User blog:Aegis Runestone/My Ezio Figure...
Yeah, I know what you're thinking: Aegis is obsessed with Assassin's Creed.
It's true. I am. I will not fight that statement. :)
But I wanted to show him off because, well, this is apparently the first good action figure that NECA has made of the AC Assassins. They first made Altair, who was apparently a disaster. Then, they made AC2 Ezio. I read some horrible reviews on him, and decided to avoid him.
The Brotherhood Ezio has 5/5 star reviews. So, I bought one just to see what he was like.
He's pretty cool. If I were still a kid (and sometimes, I feel like I am), I would have loved a toy like this. Why? Because he's so flexible--for an action figure that is. He's got a lot of moveable joints, so you can make a lot of different poses for him.
Anyway, I sound like I'm advertising here, but I'm not trying to. He's just cool.
Now, I've always wanted a standing figure of AC2 Ezio. However, those small statues only came with the Limited Edition of AC2 (which costs more than an arm and a leg, and I already own AC2--not worth it), so they are very rare. And if they are on eBay, they are too expensive.
I used to have fixed positioned Final Fantasy figures, but I got bored of them, and sold them on eBay.
So, why did I buy this action figure? Because I can change his pose whenever I feel like the current one has gone stale.
One thing... he's a bit difficult to balance, so I can't make all the cool poses I want, but I'm sure, with some creativity, that I can make some interesting poses of him.
Anyway, what do you think? Besides the fact that I'm obsessed. :P
