Crow Suru Tai Figure

This is a toy that I had as a child which I bought from a model shop in Basingstoke. For many years now I have been trying to find it again but today I finally came across it in Mandarake.

I found it on top of a stack of other old model kits, as if it was waiting for me there, and I held it in my hands for some time as waves of nostalgia washed over me. I only had my memories to help me find this, not even knowing its name I couldn't find it on the internet or E-bay, the only record I had was an old xmas photo of me opening presents with the model sitting in the background.

The only question now is do I build the thing or leave it in the unwrapped condition it is currently in? I feel as if it is my duty to breath life into its plastic parts!
