Its a bit dissapointing that the smokestacks are still that ugly gray-soft-weird-straw-like pipes.
I still prefer the Abs and the chrome on buster prime, I wished he had the same chrome pieces and more, that shield would look amazing with chrome.
Overall great figure...

Those are the figure's only real flaws, in my eyes.

If the product coming out of it is going to be like what's seen with APS-01U, it's not going to get better, only worse.
Shame, because it deserves better.

What are you talking about? Who says the mold is degrading?

Sloppy paint job, not movie accurate at all, some parts have missing paint applications .Simply said not worth it. Just as I predicted in the past. Giving something name "ultimate" doesn't mean ultimate!
Pics? Show don't tell.

I thought the point of putting everything in one set was so toy fans could save money

Wrong - it was so fans could spend money.
I predict this one will go on sale.
