The video reviews the Mega Construx Cabal Thresher Gunship set, released in February 2019 and based on the original *Destiny* game. Key highlights include a detailed Ikora Rey figure equipped with a Destiny 2 shotgun and a Nova Bomb, and a comparison of the Thresher's size against other models like the Cabal Dropship. The build process of the Thresher is enjoyable, featuring functional thrusters, a working shooter, and a printed console for placing figures. The design, however, features a large, smooth canopy piece that creates a noticeable seam. The set includes a "Red Legion Legionnaire" figure with Sky Burner's Oath, although the weapon resembles a standard slug rifle. Emphasis is placed on the balance between playability and display qualities, with special appreciation for the inclusion of detailed paint applications and functional components. The review concludes with a nod to the importance of completing the Vanguard collection for collectors, inviting viewers' opinions on the set's features.

In this segment of the video, the host reviews the Cabal Thresher Gunship, a Mega Construx set based on the opening campaign of the original Destiny game. Released in February 2019, the set notably includes an official Ikora Rey figure with impressive paint applications and fine detail. The figure holds a Destiny 2 shotgun and is poised to use a Nova Bomb, with crisp printing on her robe and accessory. The Thresher Gunship comes with a stand for stability, which avoids the issues seen with earlier models like the Arcadia Jumpship. The host notes the Thresher’s solid display presence but debates its size compared to the Cabal Dropship set.

In this part of the video, the presenter discusses the size comparison and design complexity of a high-end flagship model versus a smaller craft. They express mixed feelings about the smaller craft’s size, noting that although it’s not tiny, they expected a more substantial difference. The Thresher build process is highlighted as enjoyable, particularly the first 70-75%, with functional thrusters that can be rotated. The presenter appreciates the build’s design quality but points out that the transition from individual pieces to a large single piece towards the end feels like a letdown. This large canopy piece, although well-produced, lacks the studded surfaces found elsewhere, creating a noticeable design seam. They also mention practical features like a working shooter and the ability to place a figure inside with a printed console.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the inclusion of certain features in a toy model, emphasizing the blend of playability and display qualities. They highlight the “red Legion Legionnaire” figure, which comes with a slug rifle—it’s marketed as “Sky Burner’s Oath” but looks like a standard slug rifle. The figure is notable for its dark gunmetal grey color with metallic flakes, and the detailed paint application on the jump pack. The figure fits snugly into the Thresher toy, despite tightness due to its rubber skirt piece. The speaker underscores the importance of including an official Ike or array in completing the original Vanguard collection, acknowledging the subjective nature of these inclusions and inviting viewer opinions.
