A while back I reviewed some Big Hero 6 toys from Bandai. Well, Bandai also has some new model kits called SpruKits and they also sent me one to review. SpruKits are highly detailed models that snap together. The pieces stay on a spru until you pop them off. Each piece is numbered to make it easy to identify and assemble.

The bottom of the display is in the color of the character’s element and on the packaging two more of Eon’s elite were shown: Trigger Happy and Whirlwind.
