Critique IMHO: in these photos and poses, the colors blur together. The
photos are dull; they need better lighting to look good (I assume that
dull-taupe bg is really white?) -- or a longer exposure from a stable vantage
(eg, tripod). (I happen to own an Olympus digicam with full manual
adjustments, but others may need to be more ingenious in their photo
studios.)
Hmm -- it’s not just the pose; the profusion of angles and disparate slope
bricks make it look unintegrated. It lacks unified contours. It can’t be
drawn with simple lines, and richochets off its armor would be murder. The
white hand-hinges on the arm-fingers draw too much attention to the knuckles.
(Brown or black would work better.) The splay of the hip missle racks make
it look bottom-heavy, with narrow shoulders. (The shoulderpads don’t count,
visually.) And the 1x2 grill tiles just add more visual noise.
It probably looks better in person.
As usual, black LEGO doesn’t photograph well. (What tricks did TLC use
with Blacktron?) But wow, it’s sure posable and easily balanced -- hand
stand, natch.

Hey, I know the mech and the pics suck. I am so glad you pointed that out. And
you were so descriptive too. By the way, the mech is orange and grey, not brown
and orange. Adjust your monitor and you may see that. Wonderful!!! Thanks for
the reply.
