“Like the other ETX ships, it consists of a sleek cockpit with two arms at the front. It has most of the functions of the 2008 mini sets series. It can open via the cockpit, make the alien stand up, and both arms can fold in, forming a sneak stance, and placing the cannons on... More each other. This set was an impulse set.”
