Hi all , I don`t get to post stuff much lately , in fact I seem to find little time of late for hobbies . However ... I recently purchased the above figure , and I really like him and thought it worth offering you my opinion . I will give you plenty of pics and comment where I feel necessary .
The Box is a lidded affair , and is nicely made and feels strong .
The contents are housed deeply in the foam , there is sadly a lack of hands in my opinion , but what you get is adequate for most poses I would say . It`s nice to get the options of bare feet and shoes . I love figures that have two differing head sculpts , and he does not disappoint . The 2nd sculpt , he looks like he has been roughed up a bit , and the mouth is posed to accept the supplied Cigar . You also get a nice pair of shades , a knife and a pistol with removeable magazine , which is nicely detailed .
Nice Suit , this guy is BIG !
The first sculpt , has a business look to it .
Typically these big guys have some limited articulation , you have to learn to live with it , and mess around to achieve the best poses He can offer .
on one of the hands is a ring , very Gangster
here is the 2nd sculpt , as you can see he has took some blows by the look of things , but wouldn`t want to see the other guy . This sculpt is also modelled to accept the cigar the Cigar .
Now if we take off the figures shirt we get to see his heavily tattooed body .
I am sorry but forgot to do the pics of his back , which is also very heavily tattooed
So here is what you get .
As I said I really like this figure , he has great character and his kit is well made , The double sculpts are right up my street , I love having that option . Now , the one thing that I did find disturbing , on undressing him , his shirt was tight as half expected , but I could feel it felt sticky , and it felt like I was peeling it off . I think it has definitely lifted / smudged some of the tattoo work . But you probably don`t notice this in the photos , it`s not horrendous , but guessing it would of got worse over time if just left . Taking off his pants and there is some small patches of black on his legs . I have written to my supplier , I don`t want to return him , but am hoping for a bit of discount . I have lightly washed the body , and applied talc , which I later rinsed off , and the body does not feel sticky anymore . I intend to gently wash the clothes too which I think will help . If anyone else does own this figure I would like to know if you had a similar issue . The recent heat likely does not help such things . If it had not been for the minor - ish staining , I think I would of given him 8/9 out of ten . He is an awesome dude !
