What reviewers are saying

Ecosystem

Stringer 1.0 — 2012 Stringer has 42 pieces vs. 17 pieces in 1.0 at the same price, representing significant improvement in value and piece count.

Stringer 3.0 — 2012 Stringer has 42 pieces vs. 30 pieces in 3.0 at the same or lower price, representing good value progression.

Evo (small Hero, 2012) — Evo looks more coherent but is harder to pose; Stringer offers better playability and guitar aesthetic.

Surge (small Hero, 2012) — Surge may have too much lime green for some tastes; Stringer's blue color scheme offers a more balanced aesthetic.
