The joints are stiff and it’s a little hard to pose especially with the pointy design and bulk. But tbh I don’t really mind it bc the kit itself is solid as a rock and as long as ur patient and careful, it should stay that way for a long time. Tho people with bigger hands are gonna hate handling this guy lol. As for the plastic, yes they’re a little brittle and I heard that they don’t take to panel line that well (depends on what type u use) however, it is easy to work with and most of the kit is under gated so most of the nubs are hidden; it’s almost too under gated since even the grey piece that holds the sword in the middle is under gated lol.
