you can put him in a pose throwing his chair, to symbolizing that thoughts are nothing without action. Shit now I want one lol
Get deep
The one statue missing from this Figma line-up is the Atlas statue carrying the world on his back.
By the way, I bought The Thinker only because I was able to get it for real cheap, at least by typical Figma standards.
@@rsuriyop big chance its a bootleg
Are we going to get an articulated Mona Lisa? 😂
😂😂😂
Nope, Venus de Milo
Lol 😂😂😂
That would be dope
well... yes we are.
the reason why it's popular is because it can be used as pose reference for artists and serves that purpose better than the classic wooden doll (more detailed anatomy and more articulation).
It's the ultimate dummy for art students! Which is ten times better than the standard posable wooden figure that they sell. I'd buy one.
OFudo Myoo agreed. Same thought I had when I saw it
If I knew this is a thing at the time that it came out, I would absolutely get 2 of these(1 for my professor since she greatly admires Auguste Rodin) .
Figma did their best so i think they deserve alot of credits for this figure. This is art and a well known statue all over the world. I never saw other toycompanies made the thinker like this. I know there aren't many art work figures out there exept for one figure and that's a leonardo davinci articulated action figure with his own official paintings,wich i own for a while now.i'm glad figma made this figure. Maybe i'm gonna buy this one too. Great figure,great review!
I bought this guy and i gotta say it´s such a weird yet fascinating figure, classy and mysterious, not for your typical action figure collector. Already ordered the Venus and the David, they look great along the Takeya statue figures. Good review btw.
"not for your typical action figure collector" nice euphemism for tasteless swine
I like that you're reviewing the non-anime / manga / comic imports. I have the Thinker and like it a lot (I like figures on the artsy side, anyway, like the Takeya Buddhist collection and Okimono Collection). I have two complaints 1) that the shoulder joint peg on the "action" torso snapped when I wasn't paying close enough attention to keeping the arm aligned with the hinge when I repositioned it. I was able to get Figma to send me a replacement, but Figma goofed and sent me the "seated" torso piece. So, now I have two functional seated torsos and one broken peg action torso. 2) Removing the neck piece from the head can be difficult enough to need a wrench. One neck piece for each head would have been convenient.
Regardless, I like the Thinker, and am looking forward to the Leonardo DaVinci four-armed piece and the Michaelangelo David. The Venus de Milo looks fun, but also looks less poseable (her skirt piece looks as if it is not removable and would impede a lot of articulation).
Glad he's still affordable secondhand, loved this line and wish they'd do more.
Not gonna lie, I really like this guy lol.
Grey version would be great for an art model, better than the archetypes for sure
I LOVE this idea. Pretty much same idea as a table top zen garden is. But for people who dig art. And I LOVE sculptures so this just hits me and I LOVE the funny alternate poses....lol
I love these so much. Its like having a Museum right on your shelf
😮"Boom boom firepower" the minute I saw articulation
please tell me this was an expirament in 3d scanning. like the figma people comissioned a 3d scan of the original thinker sculpture and using apps like zbrush they basically "reconstructed" the lost articulation and essentially used their figma magic on a statue:D or something.
how many figure and toy studios utilize 3d printing anyway?
Awesome for customs.
He is pretty much a blank body with alot of detail.
...until the penis... But hey, that's what sculpting is for.
lol anthony is like "whoah! theres an extra accessory... ○-○
Lol that first picture tho! I love it when you put in funny stuff like that and cash and prizes into your videos
the famous artist who created the thinker statue was Auguste Rodin. it's kind of funny being able to play with a famous work of art.
Oh, ha, as for why the series exists, I think it makes for a fun gag bringing these statues to life as action figures. And, from an artsy side, the action figures are eclectic, unusual, and interesting to look at. I keep my Thinker on my computer desk beside the monitor. I also enjoyed using the "action" torso figure as an art model. Unfortunately, with my broken action torso, the seated torso is too limited to use for posing.
EDIT: Also, the Japanese themselves seem to enjoy eccentric toys, and an series based on Western art turned into action stars seems like something the Japanese would find appealing.
I would LOVE if they made the Lincoln Memorial
Wait what is this from? is it just a famous piece of art or something?
+Christopher Leusner yes. google "the thinker"
Lol yeah shoulda just did that in the first place
Those extra pair of hands will actually let you recreate some of the other works of Auguste Rodin.
This is just the coolest figma Ive seen since the Samus
People wanted this for a diorama of the thinker testifying against Mr. Sahwit.
Would this be considered a staction figure or an actue?
It's an action figure :)
I’m just left with one question....why?
"unless youre some kind of weird person" that part was funny
So basically a night at the museum figure? That's all I associate the thinker with lol very interesting choice of a character to make an action figure of since he really doesn't do anything besides think... I think a statue would work better. Great review!
+Joe Cyr lol. thanks.
Great review Anthony!!! Although I had to explain to my fiancee why I almost fell,out of the chair laughing. She wouldn't except cash and prizes as an answer without an explanation. To her credit she laughed as much as I did. I'm definitely not the audience for these figures and I'd never buy one but I can't help but feel that there's a missed opportunity for at least one more accessorie. They should of made the package removable and had a fully loaded version to swap on LOL. Thanks for the review and keep up the great work.
+Toy Man 1976 lol
I was gonna say, if this was just a static figure in his standard sitting pose, I'd say he probably wasn't worth it (why not just get a statue then). But since he comes with the extra pieces, I could see animators using these
That is weird. But I can see a market for it. The original Rodin has his right elbow very awkwardly resting on his left knee. It creates alot of negative space in the sculpture in person but pictures of it makes it look odd like that figure as its not ment to be seen smaller than life.
Neck joint on mine broke when trying to pose. I wonder if this European art line is figma's response to revoltech's Takeya series based on Japanese statues/art.
i was wondering whether or not i should get this or a statue for my office but now i think ill get this i think
It's nice for using as soldiers frozen by medusa
Nice review as always. Interesting Figma line. I've always wondered why they made one of the Thinker (or any statue really) but hey, whatever. Could pit him against Figma Link, S.H. Mario, Figma Samus and have an odd SSB display. Lol
I don't... I don't understand why this exists. I mean, I get that Figma is apparently making money but the people buying this are on oddity. Why not just buy a small statue of "The Thinker" if you want one for your desk display? It fails as a figure because it's supposed to represent "The Thinker," which is a static piece of art. But then it also fails as a statue because of all the segmented parts and the fact that you can literally buy a small statue of said piece of art for less than the cost of this figure. Why, if you were interested in buying a piece of art would you not simply buy the actual work for less money? Completely perplexing.
+steelspartanzero i guess it's just the appeal of having the thinker come to life in new poses.
I don't know. He could make for a funny Dr. Manhattan custom.
isn't better doing a static statue with all the details but in a smaller scale?this looks like a weird choice for figma
+Salvador Cuarto yep
LOL. is figma doing this for real or just for troll people??? ahahaha
professional review xDD
They doing this for real. Yep.
I think they're making a whole series of figmas based on sculptures. They're making a white "plaster" version of the Thinker too...for whatever reason.
I found a white one for 60-70$… good or nah?
dont know
I LIKE YOUR NEW BACKGROUND! please for the next video use white background.. keep collecting
I really dislike the rubber pieces on figures, especially when we are talking about body parts. I think its a poor design if you need to use flexible material to achieve proper articulation. I personally lvoe the idea of the line and would buy some of them, but I do not trust rubbery plastic. I fear it will deteriorate with years.
Lol you should've saved this review for April Fools
I hope there are more because this was hilarious
is that supposed to be brass?
I believe it's bronze.
+Joe Cyr i think joe is correct but i am too lazy to google
What a weird action figure to make. If I wanted a Thinker statue, I would just get a statue, not a $50 action figure with ugly joints all over the place. So weird.
+The Lone Bricker yeah
+The Lone Bricker You don't think, that's why you think you are thinking of getting a statue
jeek What?
The Lone Bricker Perfect answer !
+AnthonysCustoms is it standard for figma to use such rubber "panties" for figures or is usually that section made out of harder type of plastic?
Finally you did a review on this guy lol
Great figure for display on the desk, just need be creative tho.
next up, an articulated van gogh portrait
Actually i got a leonardo davinci action figure,officially.and still mint on card.they added the mona lisa painting and two other paintings wich are officially well known paintings. found it at a local comic shop for only just 2 $ retail. so i think maybe there is a van Gogh figure somewhere?
I wish there is statue of liberty!😏😏😏
Haha, Cash and Prizes huh? Never heard that term before. xD
that body would really make a good spidey custom👍
figma is running out of ideas
man,, a bit dizzy with the blur..
Fancy version of Figmas archetypes
I so hope they make a Hercules
I'm with you. I don't get it either.
Dr. Manhattan custom?
I want them to make the mege Alexandrous or Leonidas because im greek
Did they srsly put a tra la la on this fig
...What is there to "not get?"
There's been tons of weird shit in the Figma line. Japanese comedians, Gay male porn stars, super heroes, and THIS is the weirdest thing in the line?
Really?
+3Xblade it seems you're just trying to be contrary. you must understand why making an action figure of a statue is strange.
+AnthonysCustoms As other people have said though, it really just ends up being kind of a blank body to have and pose around. I love the Tabletop subline, as it is something unique and interesting, amidst the sea of anime schoolgirls, which is what Figma is 90% of the time.
Bandai is usually doing way cooler stuff with the Figuarts line, so to see something unique and novel come out of the Figma line is appreciated and refreshing. They're great as figures, because they just give you the option of doing more beyond their standard initial pose/whatever.
+AnthonysCustoms It's pretty cool to have an action figure of an art sculpture in my opinion. I guess it's really a taste thing, like you said.
I think it's pretty cool to pull something like a Gantz-thing with them, though.
Whoa that's the kind of face I just made
keep n it real
Boom bam fire power
woooah!! hahaha put a leaf on that thing! lol!
It's a good desk figure. Lol
why this figma exists?
... What's the point of posing works of art?...
really weird line, I feel the same as you
good fodder
cash and prizes hahahaha
Hah its buying an actions figure of a statue
wut
is it just me or his face resembles Trump ..lol
Who's buying this crap lol i don't know how the thought about making this line. Figma can't even think to make a inuyasha to go that kagome they made but they can think to make this lol
I would kill for a fully articulated Inuyasha fogure for a decent price
I grew up on that shit
You don't get it because it doesn't target weeaboos
+Kane Smith I think you have it backwards
+Kane Smith also, you shouldn't call people weeaboos when your avatar is of a cartoon character...
Really lazy of you to not get that neck out for the video
False
AnthonysCustoms how so?
lol
4:15 That's what she said...
