My last entry into the Overwatch Nendoroid book is none other than Hanzo, the archer. Specializing in mobility, various stealthy arrow attacks, and his Ultimate move, the Dragonstrike. The contents of the box are pretty much that - the figure, an angry face late, two arrows (one regular, one Sonic), bow, Dragonstrike effect, forearm effect, several hands, and of course the typical Nendoroid stand with effects mounting arm. As with all other Nendoroids, the figure is designed with a Chibi art style, focusing on the cute rather than the detail side of things. Hanzo is a bit on a the slimmer side which makes handling his parts a bit more challenging for me, but I suspect Junkrat was a bit on the chunky side and is an anomaly.
Articulation is what I'm guessing is standard for action body Nendoroid males, namely ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, bicep swivel, elbow bend, wrists, and neck. No mid torso articulation or waist, but there are a few additional points of articulation in the ponytail and sash you attach to the body, as well as the quiver on his back. As expected, you can get the figure into decent poses, but nothing that will blow your mind.
Paint and build quality are top notch, as I expect from any and all Good Smile product. Paint applications are clean and crisp, with no overspray, poor masking or uneven application. Decals are sharply produced and applied on precisely, with some excellent work on the dragon for the shoulder, which carriers across all parts of the arm perfectly. Even the teeth, typically a weak spot on figures, is done appropriately, with just enough detailing to show it is teeth, but not so much that it crowds the space or is difficult to actual produce in figure form. Material choices are good and of course joints hold poses perfectly. There are also no issues with tolerances or other QC matters. As stated nothing really to complain about here as it is business as usual.
And that's really all there is to say about this figure. it's run of the mill for Good Smile Company, which is always a good thing. Being a Nendoroid, it's not going to blow your mind with regards to what it can actually do. But it is cute, and that's the name of the game for this line of figures, and with enough of them you can have an army of giant headed toddlers lining your shelves.
I've got a few more Nendoroids, but those aren't Overwatch or even human, so it'll be interesting to see how those turned out. What are they? You'll have to stay tuned to find out.
