ArtTek Art of War AOW-01 Hero Rifle(s) Review

[brr-icy]

Just received both of the Hero Rifles in the mail, the front and the rear molded handles so I'll do a quick comparison between the two and you can decide which looks better, the plastic quality is very nice, i think it might be resin, but it is a very strong blend if so:

First off, the packaging:

simple bags with the cards stapled over top, reminiscent of the candy of old lol

With Classics Prime:

The original version:

Remold:

Powered Commander's fist can hold the remolded one quite securely as well:

Also the roller that came with the G3 Trailer makes the original molded gun look excellent:

With G1 Prime, they both work as well:

In conclusion:

I like both, but i'd have to give the edge to the remold, it sits more in hand than the original, and can be held by Powered Commander as well as the cab. and truthfully, mine are going to be displayed with the PC and roller set up
