Guess what arrived today? My latest GodBeast order. And, I gotta say, these dudes are fucking sweet. I was initially just going to get an Ultra Corps silver Kabuto Mushi colorway, but as soon as I saw the other colorways, I knew I had to snag a metallic purple & pearlescent black one too. I wish I could have splurged and gotten a pearlescent blue one as well, but cash flow was an issue and it just didn't quite pop like the metallic purple. The joint articulation on the arms is a little unusual; two points at the shoulder and then there's one above & another below the elbow, but not at the elbow itself. It's not terrible or anything, but it takes a little playing around with to get the hang of things. One thing about the pearlescent black colorway, it's actually more of a dark charcoal. The pictures (and name) are a little deceiving, making it seem like it's midnight black, but as you can see below, the color is actually lighter:
I'd have preferred if it was pitch black, but it's not a deal breaker or anything. Speaking of colors, it turns out the metallic purple is fairly close to the purple M.U.S.C.L.E. figures. Not a 100% but close enough to make me want to buy some more off eBay.
Finally, here's the Ultra Corps silver Kabuto Mushi that I was originally there for...
Pretty rad, huh? The Mini Mushi's color seems a little lighter and less metallic then the Kabuto Mushi, but it's passable. All and all, they're a welcomed addition to the Ultra Corps horde.
