Voldo
Yes, I'm
likely to
choose Voldo 98% of the time. (Taki the other 2%.)
He's
just so damn freaky.
Though
I do admit I prefer him from Soul
Blade. In fact, I prefer Soul
Blade altogether above any of the sequels, but I
could just be
weird that way. Didn't stop me from finally picking up
this
little nightmare.
Mint figure + damaged box = incredible savings, so I snapped
him
up. After all, fuck the box. (Not literally.
For
various reasons. One being the insane amount of twist
ties
holding him in place, geez. Though... Voldo really should be restrained...)
And there he is in all of his... er... "glory". It passes for glory, I think. Somehow he's not as creepy as I'd hoped, but like I said, I prefer his first model. Anyway. This is a McFarlane figure, and so the paint and detail are pretty damn good. The fact that I got him out of the package and didn't bend or break anything must mean they've improved somewhat. Or I was somehow more careful. Whatever.

But, again, this is a McFarlane figure. So
articulation is
pretty much nonexistent. There's a little bit in
his arms.
And neck. And waist. And left hand.
...Yep. Not
to mention the waist joint makes it look like he's got
a pretty brutal
injury there, but... if you're familiar with Voldo,
this won't phase
you at all. Still, wonderful detailing and it's
unquestionably Voldo,
who I enjoy enough to have
bought this figure in the first place.
One thing to note (which amused me) is that the display base rotates thanks to a little slider on the side. So Voldo can put on a little fashion show for you. See, the nightmares never end!

Creepiness and detail don't stop at the
front! Which... sounds
creepy in itself, but nevermind. Especially
now that I'm looking
at the back. That can't be
comfortable. Not that the guy's
about comfort.
