This is a very straight forward set, so this will be a straight forward review. Like all of the Pokémon sets I've gotten so far, Blastoise works much better as a display model than as a toy. The molding is really great, every piece being excelently used to achieve the vey characteristic shapes of the original model. The building techniques are very intersting, resulting in a very entertaining build. However, the figure is sorely lacking in articulation, even more than Charizard was and, besides shooting his water cannons, there is not much that can be done with the figure play-wise. So yeah, not so much of a toy, but a rather excelent buildabele display model.
