Pics of Borderlands Claptrap figure from NECA

For some reason, the original Claptrap figure from NECA became really hard to find and the prices started rising to crazy levels. I didn't really want to pay the extravagant prices, but the longer I waited, it started to become even harder to get and prices showed no sign of dropping.

I was thinking that if I really wanted to get the full set of Claptraps, I would have to go ahead and pay the crazy prices.

I was really resigned to get one when I had extra cash, when I found one locally for the retail price it used to go at.. Just SGD$30 for this gem!

Have to thank my friend, Jerome for introducing a marketplace app for local buyers & sellers where I found this figure. Thanks again Jerome!

Here's more pics..

Comes with a cool base and stand that allows Claptrap to stand up right..

It's a nice figure. Has decent articulation for a Claptrap. Not much you can do with the body but that's expected. Only wish the eye could be moved around to make him look at different angles.

I also have the Blue variant somewhere, so just need to get the other 2 to complete the set. I'm also very disappointed that NECA decided to just do Claptrap variants. They had prototypes of Gunzerker and Zero but those never got produced. It would have been a very nice line-up of Borderlands figures.
