Play Arts Kai God of War Kratos
Video Review Here: Packaging: He has the usual box PAK figure feature with great graphics and design, This time around though it also feature a window flap with the GoW story on the inside. This has been done at least twice before with PAK and really upgrades the overall collector appeal to the product. Sculpt: Like most all of the PAK figure the sculpt is very well done. It has many intricate details in the body that work well for the character. He has a very menacing look to him and really captures Kratos' primal imposing demeanor. The Fleece armor looks greats to and also has many fine details that improve the overall look making it quite eye catching. It works well with the articulation not hindering arm movement. The skirt armor look great and function quite well not restricting leg movement. Paint: The painting is very well done and compliments the intricate sculpting. The application is clean with crisp line and little to no bleed. Washes are used to bring out finer details in the armor. His face is very well done also really bring the character to life . Articulation: Kratos is very posable and all the joints feel quite sturdy. Joints like the knees and elbows for example feature a ratcheting mechanism to help him retain a pose. He does however suffer from his ball joint hips having difficulty holding the weight of the body as many PAK figures do. He can be difficult to keep standing without some kind of aid. The articulation does works well with his sculpt though. He feature: ball and hinged neck, ball abdomen, ball waist, ball shoulders, ball elbows, ball wrists, ball hips, double hinged knees, and ball ankles. Accessories: He includes the blades of Athena and the claws of Hades. Both weapon sets are amazing sculpted and painted. He also includes 2 sets of hands: open and slightly closed for holding weapons. He also has 2 lengths of chain that can be attached to his wrists and weapon handles via small plugs. Lastly he includes a small white bar that can be inserted into his back and through the weapons to have him wear them across his back.

The shoulder joints look really weak- a huge gap between the deltoids and trapezus
Good sculpt with nice accessories though....maybe the shoulders could be fixed somehow? Last edited by Jason Abbadon; 05-01-2012 at 01:19 PM.. |

The two things I hate on this toy is the face and shoulder design. the face look like its to wide on the jaw line and the heavy gray on his forehead just look really bad. As for the swing out shoulders, I been hating it for the longest. it get loose way to easy and I wish PlayArts find a better way to design it or don't do it at all

Great review MMAFRs! Thanks! I can't wait to get this guy. My only little grip would be that he just doesn't look angry enough to me. I prefer my Kratos pissed off. I will definitely be picking this one up though.
