Just got him in (in the U.S.) direct from Japan, so I cracked him open with no hesitation and here he is!!! Cost me an arm and a leg, but WELL WORTH IT! Couldn't be happier about how he turned out. HENKEI REALLY DELIVERED THIS TIME!
Theres been so many issues with this mold, i was really worried that it would suffer from at least a few of the same problems like floppy wings, loose joints, bad paint apps, ect........ Also being that this mold consists of allot of clear plastic, i was really concerned about it possibly getting some nasty lookin stress cracks.... I tell you, i had my poop shoot all puckered up as i transformed him for the first time!!!
But WHAT A RELIEF!! THIS THING WAS AS TIGHT AS I HAVE EVER SEEN IN THIS MOLD! Even tighter than my Target exclusive SKYWARP! Tight wings, tight feet and hands, knees, hip joints, tight EVERYTHING. Even the "landing gear nipples" are a 100% rock solid!
Connecting the null ray cannons on his arms........ NICE AND SNUG!!
Those were a huge concern of mine because of THUNDERCRACKERS arm holes. That problem with THUNDERCRACKER was such a let down... Such an expensive toy should be double checked and addressed by the quality control team before ever releasing it. For that kinda price tag, they should have offered a recall on that... oh well... I fixed my THUNDERCRACKER by putting a couple coats of clear nail polish inside the arm hole.
So yeah, it would have killed me to find that my ghost SS had the same problem as the Henkei THUNDERCRACKERS..... but WHAT A RELIEF!!!
My Ghost SS turned out to be the best made character I have of this mold.
So here it is ladies and gents, my super tight "HENKEI GHOST OF STARSCREAM" Zero negatives to report about the one I got.
