Got this cute couple today.
Elita's waist/ab joint is a bit loose and one slot in her gun has some extra mould flash that needs cleaning up to peg her foot all the way in, but otherwise, she's absolutely fine. I love Pink Assassin but I think Alleria might be even better colour-wise.
I also love Optimus, though he has a few more issues, but most of them aren't a big deal:
- Some very tight joints and tolerances, especially a lot of the pegs on some guns and the shoulder pieces.
- Left hip is squeaky but that's fixable.
- Head is super-fiddly to transform but I'll probably get used to it over time.
- His shoulders untabbing all the time is probably the worst part. I really wish they had put little latches there to lock them together.
- Combined with the fact that the God Ginrai waist skirt doesn't move seems like two oversights on an otherwise fantastic little figure who has a ton of moving parts, but these last two things are especially glaring when you realise just how many other tiny little things move on him (such as the sliding kneepads, the amount of joints in the torso, the amount of hinges and such in the backpack, etc).
But despite the last two things being my biggest gripes, I still love him, and for the price I got him at, he is absolutely worth it (I think it was about $60 or $70 shipped on eBay).
