Rating: - Looks can be decieving
So, i bought this figure for several reasons, foremost of which it just looks awesome
and having gotten it home, it does
it looks awesome
but looks can be decieving
there are a couple problems with this thing
most notable of which is the right hand
the pictures show it holding the hammer, yet mine came glued together, and i actually had to cut the thumb away from the fingers
that being said, the individual peices on this thing are very high quality plastic
i am somewhat afraid of breaking it, but i'll explain that in my next point
the articualtion is a brain teaser
some of it is standard, the ankles move, the knees move, the chest moves, and the shoulders bend
but they crammed a lot of articulation into a timy figure, and that means that figuring out what piece rotates is a pain in the patuki
and it doesn't hold the hammer with both hands, only the left
but
the hammer rocks
like
really
it just plain rocks
the detail and painting is fantastic, and the peg hole for attatching it to the backs of characters is practicly invisable
also, the plastic gives enough that extranious bits like the prongs on the head and arm shield have little fear of breaking or falling off
all in all, this is a great figure for display, albiet somewhat awekwardly (i've found using the hammer as a guitar works well :D)
this toy is alright for play, not the best thing, but not horrible either
