Click on the thumbnail for another shot of MGM-01 MagneMicroman Achilles.
The Magneforce figures have been getting rave reviews from action figure fans but they’re not without minor problems.
The weakest aspect of Achilles is not, as you might expect, his heel but his weapons. The handheld weapons double as wings but they’re unsatisfactory in either mode.
In terms of QC, there’s one slight blemish on this otherwise fine figure. The metallic red paint on the crotch flaked off a little over 24 hours after I removed the figure from the package but aside from raising the question of why the crotch needed to be painted in the first place, it doesn’t bother me much.
