I was in TRU the other day looking to see if they got Silverstreak in yet. Disappointed that they had not, I proceeded to look about their stock to see if there was anything else worth getting. The package caught my eye because the figure had a striking ressemblance to a Terran Ghost from the PC game Starcraft. There were others such as a robot, a skeleton, a werewolf-like thing, a fire entity, a ninja, and a large insect. I recalled a commercial for these figures I saw in which they looked to be engineered very similarly to Stikfas. Upon closer inspection I found that these aren't just similar to Stikfas; they are Stikfas. While there is no Stikfas name on them, the copyright/patent info says Stikfas. The Stikfas name sealed the deal. I got it home and assembled it to find that the base structure is almost identical to the G1 Stikfas body. Edit: Oops, I just noticed a big Stikfas logo on the package. Leave it to me to find the name in the fine print and not notice the big logo! Size: At just over 5.5 inches tall, this is significantly larger than Stikfas. Sculpt: Unlike Stikfas this actually has a sculpt. The feet have tread, there is more body definition and there is armor sculpted into the lower arm. The rest of the armor is detachable pieces. There are 3 heads; A sniper scope, a plain head, and a small baby head (idk). I only use the sniper head because the whole reason I bought it was cause it looked like the Ghost. The chest armor has an odd shape; from the side, it looks like it is peeling itself off the guy's chest. Anything besides a profile view looks fine though. Paint: An overall excellent paint job. No overspray, no chipping, the paint finish matches the plastic well. A few areas were the paint isn't exactly on the line but unless your are scrutinizing the figure, is is not even noticable. Accessories: It comes with less accessories than a Stikfa but still a good amount. 3 Heads, Backpack armor, Chest armor, Shoulder armor, Knee armor, Pulse rifle (big sniper rifle), Machine gun, Pistol, Bayonette/Knife, Brass knuckles, Faxible arm to connect the pulse rifle to the backpack. Poseability: The poseability is better than the G1 Stikfas on account of an improved foot joint that allows much easier wide stance poses. The joint is at an angle and on a longer post so the leg doesn't interfere when flexing the foot inward. The joint does look a bit odd but it's worth it. The rest of the body poses exactly the same except that when the shoulder armor and backpack are on it limits the shoulders a little bit. Joints: All the joints are very tight, they stay where you put 'em. Value: Retailing for a dollar cheaper than a Stikfa, these are an excellent value. Downsides: The stickers that it comes with are a very high gloss and dont go well with the plastic/paint. For certain poses, the connector arm for the pulse rifle/backpack can just get in the way and pop out; I don't use the arm unless i want a pose with the rifle being stored on the back. I wouldve liked if the arms were a tad longer or if the chest armor was closer to the torso because it can interfere with holding the weapons two-handed. However, if you just manipulate the arms the right way you can still work out almost any pose you can think of. Overall: 8.75 It wouldve been a 9 if the chest plate had a better sculpt and the connector arm was somehow designed better but I can't think of any way it could be without making it unable to hold up the gun. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves Stikfas or superposeable toys in general. I'm planning to pick up another one in the next few days. And now the pics:

i dont think there is a good or bad, they are just things we made up, ppl say its good to save endangered tigers but if they had to be mauled and eaten to save the tiger theyd say it was bad, its all just morals that ppl made up, if there was good and bad then basicly every animal wud be evil cuz they constantly kills plants or other animals

MSiA review: Aile Strike Gundam & Skygrasper
NERV replied to Ikari Ranma's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
i saw it in the store, it looked a little small for the price, the gundam itself is rather anorexic and i didnt see many accesories, didnt seem to justify the bigass box and the price that comes with it -
