This is great! Love it!
Well now I know what I want for my birthday.
Haha, I love the "third eye" on them. When my brother had one of these guys we'd call it the "self-destruct button".
Also, those claws they have are no joke =| They're meant for hauling up trees...and I have quite a few scars on my arm from them.
