Atharix Inflation Time-Lapse

A time-lapse video of Atharix the inflatable dragon turtle, 4m (13'1") tall. This inflatable almost ended up being larger, but BeiLe had some issues with weight estimation this summer. The total inflation time from flat to tight was approximately 18 minutes using the DIDA-2 Metro Vacuum MagicAir Deluxe pump.
Alexia's 2009 Bowser minigame animation was the genesis of this. When I had an idea about how to make the shell look good without making the inflatable structure unnecessarily complex, I went to Alexia with my early sketches and asked him to do the design.
Structural concept by me
Design by DrgnAlexia
3D Modeling by AsG_Alligator
Manufactured by BeiLe
Available for purchase soon. I'll update the link. The sales agent says Atharix can be scaled down to 2.5m (8'3") tall.

It’s massive and I love it

so big, so nostalgic to the animation, is there even a possibility to have a laying version, so we can hop on to the belly? hmm but now that I think of it, the spike would be in way grrrr

[@KronoGarrett]

This is the only version you're going to get. I guess you could just half-inflate the body similar to how you'd safely ride a giant beachball so you're mostly sunk into it.

he chonk

[@YourLocalMarylandCatLover]

That looks huge. X3

[@normankevinelec2995]

It looks like king koopa

[@KronoGarrett]

The idea was to replicate that shape...

[@normankevinelec2995]

Where did you get that, and how much

[@venzybierxski7672]

Now that is a big inflatable what would be a good test would be to see if you could climb up the back of it and hold on to its back or sit on its back somehow rather on that spiked section. Even if you put the inflatable on its front pores you might be able to get on the back of it somehow rather, but either which way that's big😮

[@KronoGarrett]

Maybe if the body was half-inflated and I had the toy on its back... The standing toys are more of a display thing than a riding thing.

[@淫竜アルタイル-o9c]

I would like to see a deflation that is not a time lapse of this.

[@KronoGarrett]

I only do time-lapses, it feels like anything slower would be a waste of people's finite time.

@@KronoGarrett Ok... I am a little sad because I love the deflate process of inflatables.

So biiiiiig 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️

[@KronoGarrett]

If only the estimates had been accurate, I could have gone *bigger*

[@lucaswinquist5671]

Ever afraid some one comes by and pops it I was wondering out of curiosity

[@KronoGarrett]

I haven't had any negative interactions with passerby so far...anything *attended* seems to be relatively safe, even at G-Fest.
