But this is not your run of the mill Mattel WWE figure... I've turned Japanese and got myself a Figuarts The Rock...
Do I need to explain Dwayne Johnson's look-alike?
So, let's see how he stacks up against the Mattel version from the Nation of Domination set.
Articulation:
Here Bandai makes Mattel their bitch. The Rock is putting the super in super Articulated. The only gripes I have with the Articulation is that some joints aren't pleasing to the eyes, and that the ab Articulation for bending forward is a bit limited.
5.0
Paint and Sculpt:
The figure is tiny compared to Mattel's, but it looks like they scanned The Rock's face (circa the time he was on Hannah Montana) and made a digital replica for the mold, while Mattel's looks like an Artist's rendition of The Rock during the attitude era. Paint wise, The Figuarts Rock looks great, even the old Brahma Bull tat looks better than Mattel's tampos. I have a slight issue with his skin tone, it's a bit too light compared to the Mattel version.
5.0
Accessories:
The Rock has...
3 extra heads
Microphone so he can ask you if you smell...
8 extra hands.
For a Figuarts figure he seems to be lacking. His box is so tiny, but compared to the other one, he has tons of stuff. I wish he had come with a bare arm and a hand holding an elbow pad.
Overall:
It's easy to see how The Great One got a Flawless score of 5.0 because he IS that good. The positives easily outweigh the negatives. I guess he's better paired up with other Figuarts wrestling figures. Kinda wish we had figures from the Federation era...
And yes, I'm talking about THAT MAN.
