Cool looking figure,

As I said to Michael, my local retailer has some of these, on a shelf next to Barbie! Go figure!

CHEERS!

Thanks for sharing this .... it always amazes me the beautiful weathering that 3A puts on their figs

[david_kay]

wow, that really looks amazing, and the weathering is superb. the revolver is massive!

the only thing l don't like about this robot is that hook on the left arm, the rest is beautiful

[hotmitts]

That's probably my favourite Ashley wood figure that Ive seen. Wish I could afford one! Think you chose the best paint scheme as well!

I chose to get the Dayone Popbot with General Showa instead of this one. It's so clean next in comparison (has his left hand instead of hook too), I think I prefer the dirty version...

Same for me. To get 2 hands & 2 guns, you need to buy either the way-too-clean version in the 2-pack of buy the Badbot version, which is actually black and has only one eye in the middle of the head.

I bought the one reviewed here and was blown away by the weathering and the articulations.

And considering it cost me around 100$ on ebay, I tought it was a pretty good deal...as most 3A figures are especially at retail price.

Only downside. The low production means very little chance to buy them at retail from the website.

Yeah, like I said in the review, he REALLY should have come with a two handed option. And if they had put just a little more thought into the gun detailing and articulation (think 'Samaritan' with both SS + HT Hell Boy figs) then this would have been pretty much faultless.
Though it almost is anyway!
