Worldbox X Onetoys OT019 Man Of War (God of War Kratos)

[vaanrose]

What was the price of this figure at retail?

$285 usd.

There's still a handful in the sub $390 region on ebay, so anyone fence sitting should not wait. This one is destined to be one of those that hits the $800+ range before disappearing off ebay forever in a year or two imho.

Interesting this was the sticker I was on about says pre order. Strange not very good communication on pre order stuff.

Yeah, this sticker is on mine. I ordered mine through giantoy. I think the preorder situation is more relevant for local sellers in China where this figure might conceivably be available physically on store shelves. I think all the international exporters would've placed their order within the preorder window.

Seems like just the Mimir head (no spear or cape) unless I’m mistaken.

It's funny that I saw a lot of people criticizing this Kratos, especially on reddit, but now that he's out, the figure has so many positive points that it overshadows the other negative points

Mine is out for delivery! First day back at work after the holiday break though so won't be able to open until later anyway. Looking forward to adding this to the video game shelf

It’s nice reading all of the good things being said about Kratos and how well he’s put together. When Jinx finally arrives I’m pretty confident that she’s going to every bit the figure we’re hoping for and then some. Really excited for their next release! Congrats to all those who got a favorite character and that they did some justice to him in their production.

Final touches on display and small snow added to cape

just unboxed him and he’s definitely an imposing figure! Got all the bonus accessories as well even though I PO’d way late with OSK.

With what everyone has said about the super stiff joints, before I do anything, I’m going to remove the hands and arm coverings and hit the elbows with the heat gun to loosen up the joints a bit.

I’m also going to test putting a magnet in the forearm sleeve and on the back of the shield (full and retracted) so that I don’t have to use the clip.

All the skintone paintwork is where it’s lacking, but everything else looks and feels top notch. IF HT/InArt were to make this, I can only really see the upgrades being paintwork, moveable eyes, probably a magnet for the shield and maybe seamless silicone arms/upper body with the burn details on the forearms.

Overall, very happy with this figure. Thank goodness I played and finished Ragnarok before the PO was cut off, otherwise I most likely would’ve passed on this

Nice, please report back on the shield mod. I will try this with mine too, as soon as he arrives. Though I‘ll probably put a thin metal piece under the arm sleeve and a magnet on the shield, since I think no magnet I own will fit under the arm sleeve comfortably.

 

[Gipetto0812]

Finally got a chance to sit with this guy since you have to tie those extra parts on him. Mimir I sort of understand, but the little bag and knife sheath definitely should’ve been sculpted pieces already attached as other have said. I didn’t have any trouble getting them on, but that doesn’t make it less annoying.

He’s a real beast on display! Towers over pretty much everyone in my 1/6 collection.

I know some folks will call me crazy, but I’m way more happy/impressed with this figure than InArt Superman which was my previous most recent arrival. I’ve already got him on display whereas all my InArt figures are still sitting in their boxes. That’s not to say this is “better” than those, I’m just enjoying this figure way more than them. Only thing I really need is to get a proper nameplate made for my display stand by Cro.customs

That’s a good idea actually!

I might see if one of the thin, metal plates I have will make a strong enough connection to a magnet through the forearm armor. If so, that’ll definitely be a better solution than trying to fit a thin magnet in there and hoping I glue it in the right spot

Ok magnets tested aaaaaand it works for the retracted shield but the open shield it just too heavy.

The only way I think the open shield would work would be to dremel out the center circle to make space for a larger 18mm magnet and then get a spare gauntlet to do the same. However, at that point, might as well glue it on.

It’s more work than I’d like to do so I’m happy just the retracted shield having the “invisible” connection.

Kit just added some more stock if anybody wants one.

Was it to heavy for the magnet? What kind of magnet did you use and how did you attach the magnet to the open shield? The shield is plastic, correct?

In my head I considered glueing it to the shield, but first I would try using Blue Tack to attach the magnet to the shield.

it was too heavy for the magnetic connections. The magnets themselves stayed in place on the shield and inside the forearm. The connection just isn't strong enough for the weight of the shield. The shield is plastic, but it's a heavy plastic. Just like how the body is plastic, but it's a heavier, more durable plastic than what you see from other companies. And I used rare earth neodymium magnets.

Thanks Gipetto. I also have small neodym magnets at hand. Looks like the magnets have to be attached permanently to the shield.

The magnets are permanently attached to the shield and inside the forearm armor. Like I said, the magnet isn't coming off of the shield. It's on there. Its the connection between the magnet inside the forearm armor and the one attached to the shield that isn't strong enough.

But, I'm happy to see if you come up with something better, hopefully I could very well be doing something that's just not working out right.

Ahh, now I get it. I‘ll try my luck as soon as the figure gets here.
