BUZZTOYS - The White Wolf - 1/6 Geralt (Netflix)

[JorjeCroft]

Listed issues sound like basic stuff. Missing buttons isn't cool, but not end of the day. Sculpts look well painted on the production/released pics we have seen. Basically same as proto. Head just needs to be pulled out to make neck visible... most of the figures arrive with no neck lol pants have never been advertised as a leather and I had no idea it was coming with a stand at all lol so that's a good thing. Stand wasn't included in the promotional images. I wouldn't judge a product based on someone's camera feed. I can tell from the images that materials they used are high quality. Don't even need to touch it to tell that. I don't try to be protective bc that's my fav character, but still listed reasons don't sound dramatic enough for lowering my expectations.
P.S. shoulder armour parts just needs some repositioning. I'm sure it moves.

Ah, drama isn't over yet!

 

[JorjeCroft]

Well especially if that's friend of yours, ask them to share their images lol

Picture from bigbreda81 over on IG. I think it looks fantastic! So it does look like buttons are missing. I’m not sure if this is Nine Inch Nails friend but personally not a big issue to me. Looks like he’s shooting Aard into orbit lol

I'm guessing it's BigBreda who shared those images and will be posting his review soon.

I can't help much since I had nothing to do with it's development but some of those issues seem a bit out there?
The sculpt is far from soft they actually increased the sharpness of it so much his stubble is protruding now which is a change I didn't really like since he is mostly clean shaven when wearing this armor, his hair was also changed to add more volume and details up top.

The collar covering his neck is a matter of futzing, I think it will probably move up if you try to raise his arms up but the neck will still be visible to some extent, I do think it is too wide tho possibly to avoid staining the neck by constant contact. The shoulder pads look just like the prototype I assume you mean they look horrible when you try more dynamic poses and they lift up?

None of this figure was advertised as having real leather and it was announced before InArt and other companies came onto the scene with real leather, BuzzToys is a new company who never produced a full figure, they can't afford the costs of real leather, as far as the buttons that was a worry of mine too but if he didn't find them in the box then it's most likely a QC oversight by a factory worker, thankfully there is a small bag included with extra buttons I'm sure.

The base wasn't included in the original prototype, it seems to me like the factory just provided a really cheap one for this release so people didn't complain about a lack of a base I probably won't have him on a base anyway. LIM bodies can be produced with either tight or loose joints, I'm guessing BuzzToys decided for loose joints but I honestly can't say since I like I said, I didn't develop this figure and neither did LIM, LIM provided the body and assisted Buzz and is handling all the shipping and retailers, that's it.

In any case from all the pictures and videos I've seen myself it looks pretty much exactly like the prototype which is a great feat for a starting company, I look forward to getting him and hope it has no issues, I will be displaying him the cloak.

 

[dantes2501]

Honestly, this looks great.

 

[JorjeCroft]

He looks so good my heart moves whenever I see him. Definitely gonna hug once I get him I know I'm weird but got TOY STORY trauma as a kid and never recovered lol

 

[thicc badger]

As someone who’s favorite character in fiction is Geralt & who’s poured an ungodly amount of money into a set of armor to cosplay this character in so damn excited to stare at him for hours

 

[RandomHero]

Those pictures R_R_X posted are incredible. The delays were clearly worth it. I'm glad time and attention went into this figure. Can't wait to see it when it arrives.

 

[davejames]

Damn, this figure suddenly looks about a thousand times cooler once you put that cloak on. I was on the edge of cancelling all week, but after seeing the pic above I just had to pull the trigger.

That skin tone still looks way too tan to me though, so probably going to need to lighten that up or just do a full repaint (along with rehairing I guess).

 

[The Iron Koob]

Off topic but I just finished this digital painting based on this version of Geralt. I threw some Witcher 3 inspiration in there. Thought you guys might like it.

Here’s to finally getting this figure!

 

[FlanginHam]

Is this figure worth getting or is there a better version from another company?

 

[nikgrid]

Shipped from GiantToy!
Awesome! I've already 3d Printed a Roach for him.

[dantes2501]

Need that review!

 

[thicc badger]

So if our Geralts come without his pant buttons on him how will we attach the spare ones that come with him?

TNS has shipped my Geralt! Very excited to see how this looks.

First collector unboxing pics, man it's gonna suck having this on the shelf knowing what a massive disappointment the show turned out to be, might put him next to Rick Grimes for the "amazing protagonist, disappointing show" duo.
