This is a great Cap figure. It’s a full on representation of how he looked in his 80’s comic book run drawn by the excellent artist Mike Zeck. Zeck best known for drawing original Secret Wars series, original Punisher limited series & Kraven’s Last Hunt. Awesome work. You can obviously add the 40’s style mask & shield which is cool but the more modern look is the best version.

Nice Review. I like these new Obscura Figura, cool to get a male & female set. Articulation isn’t the end all, be all for figures. Some get hung up on that. To me it’s dependent on the character. Spider-Man needs high articulation. The Hulk does not. Most Mythic Legions characters don’t need to be gymnastic in movements as many are armored up types but I do think some need greater range. Elves & such that are more fast moving & nimble need higher articulation. 4H did increase movement on their newer knights & they should evolve into more articulation in the future. They are fully about poping & swapping parts to customize, simpler joints allow for that better.
@stygianhopliteАй бұрын

Animester's silicone, I find, feels a lot more durable than than BFB's Scientific Catgirl. Animester advertises that you don't need to maintenance the soft parts with talc powder or anything because of their formula, which makes it likely it actually is a different material. Was talking with Exkurogane Studio, and he theorized it was polyurethane rather than silicone. I've played around with Whiskey Sour a fair bit, and she pulls off the splits just fine even without any treatment.

To me third form standing up straight is on par with 2nd form. (slightly shorter due to being hunched over). But the sizes are mad inconsistent across sources so I think it just comes to what you think looks the best 😅. I definetly prefer monstrous size here, would have loved to see figuarts oversize him rather than what we got anyday of the week. but with that said I still really like the Figuarts and dont regret picking it up, they've been releasing a ton of worse figures that aint worth it lately. probably even more expensive now though for newcomers, I think it cost about $100 after shipping/taxes and that was at the time it was up for preorder. 🤐

@@johnnytiger Damn thanks for reminding me. I was actually very interested in that line too. I will say this, the sculpt on this tiger boi is a hell of a lot more menacing and realistic. Animal Warriors looks more like a 90s cartoon throwback (which is not even remotely a bad thing). Picture He-Man or Thundercats. That being said, I'm definitely going to grab some of em.
just curious because, blind guy here can't see shit, ROFL, would this guy fit in with your everyday fantasy display, like mythic legions or dungeons and dragons? What kind of outfit is on him?
Hmm I think he's more of a comedic character. He's really just a scummy looking goblin/gremlin type character. Picture a big fat guy dressed as Santa (traditional red and black) with Grinch-green skin and a huge grin on his face. Around 6.5 inches so he fits in well with any 1/12 scale line if you want to mix your display up with something random heh.
Ah thanks :) I was hoping he'd be a bit more...monstrous, like the Spider Gremlin Neca made. That one I put in the background of my fantasy set up as a random demon LOL @@stygianhoplite
i'm so glad that you did this review! I have not gotten anything from this line of action figures yet, but I've been passing by them on and off regularly when I visit that website and keep asking myself, should I or shouldnt I?
Ha thanks. It's definitely a strange and hilarious line. Surprisingly good quality.
I’ve seen some sellers on eBay selling him for $95 new thank god
Im really thinking to buy this
She's pretty great ;)
This was the most unique and alien like form it should have been the last form, final Frieza is just skin without shell of his short version. Third form was the best.
Five star review for using the word “egregiously”! 😂 But serious, great figure and great review. The throne looks awesome. Not that many dioramas around so I think it’s definitely worth it and also generic enough to use with other figures. 👌
Ha thanks. And agreed, the throne really does make for an amazing background. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it.
I'm glad to finally have him tho i went with the non throne version cuz I had the old throne an it saves me some shelf space!😂
Ha yeah this throne definitely takes up major storage space. The box is almost the size of a kitty kennel 🤣
Before they give us other figures they give us alternatives head for these girls.
Good looking action figure. She's 6 1/2 inches tall. I believe that's what he said. She's almost as tall as Wonder Woman. Overall I like it.
Yep 6.5 inches
That's great. If I find her, I'll buy her. I looked her up on Google and I found out she's a villain. I already have Wonder Woman from DC MaFarlane MULTIVERSE. So she'll make a great match up.
Great video 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯
Many thanks friend, much appreciated ;)
Been waiting for this guy for over a year on bbts 💔🙏
He's probably going to release real soon ;)
I don't know why I'm watching reviews on this as I own it, and love it lol. But I must say this is a very indepth and well done review, like the rating system you have aswell. You should have more subscribers.
Many thanks friend. Glad you enjoyed it. Many more to come!
nice review, for what it's worth the Awakening Goku is still one of my absolute favorite figure. I'm so happy this guy didn't end up with issues like Trunks. that was a fear of mine for a while lol. everyone seems to have it as the best figure of the year which is great considering its probably the definitive moment of the series for the definite character so I couldn't be happier it seems to live up to that. def going to pick this up at some point soon.
For sure this figure is probably my favorite version of Goku in the series, was shocking to see the cheerful goof so brooding and pissed. And thanks for watching friend; you will definitely enjoy this figure 👍
My god... what a facesculpt! I`m totally in love :)
I got it and love it. Not the best for posing. Cloth goods would help. When you’re unhappy with a figure just send it to my P.O. Box. I’ll take care of it for you.
No need. I know how to fix em well enough for my liking. Sorry bud.
Looks strange not being on a card
You should giveaway another one of these to increase your subscribers. Or just tell me to f$&k off. 🤷♂️
I don't know who she is either, but she looks dope. Great review! Wish she had some sort of ball waist.
Agreed, would definitely take her articulation up a notch. Thanks for watching ;)
Thx man for sharing !
no problem, thanks for watching ;)
To me third form standing up straight is on par with 2nd form. (slightly shorter due to being hunched over). But the sizes are mad inconsistent across sources so I think it just comes to what you think looks the best 😅. I definetly prefer monstrous size here, would have loved to see figuarts oversize him rather than what we got anyday of the week. but with that said I still really like the Figuarts and dont regret picking it up, they've been releasing a ton of worse figures that aint worth it lately. probably even more expensive now though for newcomers, I think it cost about $100 after shipping/taxes and that was at the time it was up for preorder. 🤐
Definitely prefer him monstrous myself. Makes the final form all the more jarring given how tiny and sleek it is. Tamashii definitely wanted to save on plastic with that route though, pretty scummy. And as much as I hate the tiny form 3, yes he's definitely a solid figure. Thanks for watching ;)
