Technically, this guy's got three heads.
While not quite my favorite, unlike Wargreymon,
Omegamon was another one of my favorite, and I also had a rather large bootleg figure of him... which I
also got in Brazil. So, yeah, having him back in my collection is great!
The sculpt looks pretty nice. Omegamon is a pretty simple design and they got him right. The paint job is very clean and sharp. Of note, is that the runes of his sword are actually sculpted in and painted. They went for an
anime-accurate color scheme, I guess it's called anime heroes for a reason, which explains the paste-like shade of yellow they went for his Greymon head-arm. Lastly, the cape is made of a harder plastic than I would've liked. It's not as hard as the rest of the figure, but it's not quite as pliable as Hasbro would've gone for.
Articulating this sculpt probably wasn't the easiest thing ever since he has a rather odd design. But he has drop-down hips, which I don't quite like due to fear of breaking. His elbows and knees are single jointed, which I guess is probably the best they could've done with how the guy looks. Both head-arms can turn, and the blue-shoulder guard can actually be
moved around. A swivel would've worked just as a well, but his waist is on a ball joint, not that the
small degree of forward-and-backward tilt on his torso adds anything to his poseability.
The blue arm is a bit heavy on the shoulder. The peg doesn't seem to be stressing,
but, there's always this small gap between shoulder and arm. He is slightly taller than Bucky Cap..
Omegamon is another fun figure. I'm starting to think that the Anime Heroes line works better for non-human characters, since they aren't trying to be realists, which works in favor of how this line paints and sculpts their figures.
