I think it looks cheap.
I would've like it more with some spray, or anything to make it look more "finished," and less just spare parts from a bag temproarily slapped together.

Personally thats why I like it so much. In the halloween month I think this is SB's own "Frankenstein" so to speak. Using mixed parts, and parts from other figures is well in line for a Frankenstein theme even if it isnt called that. Just my thoughts.

I just wish the eye and mouth on the Madball was painted since the eyes on the Mantis are. That's the only thing throwing me off. Otherwise I think it's gaudy, ugly, punk and hell and really fun.

The madball head is going to have a orange paint on it. I think this is a test piece. Forgot to mention that. Also this looks so sick in person, not cheap looking at all.

I think I'll dig him either way, could want one more than the other but I'll cross that bridge when it comes.

Any word on a relase date for this one?

I was kind of hoping this might be a secret Halloween release.

It was a FC order, but I'm sure it will turn up at a shop or two in the US.
Not sure when he will be arriving.
