Product Description
Talk trash with Dante! From Capcom’s Devil May Cry 3, Dante comes equipped with a new joint system that allows for a ton of dynamic action poses using only 14 joints! Ready to be posed on his action base, this 6-inch action figure comes equipped with one interchangeable head, two hand guns, a sword, a double-barreled sawed-off shot gun, and an electric guitar.
Being only the third installment in Kaiyodo’s line of super-poseable 6″ action figures using the “Revoltech” joint system and the first true action figure based on Dante from Devil May Cry (not including Kaiyodo’s smaller gashapon line), this toy has a lot to live up to. Well, rest assured this figure goes above and beyond any expectations you might have.
When you hold the box containing the Dante figure in your hands, you know right away you’re getting a quality product. The graphics on the package show Dante in a number of awesome poses, most of which could never be possible with a traditional 6″ figure. Dante displays quite nicely inside the box, and he has more heft to him than one might first expect. All of the text on the box, both Japanese and English, is printed clearly and all major points are bright and bold.
Although some people might argue that this figure is a little too small, I have no problems with Dante’s size. Sure he may be smaller than other figures labeled “six inches,” but he sports more articulation than almost any other action figure being produced right now. As mentioned above Dante utilizes the patented Revoltech Joint System which is an amalgamation of the words “Revolver” and “Technology” which really give him working articulation. Meaning that the joints ‘click’ into place when being posed so that the figure can maintain some of the more stylish poses Devil May Cry is known for. There really is no limit to the number of action-poses you can give Dante – your imagination can run wild with this one!
The sculpting and paint applications on this figure are astounding given it’s size. All of the little details like buttons, zippers, and buckles are given the full painted treatment and Dante’s skin is given a nice shading of multiple flesh-tones. Truly amazing work done in this category.
The number of accessories that accompany this figure is also quite astounding. If you are a fan of the game that this incarnation of Dante hails from, then you will be very happy indeed. Included here is one interchangeable head, two hand guns called “Ebony and Ivory,” his famous sword named “Rebellion,” a double-barreled shotgun, and “Nevan” his electric guitar!! Also included is a display base with a revoltech joint of it’s own for those cool mid-air poses.
There is nothing I would consider bad here except for the fact that no other Devil May Cry figures have been announced in the Revoltech line as of yet. (But hope springs eternal…) Otherwise, this figure is more that worth the price you will pay for him. High quality craftsmanship, great paint-apps, tons of extras, and maximum poseability all add up to making this one of the best representations of Dante in action figure form ever. Whether you consider yourself a fan of Devil May Cry or just plain cool figures in general, this is a must-buy.
