Title: 71486 NovelMore rocket man
Post by: Rasputin on November 05, 2025, 15:35:42: I had a bit of a challenge finally finding this set. I may have missed its US distribution run . Anyways, when I became aware of this set I had to get it.

It’s a clownish rocket cart

I think it hit its mark

Post by: Rasputin on November 05, 2025, 15:54:33: Over all I’m satisfied with this set. Hard to find and worth it. I know the side rockets are silly but they will be repurposed for other areas so they are still useful . The one thing I’d like changed is the hammer, it’s a muted orange, dark brown would have been better for my taste

Overall a great set that if found at a decent price, I’d get a dozen more

It's unfortunate that the side of the head with the normal face doesn't have the face paint. :-\

Post by: Klickteryx on November 06, 2025, 11:13:45: It's a nice set and I think will be a classic for the series and must for all Raiders fans. It's the same printed version that comes with Dario's workshop (advent calendar). We just had Guy Fawke's Night so this set is pretty in keeping with that.

I think the lack of paint on the 'normal' side is meant to show everyday psycho in medicated form and the painted side is off his meds au naturale.
