Dante
The
original release of Dante is still my favorite... so
far. Okay, so a lot of collectors insist he has plenty
of "problem", but I call them whiners.
Pristine. Unopened. acquired
from a friend because I just damn well couldn't resist a
figure that I'd been looking for (and not finding, even on
Ebay) on and off for years. So clearly, that packaging
needed to be shredded.
I find that a little hard to whine about,
what can I say. Yes, his seams show, boo hoo.
They're not garish. Ebony and Ivory are absolutely
gorgeous, and Rebellion looks kick-ass.
See? Awesome yum. I suppose my only complaint is the fact that I can't really call it an action figure since there is a distinct lack of action... there's rotation in the arms, waist and head. Normally that would cause me to complain. Considering how much I love this figure, though, I am not going to. I have learned to accept the barely articulated. I am a better person for it.
Like I said, Rebellion is kick-ass. And the seams are totally ignorable due to this kick-ass-ness.

While the face doesn't exactly scream "Dante" to me from this angle, it is admittedly a little hard to transfer those graphics to action figure form. (I am not complaining about PS1 graphics. I am not a graphics whore, like some.) However, he does look damn sure of himself, so whatever. And check this out:
ACCURATE ENOUGH EYE COLOR TO COUNT.
This feels like a triumph.
