Action Figure #878: Overwatch Ultimates Reinhardt

 Hammer Time just turned serious. Deadly serious.

 Sometimes, all a boy wants is a giant toy to play with. Which is why getting Reinhardt was a no brainer. Tall, huge and helluva expensive, I managed to find him at a decent price, albeit missing a couple of accessories.

 Reinhardt is the first figure from this line that I  would call 100% spectacular. The figure is cast in dark greys and lighter, metallic greys, and it all helps make him look like a Knight. The energy nodes are, much like Genji, painted with dull yellows, but since the rest of the figure looks so imposing, and all the sculpted details are so large... they don't look half as bad as Genji's.

 He comes with his huge hammer, which is too heavy for cool single-handed poses and, had I gotten him complete, a shield and a deployed shield.

 He gets double jointed elbows and knees, but the armored limbs are so thick they might as well be single jointed for all the range they get. He has bicep swivels and thigh swivels, but the thigh armor is so thick that you can't turn the legs very well, nor do they allow for a decent leg split. The ab crunch is ball jointed, but it doesn't get much of a crunch mind you, and he has no waist articulation whatsoever. The huge shoulder pads can move up and down, thus allowing him to raise his arms without much issue. He is quite a tall boy, towering over Bucky Cap, being closer to Hulk's height than anything.

 Soldier: 76 was the first Overwatch figure I thought was really good. Well, Reinhardt is the first one I think is a must have. The articulation isn't amazing, but it's serviceable, and the sculpt is just SO good, he is such a fun figure to own.
