Recieved my Bludgeon from pulse yesterday
I gotta say, i was a bit iffy but I liked his vibe enough to go in on him anyway, and I'm really glad I did. What a fun fucking toy.
Positives: ankles tilt forward thank fuck, they always forget that. Transformation joint gives knees double bend. Great hip range. I love the bits of orange transparent plastic sprinkled throughout, they really pop. Head looks great and the transformation hinge gives him a good upward looking range. The inward transformation hinge on the biceps allows nice rounded arm postures rather than a stiff straight down. Can hold sword in both hands. Sculpting on sword is really cool. Solid feeling plastic. Really well balanced and streamlined physique overall. Hes just fun to pose around, a lot like jhiaxus he just naturally leans into action figure over being an awkward kibble mess.
Negatives: ankle tilt is a little limited, its great to have such deep front and back but side to side is very slight. Would have been cool to have the knee spike on a hinge to cover the knee area when posing. Would have loved an ab crunch, its one of the few joints hes missing. Shoulders look silly once you go past about 45 outward. The lack of a double jointed elbow sucks. The one joint that hurts more that anything is lack of wrist tilt, the swivel is nice and i love the open palm claws, but for a swordsman you really need that downward wrist tilt. Would have been cool to see a remolded chest but im fine. The chest loves to pop off though so on a clear plastic part that concerns me. The tank turret never looks good. I love the clear plastic barrels but the base piece kinda flops around no matter where you put it and it sticks out too much both on the back and the arms.
