Here are my shots of Static. Really nice figure, the colors and paint are all really solid. Articulation is fine, I guess, but this figure is one that could have really benefited from a thigh swivel. The boot swivel and thigh twist just don't cut it and it doesn't help that the manhole cover base, while it looks really cool, is a bit small.
There's few dynamic poses that can be done with it, even less so with both feet actually on the base. It works if one foot is kinda hanging off because its Static, but still.
Upper body is all pretty much perfect, though I would've liked some more neck range. he diaphragm joint works wonders and the stomach crunch is decent. Would've like a waist swivel but the diaphragm makes up for it. Again, the figure really needed thigh swivels, but other than that, the legs are pretty much fine.
The base is ok, it only loosely fits in the lightning but you can get some cool poses out of it with some imagination and finagling.
But the real gripe here is the accessories. Yes, when this was revealed we were shown 2 heads, a fabric coat, the base and lightning even and 7 hands in total. I dont know how, but we lost over half of those accessories on release, and without much notice either. Everyone knows that this line has been a fiasco, but what the heck happened? I'm pretty sure this is one of the only figures not to have extra hands, right? I would've gladly paid the $45 to get all of the accessories, heck even if they had to remove the coat I would've still bought the figure. But it is what it is and we end up with 2 heads and the base pieces for accessories.
Overall, what you get is nice, but for around $30(Thats what I paid) it is a little overpriced. Figure is maybe $25, if not lower.
Hopefully we get another accessory pack sometime down the line, but at this point that doesnt seem likely. Either way this is probably gonna be the only Static figure we get for a long time(The last one was what, 10 years ago?) so if you're a fan, I say pick it up.
One more thing: my figure's stomach begins to split apart. Its a minor issue, but always keep in mind DCC's QC issues. This is actually my first DCC figure, and fortunately I went in knowing what to expect.
