Recommendation: yes 10 / 10 by Ras_Al_Ghul

I think that for $20.00 this is a great set. It both looks good and works well. There is something to watch out for though: the soft axles on his feet, if left on display for a long time, won't be so soft anymore. The two on mine are permanently bent into that shape. But as long as you take them off periodically and straighten them out it shouldn't get too bad. The only thing this set left me wanting was an alternate model.
