All in all, and my disdain (or lack of...feelings really at all...) it's a pretty good figure. The armor and cape work nicely, the head and hair braids are really well sculpted and the figure holds his weapons really well. Weapon storage would have been nice, but after the mess that was Angela, I'm glad they didn't include any.



About the only issue that I had with Shatterstar was that the figure looked like someone someone else had handled it with charcoal all over his fingers, as there was black smudging all over the white parts of his legs. Thankfully I was able to get the stains off with some soap and a toothbrush. The black could have been applied a little better on the legs as well, as there are cracks of white that peek through on certain spots in the grooves of the musculature, but other than that, a solid figure and a welcome surprise considering I had no interest in it initially.

In addition this was also the first chance that I got to take photos using the figure stands from NECA, and while they take some getting used to as they are larger and more bulky than obitsu stands, they actually work really well with Legends figures thanks to their sturdiness. I still recommend obitsu stands over these, but for those who do not wish to import, these are a half decent substitute.

I don't have any love for the character either, but I almost bought it too because the figure looks really good.
