I just have an hyperfixation over Endeavor, i love him, way too much....i mean, aside of the 4...i mean 5 very good reasons to love him, i find his character design to be completelly amazing and fitting perfectly for action figures and such merch and Bandai Spirits and Banpresto has been doing an amazing jov in the last years releasing prize statues of the character and the rest of the cast at an extremelly low price.
With the title "Ichibankuji - My Hero Academia: Hero vs Villians" this is figures "D" Endeavor with the rest of the collection consisting on Bakugo, Midoriya, Shoto, Hawks, Dabi, Himiko and Shigaraki and every single one of them looking really good with poses full of movement and ligthing and other elemental effects, my interest is focused only to Enji Todoroki.
This figure is in the same scale as the last Endeavor i review in here - tittled Ichibankuji The Top 5 Number 1 Hero - and it gives me the feeling both are sculpted by the same person since they are basically the same figure but in a different pose. A little bit taller than your average action figure, the perfect size to have a presence in the shelf but not big enough to not have room for it.
He can stand on his own perfectly tough given the pose is better to use the included base just to be extra safe with him. The base is a half donut shaped plastic made with transluscent material that fits on his rigth feet, just like his brother figure and the HUGE Master Lise one, the base works perfect and is really discrete.
This is a statue soo no articulated parts and this is actually a whole complete piece soo it dosnt need any assemble. While the other piece have an static pose with him arms crossed in a very stoic and manly way, this one shows Endeavor ready for action, legs open with his flames in an explosjon of combustion and shapped almost like wings, expeling all his power in a fierce roar.
The sculpt is really really good, all the musculature have that heroic shapes comic book characters always have, with every muscle perfectly shapped under his outfir and while theres a lot of natural wrinkles on the front, theres not much of a bulgue in here sadly....tough the ass compensate that as well as those magnificent and godly pecs.
One of the reasons i love this character soo much is the fire, this time havong a pretty clean sculpt with not much detail, the fire curls in a pretty unrealistic and stylish way that makes it look more like some kind of liquid and it helps a lot to make this figure looks much bigger than it really is and completelly cast on transluscent red plastic, the effect with a little bit of ligth is really spectacular.
All the lines and details on his uniform are sculpted and the wrinkles on it as well as the boots looks really natural and also i am starting to like the big shoulder pads as well. I love his face, looks really good and really stylish and the sculpt on the teeth is great as well as the spiky hair.
The hair is sculpted on brownish plastic while the head is sculpted on skin colored plastic and each piece is sculpted on the dominant color and that gives them a pretty clean look that fit an animated character. The white of the teeth and the pink on the tongue and inside of the mouth are perfect but perhaps the best paint comes on his eyes and scar having a lineart in black to make him look animated. The blue fierce eyes are really amazing here and even his beard and mustache are painted!!
The shoulder pads and arms armor are painted in metalic silver while the boots have a vibrant orange that is also on his uniform along some red lines, but i got the feeling the blue on his uniform is a little too dark....looks almost black and dosnt show too many panited details (unlike the cross arm figure that have a lot of tones to high litght the musculature).
The flames have some soft yellow on them and some vibrant crimson on each point but they are mostly clean to leave the ligth travel tought the trabsluscent material and this time around, the flame mask dosnt hidee his eyes as much as the last time either and i specially like the movement of his beard, flowing to the side to give space to his huge pecs.
I been seeing this figure for years and for years i was pretty close to buy him but gladlly i wait and with the help of my amazing boyfriend i was able to buy this guy ate a very very VEEEERRRRYYY low price at AmiAmi. Maybe this is why i like this figure that much...this Endeavor is soo good clooking, such ana amzing sculpt, pose and paint job and yet the price was almost for free.
Really, this was literally 1/4 a Nendroid.....this character not only have some of the best figures put there but also is very affordable and this particular figure is one of my favorite of him since this showcase the character perfectly and makes me want to get more of him.
