The Unmask triumvirate triumphs yet again in this table design, prompted by the blockbuster film Kill Bill. The conicle eruptions forming its legs replicate the action of a penetrating projectile whinging through flesh with a satisfying shlooop! captured in such excruciating slow-motion as to enable one to feel the impact. And impact is what this triple-barrelled design and production outfit is all about, lock, stock and barrel. And they always hit their target with consummate marksmanship - as this latest effort abundantly attests - and the force of a Gatling bazooka.
Smithed from pure steel and rifled with chrome, this creation is loaded with whammo-ammo, locked and cocked. It zings like a missile and sings with the sizzle of the whirring bullet that wings. It hits you like an elephant gun, then goes ballistic on a trajectory beyond the Sun. The base is molten nickel extruded from a super planet's core, in a puddle that spreads to huddle on the floor. A shell bursts through its top, unable to stop. Each leg is a silver, spindly stalagtite in flight, that tumbles through the night of the void, wanting to rumble with a hurtling asteroid. Each seat is a rocket counting down to ignition, to blast you on its astral mission with or without your volition and never asking your permission.
This set triggers a thrill, but beware how you act, because it's licenced to kill. And brace for impact because it leaves an exit crater that is impossible to fill.
