Final Fantasy XIII Play Arts -Kai-: Sazh

this is described as a "action figure" but that is only because it articulates. the waist however does not turn easily because of the stiff green military coat he has on.the hands hurt my fingers trying to pull them out of the wrist sockets! i replaced the closed fists he comes with, with the hands that grip the guns.i had to ask someone with stronger hands to help me, even then they hurt his hands too.i don't know if it was just my model, since i have seen youtube reviews and seen they come off with ease, but maybe the reviewer had amazing hand strength. who knows.the model paintwork is great, looks just like the character in the game. the face is lovely and detailed with a cheeky smile. sazh doesn't smile much, so it's nice to see a grin greeting you from where you display him.the quality of this figure is so good, great material, if you was to drop him by accident i don't think it would break, it is not a fragile material.you must be careful not to pull his legs and arms about too vigorously though, i accidentally moved his leg too far sideways and his leg joint came off, but it popped back on without any damage.please don't treat this as a toy, which is what i'm trying to say. he is a moveable poseable figurine that can balance on his own feet, it does not require a stand, and the box it comes in is lovely too.a true collectors item for a final fantasy fan.

this is third figure my son has collected from Final Fantasy. This is not a toy but a collectors figure. The construction of this figure does appear to be slightly different to the others, whilst Sazh Katzroy does seem sturdier the most annoying feature is that no stand is included in this pack, the lack of stand means he cannot be posed and has to balance between the other figures for stability.
