Thrustmaster
Super Freak
I've been quiet out of this hobby for awhile, but had to get this figure after I decided not to spend all that amount for the CultKing release. And damn, I'm impressed by this release. The armor is a beauty, those details are great and the proportions are perfect and you can actually pose him very vell and the armor will still sit perfectly. The sculpt has a strong likeness, if you treat it well. With a nice treatment i mean that hair. Out of the box, it looks strange. So i had to restyle his haircut and it made the likeness more to shine. Still the sculpt has room for improvements, BUT in my opinion it looks better then CultKings release. The sculpt looks also much better inhand than on any picture i've seen.
The only thing i would have wished would have been a different tunic. Here we got a simple generic one colour tunic, but the original one has some lovely details to it. It's a missed opportunity, especially that this figure is so damn detailed. And the swords/katanas,... yeah... they look alright, but still would have wished some high-quality katanas. and also the engraving on one of the swords.
But still overall it is a lovely and highly appreciated release with so many details. For me, it was a grail. I was really sad not getting the CultKing figure, but with that price-tag it was a no-go. And when i compare them, even the figure by itself looks much better then the CK. But still, it's just my oppinion and everyone has a different taste For those who are debating if they should get it or not, don't hesitate and get it. It's definitely an eye-catcher.
