I still do not like the fact that to make the most out of Mashin Chaser you need to get an accessory pack that ends up costing almost as much as he does. And I know, I know, Figuarts barely come with the basest most necessary accessories nowadays, and there's no use complaining about it. But I'm still going to. I mean, I wouldn't expect him to come with the wings and base perhaps, but everything else could have been included with the actual figure. It's just kinda...eh.

My complaining is mostly empty and more on principle rather than anything else, though, because I still don't actually like Mashin Chaser's design, or that of his weapons, so this was never something I was going to buy in any case.

Really though. His weapons remind me of exaggerated Bionicle weapons, or perhaps something from the Bay Tronsformers films. Not really to my liking. For what it is, however, it's pretty cool. Definitely can't knock the toy for being accurate, the sculpting and detail look spot-on. The effect part is a great addition, and the wings look better in plastic than they did in the show.
