>>10572013>>10574890Got my Downspiral!
It's way bigger than I expected. It's just so long. Dark metallic and clear plastics combined with some shiny gold paint give it a premium feel. It's just so elegant, it feels like it could be a weird dagger from Dishonored or something.
Transformation is pretty simple and fun. The arms have excellent mobility, and give the toy a lot of personality. They can really move around in unexpected directions. The first two joints on each tendril are nice and tight, but the smallest one is a bit loose on all the legs. Bit of a bummer, but you can still pose and balance it pretty easily. The body has several "break points" where it can move for transformation purposes, but you can use these to bend it into other shapes if you want to pretend it's a spaceship or something. It DOES kind of look like a Reaper.
The drill feels weighted on one side, so it swings pendulously and you can feel the centrifugal force generated. It feels like one of those toys that should have a push button mechanism to spin it, but I couldn't find one. Still fun to spin manually. I did not get the bonus stand, so can't really speak on that.
Overall, a fantastic release. I am very pleased, and think it may be one of the most beautiful BBs in my entire collection.
