Description >>
>> 7.5"tall and he has a wingspan of approx 22" .  

Every so often i get a figure where im left saying “how am I going to photograph this?”(but actually im just no good at taking picture, really).  sure, the word part of the review is easy, but the pictures?   this Rathalos (from 2009, i suppose) is a magnificent figure,  i DONT know whether it was meant to be  “in scale” with S.H.MonterArts 6-7 inch figures or no, but with a 22" wingspan and at 7.5" tall. wow. well you might need a special room just to have room to take pictures of him( as for me, i just placed him on my sofa as always, though.)   i don’t have a display area big enough in my room for him right now. 

This guy is not a SHMA actually. (I'd say a prototype of the SHMA's engineering  ) and an incredibly sculpted/articulated  figure.

I did already some modifications on his face to fit it to the original as seen in the game.
A major downside, however, is  deterioration of the latex wings. mine needed some TLC in the wings, which had rifts due to deterioration over time. 

Still I'd say this  is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of figure that you have to get. Not many of these large monsters come out  and when they do, you have buy them. even though ive parted with a few figures of my collection  a long time ago, this one remains. It’s a beautiful part of my figure collection

sorry for the late. well, I used some super-glues for the rifts  but it didnt solve the problem completely . i mean  the deterioration of the latex still goin on. and the more you move the wings, the more deterioration is going on.

it's Spiral. i dont think i can stop/repair  the deterioration    unless i remake the wings itself....

Also, I've gotten a few figures since my last position I just haven't posted them because I haven't had the time. Sorry for not posting. I'll probably just get them all in a group shot later.

It doesn't matter I wasn't really in the market for a Rathalos figure anyways. Mostly because the Figuarts Tamashii MIX Zinogre (Jinouga) is about to be released! I've​ always liked Zinogre better than Rathalos to be honet
