Advent Calendar 08: Harambe did nothing wrong

Stock photo

 And his name is Guerilla Gorilla! What can I say about him it's an Ape that looks like John Cena. He's fucking Huge, and Heavy! He defends the rainforest from bad people. His story appearance had some meh art and he looked ridiculously dopey. He still does, but can be a bit badass! 
He makes Andre look like an Average Sized Man.


My plans to buy a spare for Harambo have been dashed. He's too damn heavy and I would have to cut off the vest for removal. Not to mention I'd  need to get some milliput to do the hair and Bandana and at $75 it's not feasable.
How High Can you Get?
I'm so High I can hear Heaven


Articulation 
He has basic articulation as a standard figure, despite his huge size. Due to the single jointed elbows and knees, his articulation is slightly limited and unable to do some gorilla poses. He can do the 4 legged gorilla stance though.
4.0
GG: Your Banana is tiny.
Nick: I have a banana. You have a plantain! Bananas are tasty. Plantains need to be fried to be good.
GG: Plantain Big!
Nick: You have a tiny dick. 
GG: Low Blow, Man...


Paint and sculpt
My single complaint is engineering issues. Some of his plastic is a bit too tough amd causes issues with swapping heads, or holding weapons. I predict paint chipping on the grips. The angry head required some hole shaving. He can't  properly grip hos weapons... Other than that, he's great.
4.5
Nick: Must not think of that song!
GG: My Coconut gun can shoot in spurts!
If I shoot your ass it's gonna hurt!
Nick: Really, Nefty? TWO DK References?


Accessories:
-7 plantains
-bandolier
-peeled plantain missile
-coconut missile
-bazooka
-knoife
-machinegun
-helmet
-glasses
-extra head
-extra Hands
-grenades
-dog tags

I already mentioned the engineering issues that ruin the usage of accessories. I hate that pretty much All his accessories are gonna end up in a plastic baggie.
5.0 but I will subtract 1.5 points for uselessness.

Overall
Guerilla Gorilla gets a 4.0 as his final score. Sadly, as fun as he is, Super7 is missing the point in ensuring the Accessories work with the figures.  It's pathetic that after all the delays in this wave, they manage to fuck up worse than Mattel did under  Neitlich. 
YOU CAN'T SEE ME!


Now I'm pissed that I had to give the Mighty Spector's creator a backhanded compliment.
