distinct while of course having one change into the other.  A question, however.
Is the transformation smooth, or does it fall apart like mine always do?

I wouldn't exactly call the transformation sequence "smooth", no.  Because the
shoulder joints are in essence a series of 1 stud connections, they have a habit
of separating if I'm not careful.  And the head, which is also a single stud
connection, likes to pop off too.  Otherwise, it seems to work fairly well.

This really is the perfect size to capture enough detail while still not going
overboard on size.  The new click hinges in the designer sets that are only a
plate thick instead of a brick thick are just wonderful for building on this
scale, as they don't take up nearly as much space.

I'm glad you enjoyed it
