SKE - Skeleton Lord VINTAGE Laser Light Loose Figure w/Mods Unfinished Kit Custom Repro

Content After quite a long wait (ordered on september 2nd, received the package the 4th of december (there was a bonus in the kit to soften the long wait)) I received the kit in a sturdy box. The content of the kit is exactly what is shown on the webpage neatly packaged in bags. A card with a link to a YouTube video is also included. In that video the YouTube channel Toy-Polloi shows how the kit can be built. This video is almost exactly as the kit I received except for the leg part, which was different. Quality The quality of the kit is good, but I must say that I've expected the plastic to be a bit harder. In my kit the body, right arm (the arm with the light feature) and head were quite soft. The right arm was at some points also really thin I could almost see through it. Build I was really hyped for the kit because LLS for me is one of the coolest figures of the original MOTU line. Painting, I used the same paint as described in the YouTube video and the result was pretty much the same no issue here. However during the putting it all together phase I ran in to some issues that took a bit of the pleasure away. - The new leg setup was not exactly clear to me, in the end I experimented a few days (without glue) till I had a good feeling to glue the pants. But when glueing one of the tiny studs didn't fit into the hole that is there to guide the two parts so that they allign. I ended up with pants glued crooked, maybe I should have done it differently but Ok.. - The arm with the light hand was so thin that when glueing it was very hard not to sqeech the arm flat I ended up with some edges not neatly lining up there, and for some reason the arm cannot be lifted. It is like there is a piece of plastic in the way if I would press I would split the body. - The body with the crooked leg part and the arm that was not what I hoped for had a bit the same issue, the plastic is soft so when you press to keep everything together the edges will deform a bit. I still have to get some purple yarn to finish the cape (the piece of cloth was included!) and then my LLS is finished. Overall feeling Before ordering this kit I made some 3d printed ones which (besides the print lines) looked pretty much the same but felt more sturdy and robust. The overall feeling of the build is a bit mweh, it was not cheap and I don't have the result I hoped for, 6 out of 10 for me.

If you have some basic model building skills, this kit is a great way to get an amazing figure that is not only hard to find, but usually out of the price range of most. I had a great time building it and learning about the internal mechanisms that make it work, and I ended up with a great piece in my collection I can be proud of.
