Hey everybody Happy Halloween! I decided I'll treat you all to a short review of Neca's Resident Evil Tyrant figure. One thing I'll say right of the back is he is like 10 inches tall, and looks very accurate to the videogame. Some people on the internet review Freddy, Jason or Michael Myers, but I decided to stick with a video game theme to conclude this month. Maybe next year I'll do some well known slasher genre characters, but let me get started on this review first.
Tyrant stands at nine and a half inches tall, and towers over my other figures on the shelf. He does have a very interesting sculpt. Like the game parts of his body have armored tissue, or exposed organs like a heart. Neca again goes all out and doesn't disappoint with its accuracy towards detail. He has a see through heart, armored skin for his left arm, and veins going all over his body. A cool piece of detail is his head which has a growth coming out of his right hand side that looks like a hanging artery, or tentacle.
Compared to the Castlevania series the Tyrant figure lacks in the articulation department. His leg articulation is just swivel joints right above the knee. He has chest articulation that can turn 360 degrees. His right arm just has a ball hinge joint at the shoulder. His left hand which is bigger has a ball hinge at the shoulder as well, but the three fingers on his hand each have a swivel joint at the base of them. They can each turn 360 degrees. His head is not held on by a ball joint or hinge, but rather a peg that plugs into his head. The peg is a ball joint in his neck however. This gives him decent head movement.
He only comes with a massive black base for him to stand on. To get him to stand without it is probably impossible so the base is extremely needed.
In conclusion this figure size and sculpt are the best aspects this figure has. Its articulation in at a minimum, and it needs the base to stand. For a Neca figure this is yet another work of art. Articulation for a Neca figure is special. Usually they are like this figure moving statues. However in the past year their figures have been gaining more points of articulation. I recommend this figure for any fan of the Resident Evil game series. I give him a 8/10.
That does it for this short review hope you all have a great Halloween, till next time this is Papadavigi signing off.
