Comment
This is one huge figure, which towering at about
35cm, simply dwarf any other model and MSIA
collection I have so far. I got this in Low Yat
Plaza at a price of MYR130 (USD34), whereas the MG
Sazabi is selling at a whooping MYR250+ (USD65). I
just couldn't resist its low price, huge size,
excellent paint job and good details. In my opinion,
this MSIA is a good substitute for the more
expensive MG version where, with minimal time and
effort, I could put this impressive big guy to my
display shelf.
A very good king-size action figure for display
where the details is almost as good as the MG model.
The size and the excessive armor make this figure
not suitable for playing.

Construction Note
The individual parts is a no brainer here where
it could just snap onto the figure. Beam rifle is
easy to do. Just cut and snap together. Beam
tomahawk and sabers is not too hard. Just have to be
careful not to stress the plastic.
Fin funnel is the hard thing here especially when
working with the internal piece. It is make of some
rubbery plastic that could not be sanded. Molding is
bad since the sprue is located in a deep recesses in
between the thruster units. Cutting is extremely
hard here as the space is too small for a clean cut.
