>>6896954>>6896937The thinnest area of plastic are the shoulder guards. The plastic itself just feels different than your standard GT chunky monkey. I think it was a different plastic choice because the sculpting is so sharp in comparison to other GT offerings. It's definitely lighter, which helps with joint tolerances. The diecast in the feet helps weigh him down to compensate.
I've felt that most GT releases feel somewhat sloppy. Either an element was overlooked, something doesn't really secure at a design level, various tolerances, stress marks, etc. This is the first release that I have from them with none of that. I'm suitably impressed. One touch I appreciate is that the diecast feet have a rubbery non slip piece screwed into the bottom that makes up the portion that contacts with the ground. Less chipping, and great stability. I don't care for the limited rocker range on the ankles though.
