Paraphrased from public owner reviews. Each one links to where it was posted.
Their favorite of the High Guard kits, with posing range and detail they love. The eye light shows through the top of the head, which they see as minor.
Detailed and accurate to the movie, but four parts broke in the first ten days, including pegs on the back pieces and a side skirt prong.
Enjoyed the build, but the arms are loose at the shoulders and spin too freely.
