So interesting story about this figure. This is actually an older release - I mean, most of them are by the time they get to me - but in this instance I mean it was clearanced on Black Friday, but I actually preordered it when it was first annouced.
It's just that for whatever reason, over a year later my selected Canadian retailer still had not gotten it yet. So I ended up cancelling and ordering the figure from Bandai directly for like half the price.
Win-win?
The details escape me now, but there were two versions of this figure announced, with this being the Deluxe version. I believe it had to do with some stickers and the postcard.
This is also my first Blitzway product and I have to say they're pretty good from an end product perspective. I've never seen any other company, especially one making figures at this size/price point, actually put a plastic baggie over each individual hand.
Now THAT'S quality concerns.
While this figure isn't really about the articulation, Waldo (or Wally) features some decent articulation. He's no Black Widow, but he can at least keep up with your action figure, albeit one with no waist.
The finished product is, as mentioned, quite clean. It's very simple by comparison to other figures that I've purchased, No issues with regards to blemishes or poor paint. The host of accessories are well done.
At the end of the day, chances are unless you're a fan of Where's Waldo/Wally, you're probably going to skip this. It doesn't come from any exciting franchises, and it's really not a figure that fits into most peoples collection.
But it IS a refreshing change of pace. So if you're looking for something like that, look no further, though you might want to wait for another sale.
