I forgot I had bought this Andre.
He wasn't as gigantic as I had hoped, but he is big... sadly, the only Andre available was the piss yellow briefs and not the iconic black leotard Andre... It's Andre the Giant... what can I say about him. Well, other than Macfarlane and Mattel, making the Andre the Giant versions that I desired the most. Sadly, I was unable to get any of those... scalpers are cray-cray to think I'll pay over $50 for a $20 figure.
Articulation
Andre has standard Ultimates articulation. This is a hindrance for wrestling figures, as they need double joints for wrestling moves. Now for non-fighting displays, this Andre works.
4.5
Paint and sculpt:
He has some shaded details, which seems a tad odd for Ultimates. It reduces some of the waxiness on the figure. Ironically, the waxiness that is detrimental to other figures. It's beneficial here. As it makes it look like he's glistening in sweat. For an Ultimates, it has some decent Andre likeness. It's not the best likeness of Andre, but it's serviceable enough...
4.5
Accessories:
Extra head
Extra hands

| Nick: I thought you'd be bigger. You ARE Andre THE GIANT, Not Andre the slightlytaller than average. Andre: I thought you weren't a whiny little bitch. |
While I would like to have additional hands or different expressions. What we have is serviceable enough.
4.5

| GG: I'M FIGHTING ANDRE THE GIANT!! YOU'RE A LOT SMALLER THAN ON THE TV! Nick (VO): I told you he was smaller than expected! GG and Andre: Shut Up, Little bitch! |
Overall:
Andre gets a 4.5 as his final score. It's really a decent figure, but it's not a great figure.It's serviceable enough.
