NECA Motorized Sky-Hook Replica Review

Used for zip-lining... and ripping someone's head off. 
I'm going to keep this one nice and short since I almost never review stuff like this, ever. Being a fan of Bioshock and knowing how expensive these things usually are(Found at Hastings for $40) I snatched it up. First impressions, other than the fact it's absolutely massive, the build quality is pretty good. Its made of the same type of plastic you find high quality Halloween props made out of. Holding it is somewhat uncomfortable because it uses a knuckleduster for it's grip and the trigger pull to spin up the hooks is a little tough. I did also notice that the big gear on the left side of the Sky-Hook was a little loose but I might be able to tighten it's screw down to fix that. Much these little quirks can be overlooked as it is a video game weapon and no real living human was intended to ever use it in real life, but there are a few things like the loose gear and the tough trigger pull that could be a little bit better... electric motor maybe? It's a nice quality prop, there's just some touching up it could use here and there. It still looks absolutely badass on display.
