BANDAI Robot Spirits Damashii Gipsy Avenger Pacific Rim Uprising

Segel MISB Sculpt isn #39;t the only area that Gipsy Avenger excels at either, with the body also boasting an incredible level of articulation. Anyone who’s previously picked up some sort of Tamashii Nations figure (be it an S.H. Figuarts or Robot Damashii) will have a rough idea of how great these toys can be, but Gipsy really is something else. The legs aren #39;t just connected to the hips via ball joints, they also feature rotating sections which are then attached to yet another ball joint. Then on top of all that the entire crotch section is able swing to either side, adding even more clearance to this already incredible range of movement. Similarly the double hinge-jointed elbows and knees have an extremely satisfying level of bend to them, while the ball-jointed ankles allow for a wide range of poses with ample balance to pull them off. In addition to all this you also have the ball-jointed shoulders, upper torso and head rounding off those promised 24 points of articulation. The only real shortcoming here are the shoulder pads, which don #39;t seem to get on well with the space between the torso and the shoulder blade sections plugged into the back. This results in hindered outward movement to the shoulders as well as some notable fragility to the pieces, given that they #39;re attached by such a tiny joint. However other that those specific areas Gipsy Avenger can really go through the motions when it comes to movement, confidently capable of not only standing on one leg but also with the other practically wrapped around the head. Rarely do you see figures this flexible, and certainly not at this price range.
