Toys and Games Reviews of Gears of War Amazon.com U.S. Exclusive Locust Drone action figure
Customer Review: Looks Great, Cheap Materials
Summary: 3 Stars
Who-wouldn't want a 'splodey-head drone?... Especially when it comes with an interchangeable head and "real-metal" COG Tags.
The toy itself looks great. The detailing is ALMOST as good as a MacFarlane Toys action figure.... almost. However, NECA continues with it's tradition of using what could be considered sub-standard materials to make this toy.
When my action figures arrived, I promptly took one of them out of the box CAREFULLY. Much to my chagrin I found my efforts were in vain, as even though I exercised the utmost caution in removing my action figure, in the plastic packaging were little bits of shiny red plastic. Further investigation revealed these to be pieces of the blood-splatter that used to be the drone's head. Gingerly carried-out inspection revealed that these were indeed broken pieces and not just random shavings/scraps of plastic. I was disappointed.
The COG tags that come with the figure are, themselves, actually pretty sturdy. However, the chain they come with, and the link-rings they used to attach the tags to said chain are sub-standard. I had to work carefully for about 20 minutes with a pair of pliers to fully close the rings so the tags were in no danger of falling from the chain. Be advised that the linking rings are VERY flimsy and cannot take much stress abuse. IF you choose to wear your COG tag necklace that comes with the figure do so carefully!
Other little things that are nice are the removable Boltok pistol he has in his hip holster. Although, be advised, no matter how loose and wiggly the extra clip that is also contained in the holster appears, it DOES NOT remove. It wiggles like it should but DO NOT attempt to remove it. It will break in your hands. Trust me.
As stated before, the toy LOOKS great. It's a wonderful shelf, mantel or coffee table piece. Do, however, be wary of its flimsy construction. The durability of a MacFarlane toy this DOES NOT have, though it comes close to looking as good as one.
