Across all the reviews trashing this guy, the bit that really hit home for me was Gary saying that he knows there are always going to be issues with Super7 product and he gives them his money anyway. It's a fair assessment both of Super7 and of people like a lot of us who give them our money anyway.

I don't have mine yet (my enthusiasm for this line has waned to the point that I've waited over two and a half years for this guy, but haven't bothered to ship him from my Pile of Loot yet because I'm waiting on Elec Man and Cut Man to come in), so I can't speak to it directly, but I was certainly bummed by all the negative reviews. I will say the knees seem to be the main point of contention, and while they don't bother me personally, it is pretty inexcusable on a $55 figure.

Unrelated - I'm a massive fan of Alex Brewer, and it may just be how it's showing up in the videos, but his amazing sculpt really seems to have gotten lost in the flat paint (or it may just be bare plastic) on Guerilla Gorilla. And if he looks better in person, that's great, but the videos make it seem like they managed to lose most of the details in the body and face. (To be fair, I also thought trying to apply a "comic style Jim Lee" paint job to his Animated Series Rogue sculpt looked pretty bad, so even Mondo can ruin his stuff from time to time.)
