Its been a long time since last entry but it wasnt because of Santa taking his time delivering the christmas toys in time, it is because all the toy brands decided to release all the pre-orders of the year in this months soo now, aside of being completelly broke, i am full of new figures to show in here!!
Lets begin with Dead Space! I love Dead Space way too much tough there never was too much merch related to the series, with the release of the remake two years ago (!!!) Good Smile Comapany released a Figma of Issac Clarke as well as a Pop Up pParde statue and since the price of the Figma´s is honetly way beyond of any logical thinking, i decided to pick the Pop Up Parade statue since it was almost 1/3 cheaper.
This is a statue soo theres no artoculation at all (tough i am sure the molds are the same of the Figma) and while this guy can stand on his own perfectly, he comes with a black circular base that is very simple and elegant looking but it does the job perfectly fine.
One think i dislike of this figure is the size....this guy is soo tiny, i mean even comapred to the other Pop Up Parde i have, this Issac looks child size compared to them and i think is exactly the same scale as the Figma. Soo is basically a statis Figma (or FigFIX) and i deffinetly wasnt expecting that...the price dosnt looks that atractive anymore.
Aside of scale issue, the sculpt is really good. The pose is very simple with him walking carefully at front while turning around. The detaiñing on his suit is really fantastic with all the wrinkles and sculpted details on the clothe section and all the metalic sections on top matching those of the game. Tough his knee pads as well as the screen on his chest feels like softich plastic, the whle figure is pretty sturdy.
Even his boots soles are sculpted and painted with a rusty color with a black wash. The boots and the chest plates and back plates, the armor on the arms as well as the helmeth are painted in a golden color with a lot of rust and black effects to make it looks like old ancient metal with the 3 lines of the face painted in bright baby blue to make it stand.
The stasis module on his hand as well as the life meter in the back are painte in baby blue, tough the life meter on his back is just a blue plastic rod and dosnt have any of the zig zag pattern it should have. His clothes under the armor also have a very old looks with a lot o dark wash to give deep to the wrinkles and all details, tough his shirt is painted in grey while in the game is much more darker than this.
In the end the shirt and the metalic parts dosnt mix too much color wise soo this makes it looks like he have more armor than expected, but is just a discrepancy on color. The pants tough have the rigth dark tones of blue and brown soo they looks much better.
His only accesory: his weapon, i removable and while it dosnt have any articulations and is missing the mobile parts, the overall sculpt is good as well as the metalic paint and yellow details, tough it looks a little simplifyed from a closer look.
Theres not much to say about this figure tough, despite having a very good sculpt and mostly a good paint, the size dosnt makes it stand out too much. I think this figure would been perfect as part of a Collectors Edition of the game since is in the perfect scale for that kind of figures.
Good thing tough, this is pretty much the Figma but static, soo that means i dont need the Figma anymore but that dosnt mean i dont want any more Issac Clarke figures! I just dont want figures with that price tag.
