Grunt Bumper pack - WWRp
Pre-Order Date - 07/02/2013
Original Price - $180 (includes Stealth, Deep Powder, Sand Devil, DIY and 4 random unseen Squares)
I split this set with a friend so this review set will only contain the ‘Sand Devil’ Grunt and the ‘Family Album’ square.
The Good - This is another supremely detailed 1/12 piece. He is a few inches heftier than other WWRp human figures because off all the gear he’s wearing and it is awesome. You'd think that because of this his articulation would suffer, but it doesn't take that bad of hit! His arms and leg joints function fine under all that gear, better than expected I'd have to say. The F-album square is a welcome change to the Mk 1 square line. The design on it is fresh and pops despite its dull drab color scheme. The square has very personal feel to it, which is hard to understand if you haven't seen the Evol comic that came with the N.O.M. commander set. It’s Rothchild’s personal data cube and seems to have a bigger role than we know in the grand scheme of things.
The Bad - Even though all the gear presents a very awesome look it does hinder the movement of the head. This is due to the hose that goes to the pack on the right side.The second thing is the weathering on this figure. It’s up to 3a standards and that’s great, but for a figure coded ‘Sand Devil’ I’d like to see more location type weathering. None of it seems very desert or sand like.
The Ugly - Like I've said the all the ammo packs and pouches are cool, but because of the number many of them are oddly shaped and small. This leads to poor velcro adhesion and a lot of open pouches. The other thing is his left arm plate. The straps on it are extremely loose, so much so that if his arm is straight towards the floor it'll start sliding off. I’ve tried to tighten the straps to the point of a small tear in one with no luck.
