'Hunter - Nemisite strikes with the speed of lightning...and hides inside a flashy Corvette.'
Nemisite is one of the more snap-together Parasites. As with the other sports car model, it suffers from the alt mode needing to fit into too small a shell for the robot's size.
While metal rivets at the knees and ankles are welcome, arm articulation is not play friendly and it's way too easy to accidentally pop them off. It's very likely this is one of the models California R&D were not happy with Matchbox's final manufacture of.
To its credit, Nemisite does fold up to mostly fit into the small Corvette shell and the mode change is clever.
Condition: All examples are freshly removed from card. Diecast and chrome damage are the result of sub-par manufacturing and packing processes.
