Got the Storm Collectibles GoW Kait. Basically she's overall as great as Cole but there's some trade-offs. So right off the bat she looks great as is expected from Storm. There's lots of small sculpted details on her armor and the paint details are all well done. Articulation wise she's as loaded as any of Storm's other offerings but due to her armor design some of it gets limited. Her suit's fur collar piece restricts her head from looking up basically at all but she still gets good side-to-side and downward motion in the neck. Her shoulder pads though only barely inhibit movement since they are flexible and there's not a lot of reason to have her arms up terribly high anyway. Otherwise everything moves freely enough and she can get into various battle-ready or more relaxed poses.


Accessories include the new Lancer rifle, Gnasher shotgun, the Talon pistol, two alternate heads, her Locust pendant, and an assortment of alternate hands. The alt heads are her basic head but with an orange snow-visor and her Gears 4 head with her hat even though that doesn't make a ton of sense being included with her Gears 5 winter suit. One feature I really like from the alternate heads is that you can actually interchange her full ponytail for the shorter tucked-in version on her visor head, it's just a nice feature to have that option. I did have some warping on my Lancer and Gnasher out of the box where the Lancer's barrel was skewed and then the Gnasher was just all kinds of warped. It didn't take very long to fix with a hairdryer but considering this is a premium priced import figure it's a tad annoying to have to deal with. The one accessory I feel is notably missing would be her knife which is particularly unique to her character since it's her mother's broken sword so I can't just give her Cole's knife to fill the gap.
Overall I really do like this figure, especially being a Gears fan who missed the boat on the NECA line and even then NECA could never have done Kait since they lost the license after Judgment. Like I said earlier she's as good as Cole but where he has more range to his articulation I do think Kait has just slightly better accessories. Scale wise she lines up about right being basically the same height as Marcus (going off of other reviews) but shorter than Cole.
