When I first saw the pictures of the Stars, I was really happy. The final sets are look backs at some fan favorites. There's Takanuva, Tahu, a Rahkshi, Gresh, Nekta... Gresh?! Why the hell is Gresh in there? He isn't a big character, and never really did anything important. Skrall makes sense, considering they're the main villain of 09, but why Gresh?

Well, anyway, I decided to get Gresh today. I dunno, at the store he just seemed to say buy me.

The Canister-



The average Stars canister.

New & Recolored Parts-



As you can see, there's actually quite a bit of new parts on Gresh. There's the new armor pieces which are only available in this set, two new feet in lime green, the gold armor part for Tahu, a lime green Gresh helmet (<3) and two blades now in silver. The torso piece is also now in dark green, but I didn't remove it in fear of snapping joints. That's quite a lot for his size.

Building Experience-

Gresh's build is simple and will only take you about thirty seconds. There are a few new things, such as adding the armor and the feet, but it's pretty much the standard Agori build. That's not a bad thing though.

The Complete Set-



Gresh looks great! The colors work great together, and are nicely balanced and placed. The lime green head also blends nicely with the colors. The armor is nice and definitely sets him apart from Tahu and Takanuva.



The blades are a little large for him though. I would have liked to see them downsized, but that's something TLG probably wouldn't do. However, you can still merge them into a shield, which I think looks better:



Gresh has the standard nine points of articulation which most small sets have had for the past few years. The bent arms help with action poses. Unfortunately, he can hardly turn his head without having it tilted.





Also something to note, he makes a great companion to Skrall, as they are from the same year.



Overall-

Although his spot in the Stars line is quite questionable, I'm quite happy with Stars Gresh. He has some problems, but I find that they are minor complaints. He looks great, has good articulation, and is worth a purchase if you are into the Stars line.
