Action Figure #829: Blokees Deadpool

 Broke a leg. Two of them

 It only took three kits, but I've finally got Deadpool going. First kit? Built it by myself. Right hip broke. Second kit, built it with my girlfriend, same EXACT break. I couldn't use the surviving pieces from each because I tried to superglue the first figure's hip. And now... I made sure that Wolvie's hips were compatible, and since my Wolverine was doing just fine, |I bought a second Wolverine and used hm as a donor. Finally, D-Pooly is complete.

 The sculpt is kind of a mixed bag. The overall figure is full of nice, little details with very precise paint apps. That said, the proportions and aesthetics are a bit on the cartoony side, which I don't mind for the most part, but, the connections between shoulders and torso are very gappy, which I think breaks up the mold a bit. It does wonders for the articulation, however! He comes with a head with neutral eyes, a head with happy eyes, two fists with holes for his hands, two open palms and two pointing finger hands. For weapons he includes his Katanas and the baby knife. No guns!

 The assembly process was more fun than Wolverine's, sine he had his pieces better categorized on the blisters.

 His only gun is forever stuck on its holster. And even if you were to remove it, the hole in his hands isn't large enough to grip the gun.

 Articulation is pretty darn good, the neck is on a double ball joint, both waist and ab crunch are on ball joints too, we get butterfly joints, drop down hips, toe articulation, bicep and thigh swivels as well as double jointed elbows and knees. Everything has great range, and those wonky shoulders allow for an impressive range when it comes to posing him. He is a bit shorter than the short king himself, Wolverine.

 So... Deadpool himself is a fun figure. Not the best looking shoulders, but posing him around, even before I got him working hips, was a lot of fun. All that said, I can' ignore the fact that his hips broke twice on me, and I did some online searching and found out I wasn't the only one. Which is a shame, as it does put a hamper on how much I liked this figure.
