpent. I find this cool. Go eat some seamen Unagi.
Overall, Unagi Candroid is, in my opinion, the awesomest Candroid yet. I’ve been sitting here wheeling him around like a 5-year old and giggling when his head lights up. I’m aware of how wrong that is. Screw you. If you get one Candroid, make it this one, at least right now. His brain shoots electricity, you can’t get more badass then that considering you transform form a liquid container. And he eats seamen. Peace.
