Ive actually never cared for Raiden
but damn that is a great fucking figure...

Just to warn you though, it has a lot of issues. Not so much to do with QC, but it's more to do with how its elbows are designed poorly to the point that it will always break unless you never move them at all. In this regard, I'd only recommend it if you're a diehard fan of Raiden and in desperate need of a 1/6 figure of him.

how?

The way the elbow joints are designed, they're put together in such a way that the joint doesn't slide properly and instead it pulls the rest of the internal mechanism. Basically moving the joint strains the plastic enough to slowly break it internally. The hard part is how the arms are also covered in a rubber sleeve (to hide the joint) so you'd really have to customize it if you want a working elbow joint (I've seen some people offer services to fix the elbow joint on the Sideshow Freaks forums).
Beyond that, there's no other problems, which kinda sucks because it's really just the elbow construction that ruins an otherwise great Hot Toys figure.

I have one. I count myself lucky the elbows seem to be fine on mine. For some reason the Asian stock was largely unaffected.
It's a beautiful, beautiful display piece but I do feel Hot Toys were far too ambitious with the design. There's so many overlapping layers of small, delicate parts, hoses on the waist and legs, tiny scale joints on the scabbard arm, etc that it's not a figure you'd want to mess around with much even though it actually is extremely well-articulated and stable.

Rubber rot is actually the last thing I'm worried about with this figure.
