How we reviewed it
What owners say.
- 3 positive
Paraphrased from public owner reviews. Each one links to where it was posted.
A fun build, and the light-up feature was a nice surprise at this price.
Praises the pre-printed armor and the LED lighting, with no complaints.
An easy build, and the finished figure is very posable.
