You know those totally random purchases when you get something just because it is both A) On sale and B) cool looking? This is one such purchase! This model kit was featured on Hobbylink Japan on a pretty steep sale, and just looked cool, so I went in to see what it was like. I wasn't disappointed! It was a lot of fun to build, and you get a lot of choices. They come in pretty short at only a couple of inches though, so may not necessarily jive with all your other figures.
One of the first is deciding to build an aquatic body grave frog or a terrestrial one. I went for the aquatic body with the toad face and cigar cause it looks like it has a lot of class! You can switch the weapons to make them side-mounted onto the suit or held in the hands (albeit a bit loosely). You can equip a backpack, computer and walkie-talkie if you want as well. The aquatic look has a clear helmet to put around. The joints are pretty great, all extended ball joints that hold together well and allow for tons of flexibility.
I looked up Fifty-Seven and their lines and while I found some cool Shark-type ones with a similar body, I didn't really figure out what the story is behind the creature aside from them being a model kit with a cool look. I'm happy with that, but was just curious!
