I received the Hopper Bros. two-pack last week and had a chance to open them up this weekend.



They're...ok. Nothing wrong whatsoever, but not as fulfilling as other releases due the relative lack of accessories. I was kind of expecting it (the Figuarts releases of these two didn't come with much either, right?), but it still was a bit disappointing. The Hopper Bros. themselves are pretty, certainly.

Also, no stands were included. The SIC stands (well, the ones that came with Tajadol and Putotyra combos) weren't that great to begin with, but considering the effects part for each works best when posed mid-air (especially Punch Hopper), I was curious if a stand would be included. No dice.

(Like Kabuto and some other SICs, you can more overtly feel the die-cast included with these two [thanks to the die-cast leg pieces] much more than you can with the OOO figures.)

I also received Shauta Combo this morning and will post more pics of that later.
