I'm a fan of the anime, but not enough of a fan to buy the SHF or Figma versions. Also didn't want a statue. This figure hits the sweet spot for me for articulation and price. I also like the larger size as he looks good carving up ML Marvel zombies.
Well, the thing is, it's not really a budget figure. Like no one would say Hasbro's collectors lines are budget figures, and this is like that. I say it in comparison to SHF, but that's an odd distinction.
I never seen the show or anything but I always thought the character is cool looking. But for some reason everytime I see him it makes me think of Keanu Reeves, I think it's the shirt and tie and shape of the body. I may be crazy but that is what I think every time I see a picture or the figure. But pretty cool for the $20.00 - $25.00 price range. 👍👍👍
