It's crazy that they got the articulation so bad on this. I almost choked when I saw the ball pegs for the sword sheaths. The figure looks excellent aside from that too. Though you complained about the number of accessories, I think it's more than what they usually come with now (though with their ever increasing price point they should obviously be coming with more).
I'm not really the biggest Overwatch fan, it looks cool and never played it. Only reason I would consider getting him is to have him fighting cyborg ninja Raiden or even Ninja Slayer (considering the shurikens). Would make for some cool photo ops. Who knows, maybe the helicopter butt sword might be a secret ninja technique we've never heard or seen before.
Well. It's not in Max Factory's habit to make big figurines (From memory there is only Hulk and Pyramid Head that exist in tall/imposing characters.), so there is little chance that it happens.
I do not really agree. Figma are often of good quality. The problem is that this quality is uncertain as soon as the figurine represents an adult male character. For example, I have nothing to complain about my Figma's of Gilgamesh, Joker (Persona 5 protagonist.), Link ALBW, Yami Yûgi and Killua but on the other hand, Pyramid Head is complex to put in scene, the neck of Link TP is much too long and even if I do not have them, I find the Figma of Shirou, Kiritsugu and Emiya messed up on the aesthetic plan. In short, as the female figures are irreproachable, as it is very random for the male figures... In my case, I just hope that Cù and Kaiba Figma's are among the good ones.
Hahaha man the last photo was so funny, shame that the figure has limited articulation i was hoping that they do a better job, a shame that mine is on the way, hope reaper and widowmaker are much better, thanks for the honesty like always man.
Man, thank you for the years worth of HONEST reviews. So many other reviewers just put every figure on a pedestal and pretend like everything is fine, when it really isn't and there are actual problems with the figures. With that kind of mentality, no wonder crap figures get made and ridiculous prices get charged. Keep up the great work and growing your voice and reach
Not everyone has a keen eye for anatomy and proportions and the like, and people have different standards for sculpt and paint work. Regarding crappy articulation/engineering, I imagine lots of people would complain, but I haven't seen any other reviews of this figure so I don't know that for sure.
Damn. That really sucks, but I do love my cyborg ninja boy. I felt like they gave up on articulation for detail or something in a lot of the areas, but I still think I might pick him up.
2 months later, I'm watching again the comments and a lot of people are complaining. Just because a figure looks good or it's your favourite character it shouldn't be perfect. Ex: If you buy a Hot Toys Hulkbuster (over 1000$) and it has very loose parts, poor articulation and bad painting, would you still thinking that it's awesome just because you love the character or the design? I watched reviews where other figures had loose parts but the reviewers didn't say anything about that. The legs were falling but they didn't talk about them
To fix the legs, they should of added a drop down joint, like the SH Figuarts. Though for everything else, I'm not so sure. Good thing I didn't end up getting it.
Anthony, this figure is awesome. Those arms joints that make is arm swing the way they do are way better the Revoltech, in fact its an improvement of the design. I wish my revoltech Spiderman had them. Oh and he is possible if you put your mind to it. The figure looks great with its sister figure, Tracer. All in all I wouldn't go as far as to not buy it. My Ginji figure came out sold, not as bad as yours.... Great video though keep doing what your doing, I was like hearing your opinions on figures. They feel the most honest videos.
Francisco Berumen Finally someone who actually has a brain. My figure had great articulation. I can understand his points and I feel so bad that he got a bad figure. But, my figure was great!!! Its legs could do the splits it's arms joints were way better.
I was curious, if you could have any toy company make Overwatch figures which company would you like to see take on the property? I feel like NECA use to make most of Blizzard's figures in the past. I have been waiting for a solid company to make these guys into figures, the Overwatch cast is so damn cool, they are dying to be made into action figures! haha
@@AnthonysCustoms Big W, sh figuarts is just great and does anime figs really well so I think they'd also do an amazing job on game figs especially overwatch
I hate to admit it, but this figure seemed off to me from the very beginning. I’m no stranger to goodsmiles quality, and this just isn’t their best. Nendoroid version looks much better. Still need him to complete the set, though
I've picked this figure up and seen 5 different reviews on it saying it's fantastic and I can say the same. I'm not sure why Anthony's figure is so janky it could be a defect considering how it dose happen. But do remember he's been doing this for years and knows some of what he states,which could be a double-edged sword in that case.
well after seeing that hasbro is going to make a mercy figure and it doesn't look bad, maybe they can make a better looking genji for a lower pricepoint but I'm probably asking for too much.
that mercy is something of a conundrum. it looks way too good to be anywhere near the $20 Hasbro ML price point. It'll be interesting to see how that plays out.
I didn't get it cuz the Dragon Blade looked too small, and that seems to be the case. Also he's brown, and I don't think it's that noticable in the game, if he's even brown at all.
I Remember i preordered him and nenderoid D.VA at gamestop because i was surprised that figma and neca appearing in thier preorder catalog and the employee knocked 15 bucks off of the original price since they were bugging me to preorder something
I know that the figure is not perfect, cause no figure is perfect, but he is picking out the smallest and pointless stuff like he's gonna have a professional photoshoot of him, like dude we just want to put these on our rooms and look at it
Its funny because youre the first person ive seen that has had these issues the other could crunch over all the way there was little to no separation with the torso and no floppiness either
hmmm lets see Loose joints: those can be individual mold defects Lots of separation at the torso: again mold defects some lack of articulation: as I said earlier ive seen people manage a full crunch with no issues whatsoever the other points such as accessories and paintjob I can agree with
We are lucky to even have Overwatch figures at all. And I think the Figma toys are probably way better than Hasbro and Mattel would ever be. In fact, if you look at many of the toys in toy stores lately they really are skimping on them. Granted if you go to a comic book store you can find higher quality figures, but they usually cost more. Overall, I probably would not complain too much... it is an action figure, not a statue and it is what it is. The Traver figure seems great. I have not seen the Reaper figure in a video yet. D.Va will probably have visible ball joints too. Not sure how Zenyatta's legs will work since he has pants over the legs. But hey at least we have some Overwatch figures. Better than none. It is also an alternative to the Funky Pops (which I love) and the Cute But Deadly series (also love). The only other toys are the Nendroid series which is by the same company as Figma.... It will be curious to see how the Lego toys look when they are released.
Personally I can see through those problems but I was wondering if it would be cool if they released the whole line again but with different skins, like legendaries and epics?, Idk
all so it may have issues i still love to buy this figure because im hugee collector and i had problems aswell but i really was looking forward to this figure all year and hoping for the best but my wallet won't look good after buying 😅
I feel like revoltech would kick ass with these overwatch figs though. I mean if they articulated genji the same way they articulated yanaguchi deadpool or spider man, it would be a great figure.
Figmas shines on the female and anime looks. So if your not into that FIGMA is not for you. Figma still has better overall in comparison to most US base action figures with funny looking joints.
oof thats rough. saw this for 80 bucks msrp . . . either this and wait for a mercy or im just gonna drop it all together and try for the nendoroids two for the price of one huh.
If you like ninja-cyborg 16cm figures - stick with the "Revoltech" Metal Gear Solid "Raiden" (white or black version) Genji-Figma is not a good Figure - Thx Anthony, for open our eyes! Wow, thats really the first time ever for me, to prefer a Revoltech over a Figma Figure.. loooool!!
I’ve been hearing some horror stories about the limbs falling out and that alone hurt my optimism for the figure. Seeing this video helped seal the deal for me. The proportions just look so strange, the colors look a bit off, and the price isn’t justified whatsoever.
Cathal Carson yes, I sold my genji. It was a really bad figure after all. I like Anthony because his reviews are actually really good not like other reviewers that just don’t care because it’s “figma”. With that money I bought figma cu chulainn, a way better figure. Pd: the booty disappointed me
They did not get the genji booty.... im extremely disappointed
Same
I miss his killer butt
Yep
14:28 Genji so OP, he's a transformer now.
Luqman Hakim 😂😂😂

I would love a Reinhardt
the hundred something he'd cost would be brutal though
Well. It's not in Max Factory's habit to make big figurines (From memory there is only Hulk and Pyramid Head that exist in tall/imposing characters.), so there is little chance that it happens.
LynxRouge yea and even if it does It would probably suck considering figmas work as of late

Not like this you don’t. But done well, hell yeah!
"It's really hard to pose this in any way that would be cool" *literally poses it in coolest ways possible at the end of video*
But why?
Oh man when Anthony doesn’t like a figure. I love it 😂😂😂😂 RIP figma genji
Zachary Nieznay this man dislike 8 out of 10 figure he reviews. I am not surprice.
fategrandoroder2 he’s a whiny overgrown man child
Tfw you spend 100 dollars on crappy figures and don’t want to feel ripped off
Hahaha man the last photo was so funny, shame that the figure has limited articulation i was hoping that they do a better job, a shame that mine is on the way, hope reaper and widowmaker are much better, thanks for the honesty like always man.
The height measurement are on the overwatch page
I have the figure, and the headband isn't floppy.
The katana is called the dragon blade if you still don't know and it does look a little small

Well I didn't see anything wrong asking for a high quality figure
dude i fucking love you. Im proving how SHITE this figure is lol
Damn. That really sucks, but I do love my cyborg ninja boy. I felt like they gave up on articulation for detail or something in a lot of the areas, but I still think I might pick him up.
idgaf if it look ugly genji still be lookin dope asf
Blizzard must be disappointed in this cuz blizzard are like perfectionist their character design is soo good and then you get this
his proportions are pretty accurate to how he is in game.
I got this figure and its not that bad when you pose him you cover up the "ugly part"
Yea its seems pretty good
Well, still gonna pick it up. At least to leave it on the shelf
It can do alot of poses if that pads around it's hips are removed
Imagine if he saw the hasbro one he will literally hate that thing like crazy
Yeah I kind of don’t want it but still do. I’ll just wait on it, no longer in a rush
I don't know what's going on with your figure. But mine doesn't fall apart at all.
I just ordered the last genji in the USA.
I am worried about the articulation
I own Figma Lancer from Fate and he has the same tipe of shoulder articulation, but i think they work fine for him because of his big shoulder armor
Wouldnt lock tight stiffen up the joints bc i still really want a genji and shaving off some of the armor from the thighs for a better kick

I watched reviews where other figures had loose parts but the reviewers didn't say anything about that. The legs were falling but they didn't talk about them
I think it's articulated weird so it could get in more action poses
But it can't
I WISH Revoltech does their shoulder joints like this, that way the darn things wont keep falling out!
The green shumada dragon sword if i remember correct me if I’m wrong.But the figure looks really bad but in design wise looks good.
To fix the legs, they should of added a drop down joint, like the SH Figuarts. Though for everything else, I'm not so sure. Good thing I didn't end up getting it.
H3ADSH0T DUDE even figuarts dont use drop joint hips anymore
marvioxious1989 Really? That sucks.
H3ADSH0T DUDE they now use the diaper crouch engineering on most figuarts.
Anthony, this figure is awesome. Those arms joints that make is arm swing the way they do are way better the Revoltech, in fact its an improvement of the design.

For they head, if u actually move it farther up u could make the head look up farther
no

@@AnthonysCustoms Big W, sh figuarts is just great and does anime figs really well so I think they'd also do an amazing job on game figs especially overwatch
The only thing I hate is the lack of accessories, I mean why can't they throw in Soba too
i now have the overwatch ultimates Genji and articulation wise he's fun to pose. with this one i still might get in the future who knows
Remember seeing this at target
I hate to admit it, but this figure seemed off to me from the very beginning. I’m no stranger to goodsmiles quality, and this just isn’t their best. Nendoroid version looks much better. Still need him to complete the set, though

It's not defective
I preordered this last October. Looked so good at Comic Con. This looks nothing like what I ordered!
Eh, welcome to Figma(and SH Figuarts). Their final products never look as good as the prototypes :\
Its the same.Its just that most collectors are bad at posing and maximizing the inate articulation of the figure.
Can't be bad at posing when the articulations aren't tight enough to stay in the chosen position
LadyKraken I have a few figures and they can never have their hands up like in the photos. So disappointing
@@DeadKraken shf is pretty good man
I just ordered it, for me, it’s a great deal.
My figure didn't have the floppy chest which I'm thankful for
well after seeing that hasbro is going to make a mercy figure and it doesn't look bad, maybe they can make a better looking genji for a lower pricepoint but I'm probably asking for too much.
that mercy is something of a conundrum. it looks way too good to be anywhere near the $20 Hasbro ML price point. It'll be interesting to see how that plays out.
@@AnthonysCustoms yeah but it also opens up for a reinhardt figure and all the other tanks/ bigger heroes. so i hope the line doesn't dissapoint
i hope it turns out great but at this point we dont know anything about it really so we cant speculate too much.
I’m getting this idk why people think it’s bad
I didn't get it cuz the Dragon Blade looked too small, and that seems to be the case. Also he's brown, and I don't think it's that noticable in the game, if he's even brown at all.
It looks okay to me. No complaint.

the other could crunch over all the way there was little to no separation with the torso and no floppiness either
The issues aren't a matter of production variance.
hmmm lets see
Loose joints: those can be individual mold defects
Lots of separation at the torso: again mold defects
some lack of articulation: as I said earlier ive seen people manage a full crunch with no issues whatsoever
the other points such as accessories and paintjob I can agree with
This is why i whatch reviews of the toy before i get the toy.
Still waiting for a Hanzo figma....
D.Va and Zenyatta are next.
But Genji needed healing and hanzo didn't
Anthony I got a question, what is the best action figure u ever had or seen
i cant move myself to buy this, i wanted an excellent poseable genji.. and this isnt it, i hope sh figuarts come up with a better one!
Its not to easy make are figure toys like what people want but just enjoy it that figure...
I owned and like the Tracer Figma figure. Disappointed what happened with Genji.
We are lucky to even have Overwatch figures at all. And I think the Figma toys are probably way better than Hasbro and Mattel would ever be. In fact, if you look at many of the toys in toy stores lately they really are skimping on them.

I don’t know if I should still get this figure or not
I just get the revoltech raiden and the figma genji looks like a sad copy (i watch your review of raiden to know if it was worth it thx for that)
Nelson Borquez that figure looks like sculpted by a drunk old guy.believe me
"YOU ARE BOLD COME TO SHIMA DA CASTLE THE DEN OF YOUR ENEMIES"
"Rules of Natur-... Oh wait, wrong character
Personally I can see through those problems but I was wondering if it would be cool if they released the whole line again but with different skins, like legendaries and epics?, Idk
NOOOOO What did they do to my main :(
I really wasn't expecting this figma to have bad articulation
You and me both
all so it may have issues i still love to buy this figure because im hugee collector and i had problems aswell but i really was looking forward to this figure all year and hoping for the best but my wallet won't look good after buying 😅
my friend is a big overwatch fan and a bigger genji fan and he's still thinking about buying this one...
for me a definite no. id rather buy a statue
dont see anything wrong with it...
Are you going to review reaper and widowmaker
You bet
AnthonysCustoms awesome looking forward to that
Hopefully they make a sombra and it hopefully will be better than the others
I feel like revoltech would kick ass with these overwatch figs though. I mean if they articulated genji the same way they articulated yanaguchi deadpool or spider man, it would be a great figure.
Dang I wish this were a SHFiguarts.
Such a shame.
Jeffrey Cruz IKR sh figuarts would make this much better and probably at a lower price
Asian Robot agreed. Sh figuarts have been upping their prices these days tho...
figma's not gonna start doing butterfly joints. They're gonna do the same thing they always do every time unfortunately.
Figmas shines on the female and anime looks. So if your not into that FIGMA is not for you. Figma still has better overall in comparison to most US base action figures with funny looking joints.
The name of the sword is the dragonblade
helicoptor mode, should add that into the game.
oof thats rough. saw this for 80 bucks msrp . . . either this and wait for a mercy or im just gonna drop it all together and try for the nendoroids two for the price of one huh.
i play overwatch i love genji great fig
Knew he didn’t look good from the get-go. Thanks again for saving me some cash, Anthony.
can somebody tell me honestly? is this figure worth it? does it breaks easly??
...did you watch the review?
@@AnthonysCustoms yes I did just to make sure
To late already bought it😬yea and I think the waist up should be a lil longer I feel like the legs are a lil lil lil to long.
Genji actually is tall its just he always looks short bc he is always crouching in game
He's not over 6ft...
His in game model is really tall like most of the cast but his artwork has this proportion.
I wouldn't expect for him to come with more accessories.
That's a shame
AnthonysCustoms
Don't get me wrong, it would be nice to receive a dragon that comes with the sword but I think they added enough accessories.
If you like ninja-cyborg 16cm figures - stick with the "Revoltech" Metal Gear Solid "Raiden" (white or black version)
Genji-Figma is not a good Figure - Thx Anthony, for open our eyes!
Wow, thats really the first time ever for me, to prefer a Revoltech over a Figma Figure.. loooool!!
Revoltech metal gear solid is too expensive - in terms of cost my money is on figma genji
EPIC Tube HD
The revoltech Raiden was on his release day only 40 bucks back than..
Not sure how much he went (white version or black) now a days.
Bummer. But that's the past. I think now, I've got to appreciate what figma's got for me. Before it's too late, and the price goes up....
- Pᴇʀғᴇᴄᴛ Cʀɪᴍᴇ - Still had Raiden since day 1, the best Revoltech figure in my collection.
I buy it yesterday in 45
Well at least it can make some pose like in game
I just bought this and is perfect. I really don't see any issue lol makes me think this guy likes to complain
The fact that you say it's perfect invalidates everything else you say.
@@AnthonysCustoms but, it's a good figure, sure it's not perfect, no figure is perfect but it is a good one, l don't understand the "must not buy"
Does this work good with stop motion?
It does just search “figma genji stop” and you’ll find some
Dang don’t hate
I’ve been hearing some horror stories about the limbs falling out and that alone hurt my optimism for the figure.
Seeing this video helped seal the deal for me. The proportions just look so strange, the colors look a bit off, and the price isn’t justified whatsoever.
TeamAngryFaic your dreaming
marvioxious1989
Dreaming? What?
Now get the overwatch ultimates one
You’re really good at posing, Anthony!
Do you still do custom action figures
Yes
Can u make your own overwatch figures with marvel legands
Ok if he sucks he does look awesome
It’s a shame because I preordered this guy and had high hopes for him. I guess he’s staying in the box lol
Cathal Carson yes, I sold my genji. It was a really bad figure after all. I like Anthony because his reviews are actually really good not like other reviewers that just don’t care because it’s “figma”. With that money I bought figma cu chulainn, a way better figure.
Pd: the booty disappointed me
Spoiler there coming out with reaper and widow
How did you get this. It comes out in august?!!??!?!
I imported it
dude ur asking for too much with genji he’s a simple character
the character has nothing to do with the figure beyond the look.
Figma really feel short with this figure...
I'm sad that he didn't say even one good thing about it
IM ALREADY GENJI
I really want the reaper but i plan on waiting to see if you do a review to see if its worth getting
ill be reviewing it
How much its that and where did you buy that
