......Ugh. That just looks unpleasant.

It's not too bad in person. The stock photos and the photo above don't really sell it well and I thought it looked good in person.

But for the price you're better off getting a couple of new deluxe toys instead so I sold mine on.

It looks great in person - but both of the ones ive got have very bad QC. On one of them the nose antenna has no grip and just flops about and on both the arms don't tab into the side of the legs when in starship mode.

It's a nice display piece though.

Yeh, it looks much better in the flesh. The colours are much less jarring.

Mine too had QC problems, same situation with the not locking on problem. Not so much with the nose atenna, but when I put Krunix into his fist, he really flops around all over the place.

Limp wristed Cyclonus...
