Josh and I just had to marvel at the beauty of this thing in person. Josh immediately noticed that the right arm was falling off at the slightest breeze (oh, and there was plenty more than "slight" breeze that afternoon!). Fortunately, he just as quickly realized that the magnet for the upper arm had simply broken off and was sticking to the magnet in the forearm.

Next, he handed it over to me to check out the weight and dig the crazy detents in the joints. I did so and was more than impressed with both. ...And that's where things went horribly wrong. I wanted to check out the Rust Hurricane or Tornado or whatever they're calling it these days. Now, to expose the...outlet...ya just have to push the (lower) jaw downwards. That's it.

So why in the hell did they bother articulating the upper jaw!?

In the cold of this particular afternoon in Boston, again, my fingers were kinda numb...so I simply tried to wedge the mouth open--gently--by working my fingernail between the upper and lower "teeth". Boy, were we surprised when the crown atop the head popped off from the pressure of the upper jaw pushing on it! Eh well. Live and learn...and get some super glue! ;)

Hey, at least I warned Josh about the lower leg paint chipping problem with the knees--I read earlier that day on TBDX about this problem and immediately noticed that you can protect the paint by forcing the upper knee joint to bend, despite its stronger detents.

TimF, don't worry: we'll be covering Great Mazinger, too...but that comes out next month!
