Mifune's Last Stand

OMFG! i just picked this up yesterday... it's huge!!

Massive deluxe set stands 12" tall. Between the APU and human driver, this set has more than 40 points of articulation - including several ball, gear-driven and pneumatic-style joints - and is incredibly poseable. Includes complete APU and human driver. The level of detail is astonishing with a nest of hydraulic lines, belt-fed arm cannons and driver cockpit with arm and leg controls, plus moving control panel. This boxed set re-creates Mifune's Last Stand from The Matrix Revolutions

I know right? Seems kinda pointless to have all that brawn when the driver can be sniped...or burned...or catch shrapnel...

Some answers:

whered you get it? Gamestop

how much was it? sticker price is $24.99

is the APU made out of metal or plastic? dunno.. haven't opened it

Why is it named after the deli owner in the simpsons? APU = ARMORED PERSONNEL UNIT





From the official site APU

Heres a site i found that has it for ordering and you can add 'bullet dodge neo' for $1 more

About no "armor' protecting the driver...:
Actually it does... in THIS picture you can see an armored cover where the driver would be... filming purposes probably has it removed.
