How we reviewed it
What owners say.
- 2 positive
- 1 mixed
Paraphrased from public owner reviews. Each one links to where it was posted.
The screen accuracy impressed this owner, along with the Entry Plug, the moving jaw, and the accessories, especially for the price.
Captures the show’s detail and looks good on a shelf. The owner was not impressed by the stand, but says the accessories make up for it.
A fun build, but pieces fall off easily, the small horn keeps coming loose, and an arm came off; the owner says it is not for rough handling.
