Also brand new are the 4" McFarlane Soul Calibur 2 figures. Firstly, let me say this: Knightmare is about 6" tall. 5-6". SOme of the ehight comes from his arm when it's above his head, but this guy is taller than 4", got it? Good. Nightmare himself is my favorite character- a kick-arse demon swordsman with one HECK of a freaky arm (See a trend between him and Junkman?) He wields a sword that nobody in their right mind would use, and yet he wins with it! Now, on to the figure...


Sculpt: Wow. just... wow. I think they shrunk the actual guy and gave him to me. Even at its "reduced" scale, this is Nightmare in all of his glory.

Articulation: This guy is made by McFarlane. Don't make me laugh. He has four points of articulation- both arms, the waist, and the head... kind of. The head barely moves. But hey, at least he can swing his sword! Wait... an elbow joint... FIVE points of articulation! WOw, for McFarlane, this is like a rag doll! (sarcasm)

Paint Job: Wowee... there is only one mis-applied paint splatter, and it's TINY. The sheer level of detailing on this guy looks proffesional and custom-made, and you have to see his sword to believe it.

Accessories: He comes with his sword (yeah), and a SPINNY SPINNY WHIRLY FUN base. When you stick him on his stand, you can SPIN HIM AROUND WHEE WHEE YAHOO! THere's also a cardboard backdrop to stick on the base... but why couldn't it be plastic, or styrene, or somethng more durable? Cardboard SUCKS. Maybe I should... get it laminated?

Pricing: at $8.99, he's highly underpriced. Buy now!!!!

GOtGM: 6. His sword is pretty gross, and the parts of his flesh that aren't covered by armor look like they belong to a zombie.

Overall: 4.8 out of 10. Good video game figures are hard to come by, and although he has the articulation of Frankenstein, this guy is still cool. A display piece if I ever saw one...

I think that is a pretty cool figure. I have seen them at EB the last few times that I have gone. That one is (to me) the best one of the bunch....besides the Spawn esclusive one.

So buddy...can I stick it on my site???? The review that is.

[Ridureyu]

Feel free to.

[Ridureyu]

Oh- and the best position is with his sword-arm folded forward, so the sword goes back across his chest.

There's a Spawn exclusive one??? WHERE?!!!

[Ridureyu]

Around, I guess- I saw one for sale in the local Electronics Boutique today.

The Spawn exclusives, Gamestop has a masked version exclusive to their stores, and EB has an unmasked version exclusive to them...

Wow!!! A McFarlame figure that has six points of articulation!!! Incredible.

Great review. He is a pretty cool looking figure. An excellent reproduction of the video game character.

Todd McFarlane is a very sick and twisted individual, but when he gets the license to something, it ROCKS (Alien vs. predator, for example)

Good review as always

The figure from the first soul caliber i spreety nice as well. Maybe I should do a review on that one.

Wow. I have to say for once, I'm not impressed. The exclusive spawn looks exactly like a scaled down version of Spawn IV. Pretty lame Mc Farlane, pretty lame. Here's a pic the original Spawn IV from Spawn.com

Also here's a pic of the exclusive. Not much difference except for the size.

Here's the unmasked version, the only difference here is the head, and he has an axe. I hate to say it, but I think for once I'll be avoiding this one.


BTW thanx for the info guys.
