The driver is really detailed but I missed the green for the Cyclone memory so I painted it and painted in the little "C" and "J" in the windows. The posability is above average though the joints are annoying. Every joint is tight except for his inner shoulders/torso arm joints. They're so loose it makes posing a task. Hopefully they don't get any looser and the rest of the body limbers up so they're not so contrasted. On the subject of quality control he has a single paint drop on his neck and weird scuff marks on his left shoulder. Also there's mould flash on his crest.

I was also pleased to see the eyes are not as tiny in person as they seem in pics, though they might be a smidge undersized. Not a problem, though. Sadly what is a problem is the forehead crest. It's not the size, although it might be a bit big that can be overlooked in head-on views. What can't be overlooked is how it sits on his heaad. Double's head crest angles back on the actual suit. Here, though, it's straight up. When viewed from the side it's completely vertical, and that bugs me to no end. Is there any way to get it off so I could try reshaping the contact point and gluing it back on an angle like it should be?

A great figure but I think it'll stay my only Figuart. There's nothing here that has me wanting to jump down the rabbit hole.

Trust me when I say that W is not a shining example of the line. The more recent releases like Ryuki, Den-O Sword Form, Red Hawk etc give you a way better impression. For me at least the W releases were all pretty underwhelming.
