BrickEconomy Expert Review
“The design is notably humanoid with a trans bright green color scheme that adds to its visual appeal. The use of stickers is extensive but not mandatory, enhancing the mech's detailed appearance without being overbearing. The model offers substantial articulation, although it lacks waist movement, and the inclusion of a thin dragon-like tail may seem out of place to some given its otherwise humanoid design.”
