Great project. My kids loved building it and playing with it afterward.
Fairly easy assemly. Instructions could provide a little more detail. (Instructions do not show metal disc on head, so we do not know whether the disc should be on the top or the bottom.) One body piece was not cut correctly. We plan to build our snake without this body section. Should be fine. Still building. Not yet tested.
My son bought this for his younger sister for Christmas. She loved putting it together and building it all herself. My only suggestion would be that Step 4 in part C would be better as Step 11 in part A, putting the clips on after the skin and wires are in place and everything is connected is a tiny bit more challenging than if it had been done prior.
