Packaging: Slide-the-card-off-the-plastic style. Same ol' card
Where Can I Buy It?: picked this up on ebay
Price Range: $3.99!!!
Sculpt (4 out of 5):
I think this figure is sculpted very nicely. I really like the rocky texture along with the karate gi with frayed edges and such.
It is rotocast/hollow, but that's OK because if this thing was solid i think it would be way too heavy. He's got a cool smirk on his face with the evilish eyes that look more menacing than the tiny little figure you can see pictured in his hand below. We used to think that little figure was a ghost when we were kids! The only thing you are mistaking this big figure for now is a giant grey turd!
Paint (3.75 out of 5)
This figure has a great paint job in my opinion. There is cool shading on the rock texture as well as his outfit
There is a messy line where his belt meets his gi, but that is the only obvious paint problem.
The eyes are a nice touch with the high-gloss red.
Articulation (2.5 out of 5):
I was surprised at how much articulation this figure actually has. His shoulders, biceps and wrists all rotate.
But on his legs actually, the hips, knees and even feet rotate. I don't see much use for it honestly, but at least they are there. That earns bonus points in my book for the extra attention
Accessories (N/A):
No accesories
Coolness (4.5 out of 5):
Thanks to sheer size, this guy is one of the coolest I have seen. His paint is great and he looks like a genuine badass instead of a little wimpy grey ghost. He will tower over (and around!) most figures you own
Value (5 out of 5):
I'm not sure one will be able to find this guy for the price I got him at very often. 4 bucks (and about 4 in shipping when all was said and done) just can't be beat. I only have a couple other toys that approach this size and in the case of my Stay Puft Marshmallow man, he was certainly more expensive. This is an excellent value if you can find it at this price, and honestly it would be a great value up into the 25-30 dollar range.
Overall (4.75 out of 5):
I'm always going to have to take off points for figures that are hollow inside and that have limited movement... but in all fairness, this is about as good as it gets when trying to make an action figure out of a big rock
Good points - good paint; HUMONGOUS; surprising multiple points of articulation; nice mold; awesome price
Negative points - points of articulation don't do a lot except move... posing is limited; no accessories... I am nitpicking here
I would definitely say pick this up if you are in the market for a big, imposing action figure. I got it at an amazing price, but like I said earlier, this would be worth it at several times the price I paid. I paid near 30 for a 13" tall Stay Puft Marshmallow man a few years ago, and it is still one of my favorite toys.
