So I Thought I would go about doing a review for the Gak Vac, I know the 90's version had 3 little aliens, that most LRGers would love to have.  I saw on the box that the new version also had 3 "Gakoids" as well. I've been keeping my on it since.

 

 

 

After checking contents of the box...

... I take a look at the Gak.  I can tell it doesn't feel too good in the bag. After opening I can feel that it had the consistency of the white part a fried egg.

Not too impressed with Gak I remember the main reason I was interested in this thing. The Gakoids!

Yeah, those guys.

 

I was pleasantly surprised when I opened up the canopy holding them to see that they are not all the same colors.

I would have been fine if they were all the same purple as shown on the box. But I'm even happier to see that they went with different colors.

 

But now back to the vac, the instructions show you being able to suck up the gak with the gakoids.

So I try.

As you can see it doesn't turn out so good.

 

I thought the Gak itself might be the problem so I tried using a better ooze to see if I can get better results.

 

 

 

No dice.

 

I don't think I could fully recommend this product, as the product itself is crap.  The only thing going for it really are the gakoids which are pretty cool.  But not worth the price of entry this thing asks.

The only reason I got this thing because I was able to snag this for $9.00 shipped with two other items. 3.00 for each gakoid and "bonuses" is a lot more palatable.

 

And with that I leave you with this...

I love your defeated sigh at the end of the first video.

GG on the review also.
