GERALT OF RIVIA

I admit i have yet to play The Witcher 3 game, i already own it but i didnt had the time to play such long game, but that dosnt stop me to buy merchadise of the series already, like artboks, the novels and soundtrack and i must say i like a lot the world build around Geralt AND i really really like Geralt as well. I usually dont like men with white long hair, like Raiden or Sephirot but Geralt is extremelly different to those two.

I am also not specially interested on Nendroids either, tough i already have a small ecollection of them, i find them much much better than Funko Pops but still, theyr mall size gives me a lot of difficultys.

But this Nendroid was of Geralt was specially cute soo i could not resist. He is in the same scale as the other Nendo and have great artoculations. Some of this little guys have non-articulated arms and legs but this one in specific have articulations on his elbows, knes and anckles. Is fun to pose him around nd even his shouldepads have movement to help him rise his arms, but.....my big and stupid fingers have a lot of troubles doing it and i always end up removing one of his limbs by accident. Sepaking of wich, his torso articulation is specially lose and keeps missing his lower half extremelly easy.

I guess is not the fault of the figure to be soo hard to manipulate, this things are designed mostly as miniature. Aside of the technical problems with the size, the sculpt and paint are exquisite and very clean; the cute little wolf medallion on his chest, the brown leather, the chainmail of his armour, his belt, everything is beautifully sculpted and theres not a single mistake on the paint.

His face is very animesque but his eyes looks fierce with the yellow cat pupils, the sars and i love his beard as well, is fun to see such childish figure to have a beard that is not only painted, but is sculpted as well.

He cant stand on his own but comes with the traditional Nendroid base with an articulated arm, tough install hi on the base is not an easy task. He have a two parts scabbard on his back and this thig have two pegs, one to attach it to Geralt´s back and another at the opposite side to attach it to the base but it dosnt matter how you press, the figure always comes out of the peg and i am afraid i my broke one of the two oegs eventually.

Actually, the scabbard ahso have a small crossbow that cant be removed, but given his size and the possition it is, while i was moving Geralts head for the first time, his hair fot stuck on the crossbow leg and broke it...and this is way this will be probablly one of my last Nendroids. They are very cute and fun but i keep broking them over and over again (and they are hellish to clean as well).

Aside of the scabbard, Geralt´s other accesoryes are his two swords, a metalic one for humans and a silver one for monsters. Both have totally different sculpts and fit perfectly on the scabbard. He also have a pait of relaxed hands and a pair of gripping hands to hold the swords. Also an extra little hand hilding a deck of cards. This one is my favorite since it gives a lot of personality to the figure and the cards can be removed (i will be carefull not to lose them!!).

He have an extra face that can be exchanged easy, with the fierce growl on his mouth and the veins on his face when he transforms and also theres a "piece" of transluscent fire that can be placed in front of him to pose him firing this fire magic or just put him on by his foot to give him a dramatic and fierce look.

The last accesory is deffinetly the best and why i get this figure. He also have an extra body on his bathtub to react the sexy scene of the game. The bathtube can be attached to the base with a removable peg or be displayed alone, you just need to remove Geralt´s head from his body and attach it to the bathtube and there it is, probablly the cutest thing Good Smile could come out with.

The paint of the bathtub is very simple tough, is just brown and the water is not transluscent or anything, it only have some blue hues and the tiny and cute feet and arms coming out from it.

This guy is very hard to handle thanks to his size and even with the breaking issues of his crossbow, i have to admit this is a very cool little figure and i am glad i got it.
