The best of Greymons.
I'm sure I've mentioned it before, back when this was a gaming blog, but I've always preferred Digimon over Pokemon, and my favorite Digimon was forever, and always,
Wargreymon. I used to own a couple of Wargreymon figures growing up, my favorite being a rather large, articulated,
bootleg figure I got in Brazil. So boy, oh boy, am I happy to own this guy again.
And he is
GREAT. He has the same issue other Anime Heroes/Dragon Ball Stars/Game Dimensions have in that he looks very
plastic-y, but this sculpt is nothing short of
incredible. While there are some
tiny inaccuracies, like some highlights on his chestplate not being painted in a darker grey, the rest of the figure looks exactly like Wargreymon. And while it seems
cheap, to avoid using paint, they molded a ton of different pieces in different colors and then joined them together. It's cheaper than using paint, but, it also means that there is little chance for paint errors here.
The articulation is phenomenal. He has bicep swivels, as well as double jointed knees and elbows. His hands lie on static ball-joints, which I
think are more durable than Japanese ball joints. His feet are ball jointed and, sadly, his legs are on drop down hips, sure, they add more articulation, but ever since Superior Spider-Man... I've been wary about them. His waist is on a ball joint, and he has no ab crunch. I
might just glue them on. He is only a smidge shorter than the Bucky Cap mold.
A lot of his waist plates and shoulder plates are on hinges, allowing you to move them out of the way of the articulation.
His wings/shield lie on double-ended ball joints, which lets you play around with it.
Is this Anime Heroes redemption? Well... I think not, but this figure in particular is
incredible. the paint could be a bit better, so that he doesn't feel so much like a toy, but other than that? Great figure.
Cheap too!
