WWRp Caesar Surgeon G

*Warning. Image heavy post.*

Next in line for my medic squad - Caesar! Had this for quite some time now, but never got around to opening it with all the other stuff coming in. But here it is at long last.

While Caesar does not have a window to look at the bot through the packaging like the recent Bertie, have, it has a sort of paper sleeve around the actual box. The actual box is a generic packaging, so it might be a quick and easy way for 3A to produce multiple box designs by just changing the sleeve.

Nice Caesar artwork on the actual box.

Caesar comes packed in three clam shell layers, or two and a half if you will. The shell is designed to accommodate the double shield variants and the DIY version with two heads I suppose.

The 'half' layer at the back encases the rifle, while the handgun and knife are packed loose.

The contents out of the box. Caesar reminds me of the Dropcloth - both have that cloth covering their groins.  The cloth itself is wired at the bottom edges, allowing for some more dynamic poses I suppose.

A closer look at the rifle. Like the Armstrong's, it comes with a detachable magazine. This time, I remembered to take a photo of the cartridge with the bullet in it. Nice detail!

After the rifle, the gun and knife are an absolute let down. Pure white, seriously? Everything else has been weathered to a yellow/beige tone, including the rifle, but for some reason, the gun and knife cannot match it? Nothing else in this set has that colour, and they stick out like sore thumbs. Even the red is overly bright and an utter mismatch, while the weathering is different from the rest. What were they thinking???

Sadly for me, it seems like it's a medic thing. The other Caesars' photos that I've seen showed guns and knives that match their rifles and Caesars pretty seamlessly.

Gun in pouch. Stark contrast as seen.

Knife not so bad, since most of it is hidden.

Seems like even in the fictional world of WWR, Rothchild believes in economies of scale and cheap labour, preferring to manufacture in China instead of lunar base.

The feet are made of two sections - the front half can be bent somewhat like how a human toe would work. Love that!

Shield is attached on a ball joint for articulation.

The shield design head on.

Articulation for Caesar is pretty good, with joints similar to the other bots. However, there were certain areas that were paintlocked and I faced some pretty tense moments trying to move them. Specifically, the head and the left knee joint were the toughest. I was half afraid I'd break the left leg before the knee joint would bend.

The Caesar has a yellowed look similar to the Bertie, and they go well together. While I prefer Armstrong's darker look, at least now these two don't look so out of place with each other for company.
