Reviews
Pros
- Two highly detailed, hyper-realistic head sculpts capturing different emotional states (classic sad and angry expressions)
- Film-accurate, tight-fitting real fabric clothing with realistic texture and appearance
- Includes functioning metal chain shackles, two sets of swappable hands with attached forearms, and a display base with posing post
- Subtle grayscale paintwork with realistic shading and glossed eyes adding life and emotion
- Well-concealed articulation allowing for key poses true to the character’s limited mobility
- Character-specific sutured forearms and film-accurate asphalt spreader boots enhancing authenticity
- Tall figure with imposing presence, taller than average 6-inch scale figures, enhancing display impact
Cons
- Limited articulation in hands/wrists (no wrist articulation), feet lack rocker/tilt
- Sparse accessories beyond heads, hands, handcuffs, and stand; no additional props or diorama elements included
- Articulation compromises to maintain sculpt integrity and screen-accurate silhouette
- No upper arm swivel on some joints, limiting pose variety
- Perceived lack of value for accessories relative to price point compared to other figures in the line
