I love your MOC—the colors and details have a really impressive retro feel, much like the TV show that inspired it.<br /><br /><br />While the rolling barrel feature of this set is delightfully novel (and as your review shows, surprisingly effective), this is one of a few Monkie Kid sets that I'm not getting. While it is the cheapest way to get Sandy, it doesn't really have any "exclusive" figs like Sandy's Speedboat with its creepy Spider Queen, nor does it really have the "wow factor" of the enormous Monkie Kid's Team Secret HQ.<br /><br />It might not interest MOCists necessarily, but from a technical perspective the Sandy figure is surprisingly complex, even for a bigfig. The only actual printed details are his eyes, eyebrows, and the stripes on his track pants—the other four main colors (Medium Azure, Magenta, Orange, and White) are all molded plastic! Compared to some other bigfigs from themes like Super Heroes that often share a lower body mold and rely more on printed detail to differentiate them, this results in the detail being exceptionally crisp. Sandy's feet are also in line with each other unlike many bigfigs that have a more dynamic "one foot forward" pose, which helps allow Sandy to more convincingly lie in his hammock in the HQ set or pilot his speedboat in a standing pose.Andrew Barnickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11723179808721244651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-57156942098048164462020-10-04T11:08:58.443+01:002020-10-04T11:08:58.443+01:00Fantastic model, that MOC.

Great use of long trans-medium-blue tube as water spray, and the red bars nicely frame the blacked windscreen.Eero https://www.blogger.com/profile/07001754583144127017noreply@blogger.com
