Review: Hot Toys Toy Fair Exclusive FN-2187
Today, we have a quick review of the Hot Toys Toy Fair Exclusive FN-2187 and this figure is amazing: it looks better in hand then in photos.
In the high resolution photos, you can see the beads of sweat Hot Toys added. Overall I gave this figure a 4.5 out of 5 stars.
Box: 5
Artwork: 5
Head Sculpt: 5
Armor build quality: 5
Weathering: 3 (in the movie his armor was a lot dirtier)
Helmet Build: 5
Helmet Paint: 4 (not as accurate as the movie)
Weapons: 5
Mobility: 3 (posing is quite difficult)
Sturdiness: 1 (could not stand without base stand)
Hot Toys Stand: 5
Regardless of the flaws, I absolutely love this figure. If you can find one I suggest getting one.
You can still pick this up via ebay at this link.
