I recently purchased an Estrela Falcon retro muscle-body figure with turbo-copter. Sadly, it is disappointing:
* The figure seems fragile, and prone to the same problems as vintage muscle-bodies. If not joint disintegration, at least the melting common to the contact of vinyl and styrene. Nice head paint and flocking, though.
*The copter is poorly-assembled, with sloppy construction gluing the control-arms in place. The mechanism worked well.
The Hobbycrash Geyperman reissues seem much sturdier. It's a shame, I really wanted that yellow copter for a custom.
