I made good of my promise in the first reply to this thread today and bought it. It was probably too expensive for what it is, but I thought what the hell, and I have to say I'm pretty happy with it. It's an impressively large toy with a good deal of interactivity. Despite clearly being marketed to kids he looks good on my shelf and is fun. My girlfriend found it disappointing that such a large toy is a one-step changer, but that's really the only criticism, and since that's half the point, it's not valid. I currently have him posed with OSC Grimlock riding him, because it amuses me.
