“Stormer Freeze machine is not my favorite set of the wave. His design is nice and the set itself isn't majorly flawed, but in comparison to the other figures of the wave, he just feels like he falls somewhat short. His overall design is a bit cluttered in some areas and very... More hollow in others, and is a difficult set overall to pose.”

“The mech story is a nice twist from the usual HF story, despite some building flaws. The features are neat and the build is sturdy.”
