Woah there big guy, patience is a virtue my friend (many of the guys here are adults with jobs and families, so sometimes it takes a while for people to answer).... Found him last Sunday (a week ago), so I've had a little bit (a very little bit since I'm one of those guys I mentione above, at least sorta, kinda) of time to play around with him the past week.... Aesthetically, he is a pretty cool looking figure. Unfortunately, he is probably one of my least favorite figures as far as articulation is concerned. Don't get me wrong, his articulation is good, it just seems to have a handful of minor issues. 1. The wrists are articulated backwards from every other figure. Now I'm sure that in theory it sounded like a good idea, and in actuality a couple of poses with his hands do look good, but overall it is rather limiting to the design of the figure. 2. The knees don't really allow for much in the way of different looking leg poses, the legs stay VERY near the same length and general look, no matter what different poses you attempt to put them in. 3. The feet have this wonderful (again in theory) "toe" articulation that is darned near worthless. For one, he can't balance on one foot, so no really cool "toe flexed" poses for the goblin (unless you hang him from a string). For two, it really serves little to no purpose to further the overall design of the figure. Okay, so I can look past these small articulation shortcomings (mostly because he does look pretty cool), but he also has less accessories than any other figure (by far), and only two peg holes for accessories on his forearms (1 each) and four on his torso (2 front, 2 back). His wrist guantlets also kinda hover above his arm instead of actually appearing to be attached to the forearm. Last but not least, his staff is very cool, but that's it, no other weapons in sight, not even a EV-AC (the only figure that doesn't come with one so far). Now, you're probably saying, WOW this figure must suck, but despite his shortcomings, I actually still think that it's a pretty cool figure (especially when compared to a number of other toys in the same price bracket that are currently on the shelves), he's just a notch below most of the other Xevoz figures currently available. Oh, one final note, he is still cool enough for me to have two of him in my collection, I have been picking up two of every figure, which I'm finding has become a rather costly bad habit  . Just not one that I'm ready to break quite yet  . This collection has now mostly consumed my Gundam and my Stikfas funds, darned Hasbro >:8, darned Xevoz  . There you have it, my honest opinion, take it for what you will. -Shane |
