The piece arrived today!
The kit is comprised of 11 pieces, including display plinth and an optional head(!). Casting-wise, I would give it a solid 8/10. Unfortunately, there are two
minor air holes on the right katana blade; any number of sizeable air voids in the feet; and the same (right) blade, as well
as the right scab- bard on the back mount, were "bent". Nothing out of the
ordinary in this scale and this medium, mind you, but one expects more from pieces like this.
Packaging was secure and stylish. . . exceptional! There was no boxart provided, about which I am uncharacteristically torn.
So that's about it! A great kit, beautifully designed, but let down by sub-standard QC and--pos- sibly--haste.
