Finished the Monkeyfucker mech and I have mixed feelings about it.
>mech isn't actually as big as you'd expect for the price and as a whole it's comparable to Kai's Fire Mech in height plus the head and there's nothing really special about it in terms of building techniques - take the sidebuilds away and this would be an 80-90 Dollar/Euro set
>the build for the head is pretty damn fantastic and intricate but it's too bad that the nose isn't printed - take the horns away and it kinda looks like a Gundam, though, without the nose
>as expected, shit leg articulation - what you see on the box is what you get and while you CAN detach the large knee balljoint the range of motion and stability of the two small ones on the back aren't worth it
>arms are also always at an outward angle due to the shoulder joint design and I took out one 1x2 plate with a bar on each of them (now located on the feet) to give them slightly more articulation
>oh god, those skeleton arms holding the golden armor plates... I can already see me buying replacement parts for those pieces of shit - same for the cockpit hatch that is only connected to two clip pieces in dark brown
>the shiny plastic flags and skirt pieces look pretty cheap, like one of those crappy handheld pinwheel things you can buy at the carnival. They're also not printed on the back and are just plain gold
>in fact, the whole thing looks kinda messy and tacky in terms of colors and distribution and that's already WITHOUT the stickers
>all the sidebuilds are freaking great but definitely should've been their own little sets instead - without having seen the show, they contribute absolutely nothing to the mech and would've worked fantastic on their own with the bull mech plus house being a 25 bucks model and the cloud and scenery going for a tenner
Also, maybe I'm imagining things but the parts felt extremely stiff and as if they had WAY too much clutch power and poor tolerances, especially those small 1x2 arches.
