The first bootleg Figurise model kit, and it's Yugioh! I had my eyes on this one since it was announced but couldn't secure one when it was released. Not because it was hot but more like the stock was limited and the price was... high. The more they release other monsters from the series, the higher the price goes. When I saw Obelisk at $80, that's the end of my interest... Until this one! And what makes it better is the coating! If you are buying the normal version, you would get two additional heads and the shoulder pads to plug them in. Which sounds great in theory but in my opinion, it doesn't look... natural. Anyway, this one is a solid buy for its $15 pricing (shipped directly from Taobao). The snapfit has no problems EXCEPT the wings joint where you connect to the body. They are EXTREMELY weak. You may want to fix the hole a bit to ease the pressure before connecting them. I broke mine, on the right wing, and had to glue it. I'm now hoping for more Yugioh! monsters to be released with special coating. They look good and they are fun to build. Including the most important thing: affordability.
