Toys like this and other mechs are great for creativity. Like when you are trying to come up with a joint for the horses mechanical leg it gives you something to look at and work with. It is always great having both picture and model references around. At leaste that is the way I feel. I am taking a photoshop course right now so it may find its way into a composited work.

I just recieved the APU and it is as detailed, if not more, as it is in the picture. Even though the arm was broken and I have to return it for replacement. I have no idea how they could sell this thing so in-expensive. It is awsome and recomend it to any collector. It looks like the arm was broken when it was secured in the package. It does look a bit fragile and is a collectors item, not a toy at all. The legs are limited in movement.

HUMPH... the only difference between a man and a boy is the price of the toy.

Ooooh! I WANT! I WANT! Looks like I got to put in an order for that and the Squiddy. user added image

BTW: I got those Neo sunglasses, and I only paid $10! The only bad thing about them is, the lenses are concave and cause a bit of "bug-eye" when looking thru them. Made me nautious when I first wore them. Takes a bit of getting used to. user added image

The twins glasses are nice too.
