The kit uses rubber band for it's action mechanism.

When you press the tail part, the Power Mantis will lean forward and opens it claws.

The Good:
The rubber band gimmick is a fresh new idea for zoids.
The design really resembles a mantis.
The transparent wings looks good.
This is a rare piece.
The Bad.
The Color Scheme, It could be better.
There is a tendency for the rubber bands to snap or melt.
