![]() Today we have the penultimate Infinity Blade review. It does stick out a bit from the others, but thankfully you can’t really see the problems until it’s actually in your hands, so it still makes for a fine display piece. ![]() This figure definitely falls under the category of “So bad, it’s good” with the wonky knees and elbows and the Liefeld-esque lack of spine. I like to save the best for last in a series like this, and depending how you look at it, I’ve either done exactly that or not at all. Isa comes with no accessories.Īnd that’s it, we’re all done with Infinity Blade Collectibles. She’s supposed to have a few touches of dirt on her arms as one might after a long day of fighting monsters, but they missed the mark and instead made her look like she’s got some nasty bruises. There’s some nice line work on the torso, head and legs, but the arms. The color details are closer to what we’ve seen on the other figures, maybe actually a little brighter than the others but still marred by the lack of varnish. I had to go back into the game to look, and sure enough, all these issues were there from the start. As she is now, Isa’s spine seems impossibly contorted, her arms look like they’re made out of Play-Doh, and her legs around the hip have these really terrible creases from the 3D mesh folding on itself. When you’re playing the game, the characters are moving around doing all sorts of cool moves, but it happens quickly and from very fixed camera angles so you don’t really see everything going on. This is where the problems arise, not from the sculpt which is spot on, but from the character model in the game. ![]() In contrast to the other figures in this set, the aforementioned Horizon pose is much more of an action pose. Were it any thinner I wouldn’t be surprised if it fell off if someone happened to sneeze a little too hard. That being said, I can understand why it came out that way because as it is it seems very fragile. It ends up looking like a pool noodle rather than the sleek, streamlined staff it’s supposed to be. The first thing I noticed when I opened this figure is that her weapon, Norfair, is too chunky in comparison to the game and not by a small margin. She has no articulation as usual and is in the Horizon pose which actually makes her much shorter than the other figures at only two and a quarter (three including the weapon) inches tall. This figure is based on Isa from Infinity Blade 3 dressed up in the Dark Stripe armor, Crystalis helm, Lunith Brace gauntlet, and wielding Norfair. Here we go, ending on a bang of sorts.īoring stuff out of the way first. Today I’ll be looking at my sixth and final piece of my Infinity Blade Collectibles set, but I promise, this one is going to be interesting so just bear with me.

The following is a guest review by Tim Marron.
