To make it short: I have not bought the plasma Hatcher for the toy. This is, at best, "whimsical" and really really nowadays, I wonder the children play with something. No, I bought the part because of the packaging, said exactly the plastic wrapping that how to use fine as landing Spore Tyranid. But beware: before you want to paint the part you should sprinkle it with matt varnish, and only then as usual be primed and painted, otherwise your color will not stick on it.
