Hermey Hobbies Custom Lego Mech Hard Suit Kit

First I'd like to say that it feel great to finally see somebody else's cool Lego build and actually get to build and play around with the thing myself.The included instructions are easy to follow and the set itself is fun to build. The design includes some interesting ways of creating joint movement that I've not come across elsewhere. The Hard Suit stands just slightly shorter than the current Lego Exo Suit set but possesses a much wider range of motion:-The feet swivel and pivot (2)-The legs bend and swivel at the ankles, knees, and hips (3)-The shoulders rotate in the socket and also flex backwards, forwards, up, and down (5)-Arms bend at the elbow and can rotate and flew side to side at the shoulder (4)-Hands swivel at the wrists and have four swinging digits (10)There are also two swinging hinges that raise and lower the upper and lower cockpit parts into place and two side panels that fold inwards to hold a minifig. An interesting thing to note about the lower piece of the cockpit, when you fold it down the minifig rides along with it to end up standing on the flat edge; I thought that was a really neat extra.The only criticism I have for this set concerns the joints. When you first start moving the suit around the joints will be pretty stiff while the feet have the opposite issue: the way that the joint is designed, while interesting, makes them very easy to pop off. However, this only occurs during actual movement of the feet and they hold up the model just fine otherwise. The overall body design is also very good at holding most poses.Overall the Hard Suit is a fun build and just plain looks cool. If you're a Lego fan looking to expand your robot collection, don't hesitate to grab this set.

This is an amazingly awesome Lego elements kit. Probably the best custom kit I've bought. Its well designed and sturdy so the mech can be played with or just posed on a desk. This kit an accommodate one mini figure without a airtank or back accessory. If you love robots and Lego buy this kit! There's a red version that's the same build with some modifications. Buy it ASAP!

The designer gets 5 stars for some highly creative uses of common pieces to make fully articulated joints. For play, I'd give it 4 stars because the cockpit is fragile. The joints are surprisingly durable, though. It still looks very cool if you want to display it. There is a fun product insert that explains the history of the model. With the exception of the ankle peg, all the pieces are available on Lego pick a brick; so you can improvise on the design. I hope to see more from this designer.

arrived just in time...grandson VERY happy

This item came early and all part's wear there and is a cool build! If more come up and your a fan of lego's you should consider it!

This company went above and beyond to make me happy after I had some bad luck with the post office. Their communication with me was top notch and my son LOVES his new toy. I am very happy with this purchase. Thank you so much!

The box was sent which was not the original box from the OEM one; the black and white copy label was sticked on the generic box . It looks like the fate product .
