>>6371252He's honestly not a bad figure. The plastic feels normal, I think people are just REALLY picky about red plastic for some reason. Every time a new figure is released in red, one of the first complaints is that "it feels cheap". It certainly doesn't feel cheap or brittle to me, but maybe I got different standards. My copy didn't have any mold flash on it. I totally had the super-holy-fucking-shit-what-the-fuck-is-going-on-here tight head connection though, but then again I had the same issue with Sentinel, Hardhead, and Astrotrain.
As for the scope size, I think it's fine. But then again I like bigass mounted shoulder cannons. It also moves out of the way so you can put the head into any direction, and Hardhead has the exact same issue of the cannon blocking head movement as well, and it's solved the same way: Move the cannon up or over a bit. He is a tad back heavy, but you can also flip out his tread sections to act as spurs if you really need to.
