Quick answer
The GWAR Spew Tank is a collectible set that includes Oderus Urungus's head, torso, and Cuttlefish of Cthulhu submerged in translucent red blood slime. It completes the 5-inch action figure wave but comes with practical trade-offs.
What's inside and why it matters
The Spew Tank is essentially a plastic jar (screw-top lid) filled with translucent red slime. Inside, you find the key BAF (Build-A-Figure) parts: Oderus Urungus's head, torso, and his legendary Cuttlefish of Cthulhu. These assemble with the limbs from the rest of the GWAR 5-inch action figure wave.
For collectors, this means you need the other figures in the wave to complete Oderus. The Spew Tank alone gives you the central pieces, but not the arms and legs.
Realistic expectations for the slime
The blood slime is a thick, translucent red gel. It's not a liquid you can pour out; it stays inside the jar. This makes for a unique display piece, but it also means you cannot easily extract the parts without getting messy.
If you plan to build and pose the full Oderus figure, you'll need to remove the parts from the slime. This can be done, but it requires patience and cleanup. The slime is not reusable once removed.
Decision rules for the GWAR Spew Tank
- Completion requirement: You need the other 5-inch GWAR action figures from the same wave to obtain Oderus's limbs. The Spew Tank only provides the head, torso, and Cuttlefish.
- Display vs. assembly: If you want a jar of slime with visible parts, keep it sealed. If you want a fully posable Oderus figure, commit to removing the parts from the slime (messy, one-time process).
- Slime handling: The slime is translucent red and thick. It will stain surfaces and fabrics. Work over a protected area if you extract the parts. The slime cannot be returned to the jar cleanly. Plan your workspace before opening.
