Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker Square Enix Play Arts Kai Vol. 2 Action Figure Chrysalis

THE BASICSThe figure comes in a large box (over a foot wide) with instructions, stand, and a spare part for attaching the railgun to the Zeke.It's weaponry are two nose-mounted machineguns (Browning m2s?) four missile launchers, and of course the railgun.They Chrysalis can transform into battle mode by rotating the body downward while holding the head section, and then rotating the radome and the railgun, then by moving the propellers. In this form it's quite large, and cannot fit in the stand (it's for flight mode only).The detail on this figure is absolutely amazing--it's model kit quality. The paint is also superb, with what looks like an ink wash in the panel lines to give it age. My only gripes with the paint job are with the radome and railgun; the railgun is unpainted, hard plastic, and the radome is simply painted light gray (Zeke color) with no detailing done. If you aren't worried about ruining collector's value, you can always paint some details yourself.---SPECIAL FEATURESAs stated earlier, it transforms. But it also has a great level of customizability with other figures (nearly every piece can safely be removed).The radome and railgun come off and can be, of course, fitted onto the Zeke figure (which is now only on square-enixshop).What no one else seems to mention is the heads of each of these figures are also interchangeable with one another, depending on which head you use with which figure. The Chrysalis figure head, for instance, can swap onto the Peace Walker. Some of the weapons also fit on other figures, but this also depends on which weapon and which figure.---IN SHORTThis figure, with the other figures in this line, looks amazing, is fairly durable, and can even be used to customize other figures in the line. Square did a great job with these PVC mecha. If you are a collector of all things Metal Gear than these are for you. If you simply want a cool robot figure for your desk, these may bee too expensive for you. Either way, if you can afford them, you can't go wrong.
