I'll have a go, having picked this up last night
SUMMARY
Tiny but characterful. It wasn't on my list of figures to get, but I'm glad that I did. It's well made and fun.
PROS
- Loads of character in both modes (especially ape mode!).
- Abundant play features. I was going to say accessories, but really the only accessories are the swords. There are otherwise popout arm blasters and shoulder cannons. No jetpack though
- QC and plastic on mine are rock solid.
- Great poseability, in both modes.
CONS
- I swear that this is the size that deluxes used to be about 15 years ago. I know its gauche to complain about size, and yes I know its a price class not a size class, but this thing is really quite small. It makes up for it by feeling dense.
- The way that the robot legs collapse for ape mode and then sort of hide under a bum skirt isn't particularly satisfying.
- The way the chest transforms is kind of... iffy? It's not particularly satisfying, the shoulders don't lock (which on the one hand gives the butterfly-joint action, but on the other hand leaves them subject to the whims of friction), and the robot mode chest doesn't lock or sit flush with the collar.
DEPRESSING CONFESSION
- Im not one of those old skool TRUKK NOT MUNKY guys, but I've always found this design really boring. It's just an ape that stands up. Notwithstanding that, I'm glad I got this figure.
