The quality is inferior. They are mostly for show as the plastic is not very strong. If you want Bruticus, you should get RID Ruination. It will cost more, but it's worth it.

I have a few, but I only got them for show, and because the characters such as Superion are hard to find.

A good Bruticus will only cost you up to 50 bucks American. I'm not sure of the conversion, but considering the other gestalts, he's one of the cheap ones. Don't settle for knockoffs, go for the real thing.

I have the real Bruticus, and I have to say that I was impressed with how inexpensive the new Ruination is...
the smaller ones are only $5.00 at Wal-Mart,
and Onslaught is only $10.00 ...so
you could really get a perfect replica for less than $30.00 including tax.
