Invincible would've a field day with his alias!
Well, I was considering Jazzware's Total Anime line until I saw how
tall they were... but I got
Chainsaw Man for
free, due to Credit Card points, and figured a non-human looking character could fit my collection... so here we are.
Well, like with most non-import anime figures, the proportions look a
bit off. He's a bit too slim, a bit lanky, but for the most part, he looks pretty
decent. He comes with a simple plastic base, two alternate arms, an alternate head that has more blood on the saw, and three different mouth plates. Swapping the arms was very easy, and they stay on quite
firmly, same goes for the mouth plates.
He has a port on his back... maybe the torso piece isn't a unique sculpt? It's a
bit weird, and he does come with a little piece of plastic to cover it up, so it's fine.
Articulation is pretty good. He has double jointed elbows and knees with plenty of range each. Sadly, while you get swivels on his biceps, you can't turn the hands, due to the saws, so how you display the hands is
limited by the arms. He has very generous butterfly joints, and while he has no thigh swivels the legs are sort of sleeves that slot on the ball jointed hips, so you can
rotate his legs a bit. Sadly, he gets drop-down hips. His ab crunch and waist are on ball joints...
...but the range is very limited...
....
both forwards and backwards. His ab crunch is also very
squeaky when moving it to the sides and does an awful crack when you turn it. As seen
below, he is half a head taller than Bucky Cap, making him taller
than Star Wars and Power Rangers figures. A human, teenage Denji would definitely look off, but in his transformed state he
fits quite nicely.
Well, these Total Anime figures are not all that much better than Anime Heroes, but I quite liked this Chainsaw Man. They got a lot of things right, and if I find another figure from the line that I could fit among my figures I'll certainly check it out.
