Murk Upchuck (Omniverse Toy)

Murk Upchuck Omniverse Toy
Murk Upchuck is part of Bandai's 4 inch posable Ben 10: Omniverse figures. Murk Upchuck is part of a rare wave. He comes with a green translucent mini-figure that is compatible with the Omnitrix Shuffle. When inserted, the Omnitrix Shuffle will say Upchuck's name. 

This is the second Murk Upchuck toy to be produced, following Ben 10: Alien Force's posable Upchuck toy.

Omniverse Upchuck's arms and legs are able to rotate 360. Upchuck obviously doesn't have elbow, neck or knee rotations due to his short and pudgy stature. His tail is able to rotate. Upchuck's tail is a separate piece that needs to be plugged into the back of the toy.

Derrick J. Wyatt tried to get Bandai to change the Omniverse Upchuck toy from Murk to Perk, but the toy was already too far into production to do any revisions.

This Heatblast figure is part of wave 1 of the original Ben 10 4 inch collectible figure toyline. It was manufactured by Bandai. The original version of this figure came with two accessories; a holographic disk that shows Ben transforming into Heatblast and an animation disk that shows Heatblast's transformation sequence. This Heatblast figure has the standard nine points of articulation most humanoid Ben 10 figures have.
