Well, Stridor arrived at Chez Sookcool this morning after paying his government ransom import duties. Despite all the moaning on the interwebs, the mailer box he came in was just fine, only dinged about as much as what I used to pull out of a larger shipping crate from MattyCollector sometimes. I reckon people should be complaining more about their parcel delivery services than Super7's mailing decision.
Stridor himself is pretty dang good. The helmets and front cannons are a tad soft and warped in the package, but some hot water soon got that fixed. A couple of my hip/shoulder joints seem a tad looser than the other two, but it's not a colossal biggie. I can't pose him "rearing up" even when he's riderless, but it's not like he was going in my display that way, anyway.
Now, if only the circuitry on the back of his seat were painted and he had his escutcheons, he would be just about perfect.
". . . cross me, and you'll soon discover that beneath this playful, boyish exterior beats the heart of a ruthless, sadistic maniac."
