Terrosite - Parasites

'Advanced Spy Scout - A master of concealment. Terrosite is the ultimate spy. His hiding place: a Chevy Van.'

As a departure from humanoid forms, Terrosite visually works very well. It employs the same weapons raised up through the wheel arches design as Destructite, however that's where the similarities end.

Terrosite really needed some metal pins or rods at major articulation points. Even straight off the card, the head section tends to droop down at the first main joint and older, play worn examples can get overall floppy. It looks cool, is comparatively long stretched out vs. the other Parasites and is only otherwise let down by being completely visible inside the van shell.

Condition: All examples are freshly removed from card. Diecast and chrome damage are the result of sub-par manufacturing and packing processes.

See Parasites main index for more details.
