![]() ![]() I also expect at least a wash of shading from McFarlane usually, but here it seems like each piece assigned a color was simply plastered with that single tone.Īnd then there are the splatters. When I think of Sub-Zero, I think of a dark ninja who has was orphaned and put through hell. While the paint is fine for the most part, it’s all a bit bright and monotone. Or, I would if I ever gave a point score. This is where I have to take major points off. You can see giant peg holes and exposed joints on each of the appendages. ![]() You can tell the joints are less aesthetically engineered than some other brands, and are there purely as practical mechanisms to get the articulation job done. Then, par for the McFarlane course, the knee and elbow joints aren’t necessarily fine works of art. One makes the ornamental weapons look almost comically fake and the other makes it pretty foreseeable that you’re going to snap an axe handle trying to get it into his hands. If I could switch two materials on this figure, it would be the soft plastic of the small blades throughout the costume and the hard plastic of the hands. Some of the negatives would probably be the simplistic hands, the soft-looking small blades throughout Sub’s outfit, and actually how hard the plastic that Sub’s hands are made out of is. Some of the things I noticed and appreciated were the textured fabric designs on the plastic tunic hanging from Sub’s waist, the musculature in his arms, and the texturing in the pants. With what little detail is permitted by the mask, McFarlane does a great job sculpting the small grooves and folds. There are buckles and straps and different fabric textures throughout the body. If you want to use this stand (and you might NEED to), you’ll need to tear it off.įor the most part, there are some great, fine details on this figure. Like most McFarlane 7inch releases (I’m thinking Fortnite figures, etc.), this stand is blister-packed to the back of the cardboard background tray. Sub-Zero’s stand, however, is a different story. cut the tie-down and pull off the tape covering the axes, and it’s otherwise just a plastic tray that slides in and out of the box. This packaging isn’t as collector friendly as some other companies make their figures, but it’s pretty good. ![]() There are two adhesive stickers keeping the top flap closed, then once you’re in there is a rubber tie-down keeping the figure in place and tape covering his two axes. Sub-Zero comes packaged in a nice big, open window box. ![]()
