Speak not at all (because you're plastic, dude) and carry a big stick (big relative to your total size, because a couple inches of molded polymer isn't really that impressive compared to, say, a rhino).

He also needs that Shaq Steel Hammer Gun which is greater power than even:

Why does that RAcast have a light saber?

Hell yeah, Rick Dias is a personal fave. I have two scratchbuilds in progess [Rick Dias Stutzer and Schuzrum Dias] which I have neglected as I need a new airbrush.

...vanilla Rick Dias is ready to mangle, though.

Yeah, it's just red. My Xbox 360 isn't in the photos because it doesn't like people taking pictures of it. It always covers it's face with it's hands when people do.

Silly Xbox 360. You look just fine!

Well, 360s tend to be very superstitious. It's probably worried that the camera will steal its soul or something.

Indigenous Xbox 360s belong to a notoriously xenophobic society, so naturally they are wary of Outriders, I mean outsiders.

Been a while since I've put one of these together, here's hoping I don't break any pieces.

As cool as it is, I wouldn't recommend getting one, thing was an unholy nightmare to assemble (some of the pieces were smaller than the light that tells you that num lock is on), and then her thumbs won't stay on, so she can't hold her sword. Aside from that it's really cool, I think I just got unlucky or suck at this.

Took me like 6 hours to put it together.

Megaman X model lamed out on me - that's why he's not in TvC/MVC3, gamer kids.

Was it worth the price of admission?

Shall you stay away from this brand in the future, or figure it was just her being difficult due to size/too many parts, maybe the bigger Virtua-On's could be easier to handle?

This figure was definitely tuned for the advanced user, it's very nice, but very difficult to assemble, the level of detail is pretty impressive, even though I raged at the fact that the hands were composed of 4 individual pieces. It was kind of expensive (nearly $50 after shipping), but I'd say it's worth it if you're a fan and have experience with building these. I was raging pretty hard, my last brush with model kits was the easy gundam ones I don't remember how many years ago.

I also ordered one of GuaraYakha, it's a different make, so I'll let you know how that goes.

Back in high school when I was really into Gundam Wing, I was all about the 4-inch plastic model kits. I remember browsing random small-scale import stores online and ordering a few here or there. For all the time I spent fantasizing about them, I only wound up getting three or four of them. They're really neat, but they can be really annoying to assemble and wind up being fragile.

It was a little while later that I realized the Gundam Wing action figures were about the same scale, quite detailed, cheaper, and obviously they were already assembled. I transferred over to those and never looked back. My time with the models suffered too much from diminishing returns, so the figures were a suitable replacement.

I did wind up buying a couple Mega Man X model kits years later, but they were only $3 on clearance somewhere, so I wasn't so disappointed when they turned out to be as fragile as the Gundam models I had.

I was never big into gundam, but I'd get the kits as gifts sometimes for birthdays and whatnot since I've always liked me some robots, so they would buy me those.

I liked swapping their body parts around, unfortunately a lot of parts didn't interchange that well.
