I love Horizon too! Aloy is such an amazing character! Awesome review and the first I saw where the Reviewer actually played the game. Who is your favorite character from the games!
I love Varl!! I was so excited to see him come back in Forbidden West. But Kotallo is probably my favorite at this point, I just love how he went from jaded and grumpy to Aloy's ride-or-die friend. I also love CYAN from the Frozen Wilds DLC, I wish she was in the second game 😭😭 How about you?
@@weekly_allowance Kotallo is my favorite charakter too and you are so right about him. His evolution alongside Aloy and his "loosing his arm and accepting himself" plus his amazing not anazing humour AND his design make him the best character in horizon but I also love Erend!
Spin Master really stepped up their game for this line, they also made figures for League of Legends but.. those were quite bad so the line kinda died after a while, About the faceplates, the artist who worked on the sculpting said in an interview they had to keep her ears on her head to keep the plastic thick enough to make space for the balljoint plus they would break easily, small sacrifices
Spin Masters could just do a line of Horizon figures and I would be a happy guy. I fell in love with this game when I first played it a couple years ago, and I've played it a good 5-6 times between the two games. Can't wait for the third! I even picked up the official Horizon cookbook, it's great! I would LOVE if Spin Master did some of the machines from the games. Sunwing would be obvious, but I'll buy like 5 Watchers! Here's hoping the line does well beyond Aloy, Kratos, and Atreus. I'm hoping for Erend!
Yes, give us Erend!!! He's such a sweetheart. I was super surprised they're making Varl, that gives me hope for more Horizon characters (and hopefully machines). My kingdom for a Kotallo.
I never heard of the game, much less played it (no Playstation), but this figure seemed pretty promising, so I preordered it. I have similar critiques about the facepaint, but not for the exact same reasons. I'd rather have them all be natural with those freckles. Besides that though, the sculpting on them are fantastic. I did end up heating the faceplates to shape them better, and all her hands to get that initial breakage from the factory. Those hands do seem to have large detents.
Yeah, the face paints look cool, but more expressions with just her bare face would be better imo. The Nora face paint is pretty unobtrusive, so even that would have been better for us bare-face enjoyers
Yes swappable faces and articulated hair! I will take every opportunity to dig at Mafex for stubbornly avoiding them for years! Don't take samples personally. Your channel has character and nuance, and companies pretty much just want "it's so sick, very wow!" in as many feeds as possible. Aces review!
Friendly neighborhood enemy here, I very much enjoyed this review you did. It’s nice to see a fan of the source material speak on it. I don’t know anything about the game but I want this figure for two reasons.. 1) My girlfriend is a lovely petite redhead & that makes me like this figure. 2) This figure looks great, the hair articulation is such a cool feature. Other companies need to implement the use. Imagine how much better She-Hulk’s huge mane of hair would be if it could move so the head could move freely as well.
I dont think you shouldn't reach out to companies. Its just that bigger companies tend to not care and they already have pre selected people to give out their product strategically. Smaller companies and indie are usually more receptive and interested.
I wouldn’t say spinmaster is bad. They make toys for kids. Meant to be played with and not just for show. I don’t play video games so don’t this character but the figure looks cool.
❤ I love Aloy😊. ❤❤ im waiting for mine....🎉🎉
I hope you get her soon!

That's interesting! I hadn't heard of Spin Master before this, awesome to hear they've stepped up their game.

Thank you! Don't worry, my heart isn't broken or anything. At least they politely ignored me instead of outright saying no 😂

I know! I was surprised by how well the hair system works (when it's not popping out of her head, which is rare tbf)

Noted! I felt very awkward about it so I probably won't be doing it again 😭 Unless it's something I feel really passionate about

I'd never heard of them before, but I'm pleasantly surprised by this figure!
