Really happy with how it turned out! Decided to show it off to strangers for now as I haven't given it to him yet and i know he isn't on here. 😆. And it lights up!

Are the gears plastic, or are they real gears that turn?

Printed plastic, but I'm glad my paint job made you question! I do wish the gears turned, but the model designer was trying to emulate what he saw in the game, which didn't seem to care about real functional parts, haha
