They're beautiful! If it's not too much trouble, I'd love it if anyone snapped some pictures of theirs once freed from the packaging.

Here you go!








Now...after having him out and fiddling around a bit...here's some thoughts.

He has articulation in the wrists, elbows, shoulders, head, waist, legs, double jointed knees, and ankles. Elbows are on a swivel, legs are on a T joint, but have no swivel at the upper thigh, which makes him very hard to get into dynamic poses, as the leg greaves make it difficult to move his ankles around. There's no ankle rocker either which makes standing him difficult.

The weapons fit in either hand, however the sword fits easier in his right hand than his left. The dagger works in either mitt. The sword also fits perfectly in his sheath. There's no sheath or storage for the dagger, however you can tuck it into the belt holding his sword sheath on, and it works nicely due to the dagger's hilt. Not having the iron shield though that was shown in several of the prototype shots though kinda sucks.

Paints are consistent all around, however (and I knew it would) the sculpt really hurts the articulation. Because of the kilt/skirt, it's nearly impossible for him to kick forward, and it also inhibits his leg articulation horizontally as well. Not having a thigh swivel hurts this even more. Mine also had very loose joints at the elbows, they move up and down and hold quite well...but the horizontal swivel was very loose, basically giving him helicopter arms at the elbows. The shoulders articulate well enough, however the shoulder armor on the right shoulder also inhibits that arm as well. And although it looks like he has articulation at the calf/boot, I assure you, he doesn't, and since the boots are bulky, it puts the double jointed knees to waste. And again, the lack of ankle rockers makes standing him kind of a pain in the ass.

Complaints aside, honestly, I am happy just to have a figure for Skyrim on my shelf, so despite the faults, I honestly do adore it. I knew what to expect due to the sculpt and the company's (Funko's) reputation, so I knew I wasn't getting a MAFEX or Figurearts quality figure. Honestly, the only thing that bummed me out was the lack of thigh swivel, iron shield, and the loose arms.

Still though, I don't pose or play too much with my toys as is...they usually get posed and placed on a shelf, so that considereing it feels good for me to have him up on my shelf, considering that Skyrim was literally the only game I played for almost 2 years straight.

And yes...those pics were taken on top of a toilet. The good lamp in the bedroom died, so it was the best lighting I could get in the house...lol.
