It is sturdy and it's heavy.
What I don't like (but that's not iRex specific but applies for the majority of consumer products): Plastic or not, it's possible to manufacture this very accurately as well. But this would need resources like automotive manufacturers for example may have it. Given the batch size I've assumed in #97 of this thread, this kind of quality level and accuracy obviously simply isn't possible/affordable for such small figures/revenue/production lots.
