So, having messed with Victory Saber more, I find myself generally underwhelmed by the package in general.
The main problem is Star Saber himself. He's just.... boring? Like, I do not have fun messing with him at all. SS Crosshairs has stood beside him for a month, and has been far more fun to fiddle with, pose, and photograph. Star Saber... just doesn't do much in hand, isn't really fun to look at or play with.
Victory Leo is the star of the set, but despite how much i enjoy him, he cannot overcome the boring of Star Saber, and Victory Saber isn't doing much for me anymore now too, since it's mostly Star Saber and the main guy i like is just heels and wings.
I want to like this set more, but the spark has fizzled out. It's just a boring set.
I hate saying that, because I was excited for this. But, it's just not living up to the hype after the initial rush.
If anything, it makes me happier that I did not back Unicron; if I felt this way after spending over $600, I'd be super depressed.
It really hit home taking the below photo. Of these figures, Galaxy Shuttle is the far more fun figure; Star Saber and Minerva just feel equally mediocre.
I am hoping Deathsaurus returns the magic, he looks so damn cool.
Oh also, no idea what all the fuss is with the V-lock, mine goes right where it needs to easy peasy and stays there nicely.
