How we reviewed it
What owners say.
- 1 positive
- 2 mixed
Paraphrased from public owner reviews. Each one links to where it was posted.
Nearly every armor plate shifts when the limbs move, and it is more flexible than expected. The fin funnels are a bit floppy on the back, and this owner wishes it came with water-slide decals.
The knee pistons gave this owner trouble; bending the legs slowly, one section at a time, solved it.
Comes with a beam rifle, hyper bazooka, missile shield, two beam sabers, six fin funnels and spare hands, and the colors match the anime without paint.
