The figure itself is well done and is not just a repaint, it is a total recast which was really the only way to go. The sculpt is crisp and what little paint apps there are, are well applied. The refreshed box design showcases the figure better than the previous look. Articulation is plentiful with standard and double hinged joints throughout allowing\u00a0for a wide range of relaxed and aggressive stances.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CONS:\u00a0<\/strong>Not the most accurate of representations of this armor as there are plenty of differences in the prototype costume\u00a0and weapons. No weathering on either weapon seems a bit cheap considering the deco that was saved on the figure. This figure is the epitome of scalper bait and having them set on shelf\u00a0and scooped up within minutes\/hours of being placed is sadly the norm in most stores.
