I agree with another reviewer's summary of "you get what you pay for." In this case, you're not paying much, and you're not getting much.

The plastic feels *super* cheap - it flexes and creaks quite easily. The painting is terrible with oversprays, bubbles, drips, etc. This "prop" would best be tucked into a holster and never pulled out. From a functional standpoint, sure, it works. But if you want it to *look* good, plan on a couple hours and some good modeling paints.
