BUBBLE HEAD NURSE

 Up at this point i am really worryed for my Silent Hill collection, not because how big it is but because it looks less as a collection and more like a shrine with the same character over and over and over again. I do love Silent Hill 2 to death but it seems this game is the only existing for merch porpuse soo i felt is imposible to form a collection that showcase Silent Hill properly and now we only have a kind of cult towards the Red Pyramid Thing and the Bubble Head Nurse.

With that aside it makes me happy the game is finally getting merch to collect and now Kotobukiya got the IP and start a new collection starting with - yess........you guessed rigth - the Bubble Head Nurse and Red Pyramid Thing tough this time around the also added the Abstract Daddy as a huge surprise. Sadly thats the worst decision they have done, not because of wath the creature represent but because it have the less interesting design of the whole game. Its basically a door with tiny little baby feet and arms in once side and something brown and humid that looks like shit on a table.....only by learning wath it represents it takes form, but with no information, this is a creature with...well, no shape at all soo its not specially scary either and since Red Pyramid Thing is not out yet, i went for the Bubble Head Nurse.

This girl is part of the Oshi Works line from Kotobukiya, this is pretty much the same as the Pop Up Parade line for Good smile Company; a series of statues with affordable prices - cheap figures basically tough this Nurse wasnt cheap at all, she was more like twice the price of the Pop Up Nurse but the quality here is insane!!!

This Nurse is on her own scale soo she is much taller than the Nendroids, Figmas and even your standar NECA or McFarlane figures but she is smaller than a Hot Toys or Sideshow soo she is not 1/6....she is traped in a kind of 1/7 or 1/8 scale soo she dosnt fit with any other brand at all tough her size is really good, big enough to have a strong presence on the shelves. She cant stand on her own at all but she comes with a base that works wonderfull but more of that later.

Theres no articulation here and no asembly requiered, this is a solid piece. And finally FINALLY!!!! We got a Nurse that is not in the same pose as the Gecco statues!!!! Finally a brand new pose for the Nurse!!! No twisting hips or legs walking, no iron pipe at the side and head tolt to the other side!!! Here we have the Nurse standing in a kind of neutral and pasive pose with her back hunched and looking at something that picks her attention. A very basic pose that thanks to thr subtle details looks very natural and livelly.

The ehad have no face and only have the fins thingys that mimics hair at the side but the texture is a little but rugged....almost like velvet while her uniform and cap have a much strong rugged texture, a little bit like rock and thats gives her a pretty unique look. This is the Nurse form the remake soo she have long tights and high heels that have small marks of wear. The anatomy and volume is perfect, she looks quiet petite like in the game and while she have big boobs, i feel like the pose is more "monster like" than something sexy.

The paint is amazing!!! The tigths have a plum color mixed with some dark washes on the top and bottom of them while the uniform and cap are dull grey but they also have not only dark grey shadows in certain areas to high ligth the shadows and volume (like under her boobs of her groin area) but it also have some yellow stains in places where the uniform is thorn and some blue stains too that mixe perfectly and makes he rlooks.....very dirty and natural.

The skin is pink maybe or maybe a little bit purple....or white? I dont know, the color skin looks not human at all the more you look at it and it have purple and blue brush aplied very softly that looks like bruises. The ehad also have a fantastic mix of white, greys, dark greys, sof reds and blues that makes it looks like a swallow growth of tissue while the dark greys are aplied where her eyes are supposed to be soo they give her a shadow of a face.

Its pretty hard to explain it but i am not sure if its the point, the material or the union of both but the Nurse looks almost iridiscent, like a pearl, like theres a weird transparency going on here on all her body except her legs, looks almost ethereal and thats somethign no other figure of this monster has done before deffinetly.

The red square at the front of her face cant be removed sadly but her weapon can be, the iron pipe is pretty good looking as well with bolts conecting the different sections and a surty texture that mix perfectly with the metalic black and silver used on it and looks perfecly reslistic and natural. The pip fits perfectly on her hand.

And finally theres a base, a big square black base with the Silent Hill 2 logo engraved at front but since the logo and base are all black is difficult to see it but its good that the base is customized for the character despite being soo simple looking....simple looking, elegant and also, metalic. Yes, this is a metalic base with some considerable weigth on it and the Nurse have magnets on her high heels.

This is the very firs time i see this, a figure with magnets on the feet and a metalic base, thats usually reserved for the high end super expensive resin statues of Sideshow or Iron Studio, but here is Kotobukiya adding magnets to theyr cheap figure line.....and i already try it and yes, this Nurse can stand pretty much on the fridge or any metalic surface, she can even hang upside down for some really freaky and creative display.

Overall, this is pretty much the best Bubble Head Nurse figure i ever seen, only one step behind of the Gecco ones just because the small scale and a little bit of lack of detail, but this girl is damn close to that level of quality. Again, the eteheral coloring that makes her shine in a ghostly way make this figure stand very nice and the metalic base and magnets are just way too much for the price. Its too bad Abstract Daddy dont looks this good but i am deffinetly getting Red Pyramid Thing once he is out.

BUBBLE HEAD NURSE

 I always say this but i found very odd how while Silent Hill was active there was 0 merch about it, unlike Resident Evil there wasnt eve a single artbook about Silent Hill or anything at all, it was just the games and the CD soundtracks and nothing else until Konami turned off the switch and sent Silent Hill to sleep, then we started to get a constant flow of merch about the series.

Theres super expensive statues now as well as Figma action figures, rubber ducks and Funko Pop soo it was weird to not have Nendroids at this point but now that changue but sadly, i think its not necesary to explain who they decided to a Nendroid....the only two characters that seems to exist for toy makers soo lets start with the Bubble Head Nurse.

She is actually a little bit shorter than the rest of my Nendroids tough she is of course in perfect scale with them and theres no way she can stand on her own with those super small feet in high heels soo the base is completelly basic and important here. This is one of the new Nendroids soo she is only half articulated and includes a ball joint on here neck that lets her move her head around up, down and to the sides but of course, it is limited thanks to the huge size of the head.

She have very basic shoulder articulations that lets her rotate her arms to the front and the bacl and nothing more, theres a cut in the biceps thats let her rotate them as well as the wrists and the waist and her two legs have small ball joints but they are a little bit limited thanks to her skirt soo to be honest, she dosnt have too many options for display and is kinda stiff.

Sculpt is very nice, of course theres no face here but only the shadow of basic shape of a small nose and two fins at the sides and the rest of the ehad have this soft velveth texture only cut by her cap on top. She have huge round boobs and i find that weird on a Nendroid but i got the feeling thats only because this is my only famel Nendroid. The wrinkles in her uniform are very basic and she is twisting her hips to her left side in a somwhow seductive way. 

Her legs are sculpted in a kind of odd angle but i guess thats intentional for this character and they are half bent, just like her arms and the tiny hands have gloves with only 3 fingers. The paint is basic but effective with her entire uniform painted in a little bit grey white with a darker grey airbrush on the center and end sections of the skirt to add some shadows. Her stockings are dark grey with her high heels completelly white and that makes this the remake version of the character while the skirt have some stains of blood but for some reason the blood is too dark and dont stand out too much.

Actually this girl looks too much black and white and the only color on her its on her skin, a very pale soft pink that almst blends with her uniform. The head is painted the same way but it also have this soft blue veins mixed with some darker marks that almost looks like soft burns, the mix makes a pretty odd result that makes her skin looks like a fleshy tumor soo it really is spot on.

She comes with the wrid red square thing on front of her mouth. Its been 25 years literally and i still dont understand wath this square is and why figure makers always adds it since its very rare to see them in game but Good Smile Company made it optional here by elongate the lower angle in a kind of hook shae that fits under the Nurse chin. It keeps the red square thingy levitating in front of her mouth nicelly and it stay in there tough removes it is very trciky since its a very small iece with the risk to be broken. This square is brigth crimson with some black pattherns that looks like marble and its the only thing that brokes the black and white palette of the figure.

As an extra parts to changue her pose she includes a rigth hand to hold her weapons and thats it....no bend arms or legs and no other hands, just a single hand thats easy to swap but it dooms her to be forever in a single pose....or not a single pose but limits the display options greatly.

Her weapons are a kitchen knife and an iron pipe. Both weapons fits into her extra hand and they are painted in metalic silver and golden. The knife is soo tiny it almost feels like a penknife and the pipe sculpts is very nice and detailed for such a small scale item.

Then theres the base, this time is the same base as the Bersek Armor Guts, with a missing hole in the center and the arm that holds the figure twisted backwards tough i have ni idea why since this girl has no cape to get in the way of the base tough aside of the visual difference, the base works perfect and theres no complaing here.

To be honest, this figure represents perfectly the purelly ornamental nature of Nendroids, this figure is to be posed once and leave on the shelf foerever and ever since theres no other things to do with her. She is really cool looking but not very fun to play with, not at the level of Arthur or Lycaon, she feels much more stiff and stale as Guts that only accesory is his sword.

I ordered Red Pyramid Thing as well and i am think he will be the same way, but oh well, i am sure together they will be a good display for the Silent Hill collection and yes...i got two Bubble Head Nurse, i always do for display propuses because i feel all alone by herself she would looks even more stale and boring.

ARTHUR

 Some videogames are designed with a certain time frame and gamers as theyr objective public and with this they made imposible to translate them into another time frame thanks to theyr design but somehow this kind of games are the ones that turn legendary and the most memorable as well. Splatterhouse comes to my mind but also Ghost ´n Goblins, one of Capcoms´s most succesfull game series that sparked a fantastic trilogy in the 80s arcades rooms as well as the Nintendo, Sega Genesis and SuperNes. Capcom wanted to bring this series back from the dead in the PSP with Ultimate Ghost ´n Goblins and many years later in the Swicth with Ghost ´n Goblins Resurrection but moderns games didnt care for the game punishing difficulty and simplistic design.

For me this is one of the games i remember the most from my childhood and while i never finish any of them, i loved the amazing art direction of the SuperNes game and i was really happy with Resurrection but Capcom didnt care for it too much anyway since it didnt had any kind of marketing or even a physical release but surprisingly, Good Smile Company released a Nendroid of Arthur in his Resurrection design.

Many years ago Sentinel released a couple of action figures based on Arthur and Red Arremer and i really regret not getting them but aside of those, this is pretty much the only Ghost ´n Goblins action figure in existance soo i had no choice but to get him.

Like all Nendroids this guy is really smal and in scale with the rest tough he is a little bit smaller than Von Lycaon and Klaus but he fits perfectly with them. He cant stand on his own soo he realy needs that anoying Nendroid base and given he is one of the "new" Nendos, he is only half articulated...

His neck have the traditional ball joint that let him move his huge head all around tough the beard get sin the way tough it is also articulated!!! The beard is conected to his helmeth sides soo you can move it down and it reveals his open mouth, a really awesome idea to not swap face plates. The shouldes have a basic cut articulation that lets them move only up and down and both the biceps and wrists rotate as well as his waist, and his legs also have the ball joints that let him move them up and down and to the sides.

Theres no articulation on the elbows, knees or feet at all but somehow, thanks to Arthur simple design and tiny size this limited articulation feels perfect for him and also makes him a really sturdy Nendroid. Its odd but this super deformed design fits the character orginal design really good and dosnt feel alien for him at all.

The armor is extremelly clean sculpted with the big round shouder pads and little skirt and while the legs section is a little bit more intrincate, the whole armor feels like that of a generic knigth from a cartoon. The huge front of the helmeth is spectacular and both the mustache and beard looks like made with milk caramel thanks to theyr velveth texture, soft sculp and soft brown color.

Arthut dont have the siny almost invisible anime nose of the other Nendroids, his nose is actually big and very human looking wich is odd but help him looks like a mature man instead of a kid cosplaying a man. His big blue eyes looks actually menacing for such a small warrior and dont look at all like the anime eyes this figures always have.

Rest of the figure is painted in a clean and super shiny silver that looks and feels damn good, while the hands are brown and theres small bits of black under his armor and his belt is brigth red, silver is the prominent color here deffinetly.

He comes loaded with a bunch of items. While theres no face plate at all, he comes with 2 pairs of hands and a half: closed fist, open palms and a left closed fist with a hole to insert his weapons. All hands can swap pretty easy with a peg and a hole in the arm.

He have a pair of bend arms. Yes....bend on the elbow since theres no articulation here soo he can be displayed withhis arms straight or bend (unlike Lycaon). This arms biceps rotate soo they can be adjusted to the side and they sawp very easy as well as each hand fits on them perfectly.

Arthur also have a second bottom half sculpted with his legs runing and the armor skirt moving in front. This bottom half can be swaped pretty easy and also comes with a pair of bend legs- again- in a running motion. They have theyr own ball joints soo they cna be rotated and adjusted but also they can be removed completelly and exchangued for the straight legs and mixed around to adjusts to your display necesitys.

As of weaponry Arthur comes with his trademark lance. This lance is very very generic and its quiet big, as tall as Arthur and is painted in the same silver as his armor and the handle is red. The handle can be removed soo it fits inside the hole in Arthur´s extra hand and this is bascially the main weapon of the characters.

As a secondary weapon it comes with a small and plain looking knife painted in silver, yellow and blue and almost looks 2D and my personal favorite item: a holy water bottle. The bottle is completelly round and it have a spectacular main of flames in top and best of all, its cast in transluscent ble plastic. While the bottle is shiny and brigth in an electric blue, the flames have a soft hue of ligther and paler blue.

This weapons comes with theyr own stand that consist on a round transluscent base with an articulated thin arm that ends in a clamp. This clamp holds onto the lance or knife handle and also fits perfectly into the neck of the holy water bottle and the arm can be adjusted in angle and heigh since it have a ball joint. This works soo perfectly to display Arthur throwing his weapons.

Another item included is a set of blue flames cast in transluscent blue with a hue of ligther blue on the base. This burt of flame in the floor is the result of the holy water and reminds me a lot Geral´s flames as well and lastly, theres a treasure chest as well. This chest looks veryc artoony and is painted in ligth brown with golden details and it can be opened but its totally empty soo i gues sit can be sued to store the figure smaller bits tough in the game this chest also contains dangerous warlocks soo i wish they added here a warlok acrilic standee or something like that but i guess thats ask too much given how many accesorys this little guy already have.

Oh and also theres the traditional Nendroid base full of holes, square shaped and with an articulated arm tough its a basic item since it helps Arthur stand still but also works wonderfull to pose him jumping in middle of the air.

Overall, despite all items included this fugure feels a little bit limited in the display options, he seems to only achive 3 poses: standing still, jumping and throwing stuff but actually, in the game thats rpetty much everything Arthur does; stand still, jum and throw stuff soo somehow this fits the character perfectly.

And actually, with soo many hands and arms and legs options its actually posible to achive a few functional poses with just a little bit of cretivity mixing the parts. Honestly this is one of my favorite Nendroids in my collection (just like Lycaon) and is not only fun to pay with but also it makes one of my dreams come true to have a Ghosts ´n Goblins action figure in my collection, somethign i doubt it happens never again.

GUTS BERSERK ARMOR

 Not too long ago i formed an small Nendroid collection until Good Smile Company started to up the price at crazy jumps and turning them into one of the most overpriced toys in the market, just like Figmas and the way Square Enix did with Play Arts Kai as well. Medicom Toys too soo this is a trend of the japanese market it seems.....but anyway, years ago when Nendroids were sold in a fair price they were pretty cute and fun collectibles, imposible to take serious but with a strong japanese charm.

Sadly, as much as i could resist i could no longer do it and here i am, with Nendroids on my hands thanks to hard to resist characters, like Arthur and Von Lycaon but one of them being Guts from Berserk too. A couple of years ago i got the Guts Nendroid and while i was able to ignore Griffith, i could no longer ignore Guts on his Berserk armor, the newest addition to the collection.

This guy is on the same scale as the rest of the Nendroids tough somehow he is a liiiiiitle bit smaller to normal Guts without the spiky hair and this is one of those Nendroids that can stand on theyr own thanks to his black cape that works like a tripod.

As part of the new style Nendroids, this guy is not fully articulated but most of the possing comes from swaping different static body parts soo, to start he have the traditional ball joint on his neck that lets him move his huge head up and down and to the sides tough this time around the head movement is limited thanks to the helmeth and cape in the back but, just like Arthut, Guts is articulated on the jaw soo he can open up his mouth a whole lot but this also makes it get in the way of the cape.

The cape have a small ball joint that i hope is resistant enough and have a huge range of movement while the shoulders have a basic cut joints that lets the arms rise but not open them up, while the biceps rotate and the wrists too and lastly, the legs have ball joints that lets them move around up and down and open up.  Theres no more movement on his legs and his elbows dont bend at all.

Sculpt here is terrific, with his body shape being bulky and each section of the armor being carefully sculpted, inlcuding the bolts that hold some segments, and the cape looking all shapeless and ragged in a very sinister way. This cape is not articulated like the normal Guts one but is sure is bigger and the texture on it much more elaborate to make it looks almost like smoke or fur.

Head is good, with the geometrical shapes looking good and the long pointy snouth and long ears tough of course theres no face expression or details here, only the wolf helmeth. The jaw opens up and reveales a big amounth of nothing inside, just a wall of darknes with the same etxture as the cape. This really gives the little guy a very inhuman feel since theres no one inside....tough once fully open the black mass inside is shaped like a head.....

The paint here is black....i mean, plain black. The inside of the helmeth as well as the cape and the sections on his upper legs are all dark black while the rest of the figure is metalic black. The paint shines tough not as much as Arthur armor but its enough ti catch the ligth and shines in different greys. The only color here is the red on the eyes, tough for some reason his left eye is brigth red while the rigth one is very very dark. I have no idea why they do this.

The accesorys are very very low tough, just the same as the first Guts: only a pair of open hands and a closed rigth hand to hold his sword and a left hand open to use the arm canon. The open hand is cute and odd, i mean the armor hand is open up while the face hand is open down soo it looks like two hands opening as a flower. All hands can be swaped very easy.

Then theres two bend arms that can be swaped on the biceps area soo Guts can hold his sword on his shoulder (or make it looks like he is doing it because his head wont allow) while having his other arm straigth to shot the canon. I dunno, this is a matter of mix and match but honestly, its very difficult sometimes to discenr wich arm is wich given how similar they are.

They also include two whole extra arms sculpted in a way to join in the chest area, soo he can hold the sword with both hands. This is a great idea because theres no other way h can hold his sword like he should (like Figma....) tough the hands cant rotate, the arms a a whole piece of plastic and that helps to keep the sword steady.

Guts also have a pair of extra legs with the knees bend as well as his rigth feet, soo he can be close to the fround or posed walking, or jumping as well. The little legs are super cute and looks good tough changue them is kind of tricky, each comes with theyr own ball joint and they move nicelly.

And aside of this extra body parts, the only real item for him to hold is his giant sword. The sword is pretty much the same as the other Guts but this one is spalttered in blood. Tough the blood dont stand out too much against the metalic paint of the blade, it looks really good and the handle can be removed to put the sword on the extra hands holes.

Finally, theres the basic Nendroid base tough this time is missing a hole in the center, soo the arm can be put only on the sides soo Guts its always at the center of the square and i have no idea why they made this changue tough i can see why they changued the arm. This time the arm have its circular shape backwards, twisted to the inside instead the outside, soo the camr can be inserted on the back of Guts without moving the cape up. Very clever and very confortable.

Honestly tough i dont find this Nendroid particulary fun to play with or to look at...while Lycaon is very pasive he have a lot of items to pose with and Arthur also have a lot of weapons to interact and both have a whole lot of details too look at, but this guy have his sword to hold and pretty much nothing more and while the sculpt is detailed its pretty dificult to see them because this is just a black mass of balckness, theres only black hiere with the red eyes and thats cool but dont works too good in such small scale.

Tough all this is not Good Smile Comapany´s fault but Kentao Miura´s faolt for his design. Yes, the Berserk armor looks super cool but its really not specially interesting to look at, honestly i always find the basic Guts much more interesting as a design just because of all the knifes, belts and exposed skin, not to mention the face expression and details.

Now that i skiped Griffith i am sure i will do the same with Femto but i am just collecting the characters i like, after all this things are not cheap at all.

VON LYCAON

 Last time i say the Apex Toys Von Lycan figure was my second Zenless Zone Zero official item, well this is my first one: the Von Lycaon Nendroid. Many years ago, before the pandemic, i used to buy a lot of Nendroids and i formed quiet a collection with my favorite characters but my clumsy sausage fingers had problems adapting to such tiny mini figurines and Good Smile company prices were the last nail on the coffin, making them the most overpriced toys on the market and i stoped buying them completelly.

But for some reason, Good Smile has been doing a ridiculous amount of Zenless Zone Zero characters on Nendroid form (and only the main characters as Pop Up Parade) and eventually they arrive to Lycan and of coure, i had to go back to collect Nendroids thanks to him.

This little guy feel kinda bigger than the rest tough its thanks to a convination of his body looking too bulky and his long ears but he is pretty much the same scale as the rest of the Nendroids and the good news is he can actually stand on his own using his tail as a tripod, something very unusual for this line but that makes him very confortable to play with.

This is a brand new Nendroid released a couple of months ago soo his articulations are...odd. He have the usually big ball joint on his neck that let him moves it around nicelly tough  limited by the hair sculpt and theres also a ball joint on his tail that lates him move it with much more freedom. He have basic cut shoulders that let him move his arms up and down but not open them, a basic cut joint on his biceps that let him rotate his arms and cut articulation on his wrists.

He have ball joints on his legs but they are pretty useless since they barelly move but thats all, theres no knee articulation or elbow or waist articulation soo he cant move his legs or have his arms straigth at all, his arms are perpectually bend and thats very strange given this is a combat character that use a lot his legs just like ChunLi.

Soo this is an action figure with very limited articulations that lets you pose in a few ways but you needs to be creative because all the posing is done by swaping parts and accesorys, not actually moving the character around soo he feels kinda like a 3D puzzle.

Sculpt is very nice, again, the snout have the perfect size and while the bangs on the front are not as stylish as in the Apex version they follow the design perfectly. The ears are huge but round at the tip, just like the spiky hair on his back, everything here is round and cute, theres no edges at all and unlike the Apex version, all the belts are part of the central sculpt.

The body is muscly and bulky in the same way as the Klaus Von Reinherz Nendroid, the buttons on the front of the vest, the scarf, the pocket clock on his chest, all details are there as well as the metalic parts on his hips, ass and back side. The hairy arms looks good as well as the big tail that, while not as impresive as the Apex one, is deffinetly more usefull but the most intrincate sculpt is on the prostetic legs. They are a miniatirized and simplified version but they still looks damn good.

Legs are all metalic black and only have the orange lines in front while his suit is plain grey and the shirt, tail and entire hairy bits are plain white, theres no airbrush or shadows here, every thing is a single color clean but i guess thats good in this tiny scale tough all details are clean painted, like the golden chain of the clock on his chest, his carimson scarf, the little sitches on hhis vest as well as the golden knockles on his gloves.

The black tips on the hair and the ears are still here and the mouth is both sculpted and painted with a black line and the red anime eye stands out a lot thanks to its big size.

He comes with 3 pairs of hands as well as a single extra left hand: a "relaxed" pair of hands, another pair with fingers possed to hold a cup and a plate, another pair with a left hand with a hole on the palm to hold a portait and a rigth hand pointing and a single open left hand with a square shaped peg in the center. Of course all htis little hands are easy to swap and are designed to hold extremelly specific items.

He also have 3 face plates; one with his basic stoic face expression, another one with a very subtle smile and another one with a perplexed face expression (his eyes wide open and his mouth smaller). All this face plates are very easy to swap once the front hair is removed and is quiet tricky find the differences with each other but it cant be helped, Von Lycaon is not a very expressive character.

Aside of the extra parts he comes with a dinner plate with a silver cover. I am not sure how to call this item but somehow it resembles a hotel bell, but its a plate with the dinner inside. Its painted on silver and shines a lot and includes a square shapped hole under it to use it with the specific hand and once on it, not power can mae this item to fall from his hand.

Theres also a cup of tea and a plate. They are very elegant, very cimple and the cup have actually brown tea inside and while theres specific hands to hold bot items, they are much more delicate and easy to lose than the dinner plate.

The second best accesory here is Corin´s borthday gift, a Von Lycaon postrait painted by her. The artwork is really adorable with a cartoony and super cute Lycaon with his tongue out. The print is super clean and and it have a long peg that fits on the left hand with a hole on the palm. This item is designed to be used with the pointing finger hand as well as the perplexed face plate to recreate a scene we only hear in the game.

And lastly, the best accesory is by far, Eus, the little Bangboo that works as main control drone of the proxys. This character is essential in the game and here is soo soo incrediblly tiny and yet, the sculot is spot on and the perfect too, with his orange scarf with the 01 printed on it, its green eyes and tail and the big pointy rabbit ears, as small as he is this count as a character of its own in this package.

Little Eus have a hole on his back as well as an articulated circular arm with a ball on its end side to fit him. Once there he can be adjusted to the sides and eigth soo he can be jumping around Lycaon or even sit on his shoulders, or even sit on the floor without the base.

Also the figure includes the same base as all Nendroids, the transluscent square shaped plataform full of holes and an articulated arm with a peg to fit on Lycaon back. Its kinda anoying but i guess it does its job nicelly.

Given the character nature it puzzles me they didnt included anything combat related, like effect or fierce face expressions of ice effects but instead only gives Lycaon pasive pose options but aside of that this is deffinetly one of my favorite Nendroids given how different he looks to the rest and how sturdy he is, that along side the inclusion of Eus make this guy the oonly ZZZ Nendroid i am interested to get until they release Ben Biggers of course.
