Slavic Warrior Review

So when this guy was announced back in the spring, several other one sixth collectors told me about it, including our very own londonroadhog.

I wanted to do a short review, even though I'm sure he wouldn't be super popular in terms of what is typically the trend at MWD.

All in all, it's a cool looking figure, but far from perfect.



The figure poses okay, he looks better in casual civilian posses rather than action poses.

For several reasons, the trigger hands are super loose, the body leaves alot to be desired and honestly the old head style, with a moulded neck is reminiscent of early 2000's Dragon figures.





The gear is pretty cool, nice detail, but fragile. This has reminded me of why I actually don't like buying expensive military figures with tons of fragile gear. The main rifle feels very breakable, the bump pad on the stock fell off several times. Basically this whole set would benefit from model glue.





It seems Very Cool is doing these collectors cards now. I don't recall my Miss Spetsnaz doll coming with one.



He cannot squat unassisted. Not very Slavic.. I suspect he's western spy.





At least he can sit like the box shows if using a chair.





Last but not least, he looks like Thor.



It's not a bad figure, but he could be better, especially for the price point.

Dave has also elsewhere mentioned the "fragility" of some new releases.
Are they strictly for static display now?

Nice figure Sarah, I really like his sculpt! the custom adidas helmet is a nice touch too .

I mean, the guns and gear feel fragile, but maybe that was the wrong wording. It's more like, the rifle could do with a few dibs and dabs of model glue. The clothing seems robust.
My biggest gripes, the old school style headaculpt, the big loose hands, and a body that is similar in proportion to the old BBi bodies.

Thanks Dal! The clothing and accessories are definitely the best parts of the figure.

Thanks Sarah for showing us your review on Slavic Warrior. The The clothing and accessories have that up to date burglar look about them if that makes sense . I’m liking how you have shown off the Slavic Warrior set in your photos with different poses.

Never seen this guy before, I think he does look European/Slavi and he looks VERY COOL

It can't squat!! Send it back for a full refund as it obviously breeches numerous trade description laws!

Although as Dal says the custom helmet is pretty cool....Tri poloski Adidas!!
