Got my TToy Naruto today. Seriously, I can imagine some peeps liking the knock off version better than the official Medicom one. The colour of the TToy outfit & paint is so vibrant in comparison. It had me thinking I left my Medicom constantly out in the sunlight or something, with how washed out it looked in comparison, but it wasn't. It's simply the way the Medicom is, but I never really noticed, until I put it next to the TToy.
A few other notable things on the TToy:
- Has a fabric wired removable Konoha headband.
- Fabric pouch (Medicoms is plastic).
- More of an HT style body. I think I prefer the silhouette of the Medicom though. More "anime" to me I guess. But the TToy joints are hidden better.
- The smiley sculpts that I thought were pretty much the same in pictures, actually look different in person. I easily favour the Medicom. Maybe the cast on the TToy recast got warped a fraction, or the paint is subtly different somehow. Looks similar when they are not right next to each other, but you can easily tell the difference when they are standing side by side.
Haven't compared everything, but from playing around with the TToy a bit, I feel it was a good purchase. Plus you get all those extra Sage parts that the Medicom doesn't have. If there was something that I'd like changed, it would be the look of the Sage sculpt. I don't know exactly what it is, I mean, I like the regular Medicom sculpt that it's recast from, & I like Sage mode, so why do I not like the TToy Sage sculpt so much? Don't know. It simply doesn't look the way I want it to.
Already owning the Medicom figure, the highlights for me on the TToy was the quality vibrant outfit & Sage add ons. I feel the price was attractive at pre order time as well ($142 shipped worldwide, but now $159 shipped worldwide from the same place). If you missed out on the Medicom, this is a nice alternative.
Sorry for the pic less mini review. I might get a pic or video up later, if someone doesn't beat me to it in here already.
