Horrible experience

動物フィギュアで有名なpapoが意欲的な作品を作ったな、と思い即買いしてしまいました。 結果、大満足です。

Product is nice and heavy. Well built. My sword and axe is still intact till now. Wish the Gorilla was a bit bigger as I lied to my son it's a king Kong. Overall very nice product

Excelente calidad

The figure is wonderfully detailed and realistic. I've never seen a mutant warrior ape but I have seen lowland gorillas and this guy looks just like one (albeit with armor and weapons). He actually has a more realistic face and head than the Papo "non-mutant" mountain gorilla figure. I'm a 65-year-old child when it comes to figurines, a lifelong lover of animals and primates in particular, and a huge sci-fi/fantasy fan and so when I went searching for new animal figures for my soon-to-be 3-year-old grandson and saw this among the Papo offerings, I had to have it. I'm delighted to say my grandson has inherited my love of animals and realistic figures (apparently it skipped a generation with his dad), but I thought that he might be too young for this one. I wasn't concerned about the weapons, and it didn't appear from the photos that it might scare him, I just thought the concept of an anthropomorphized gorilla might be a little beyond his imagination. I was very wrong. When I showed it to him along with two other gorilla figures I recently purchased, he was all over this one. So now I'm buying him one for his birthday next week. I haven't conducted a close comparison between the marketing photos and the figure to determine if they look exactly the same. If I'm happy with a product, I never do and I'm very happy with this one. There is nothing noticeably missing from the figure that appears in the photo. Both the katana and the wicked-looking ax/sword are removable, and both fit in the right hand that has a hole to receive them. Neither can be held in the left hand. The shaft of the ax/sword does not fit into the katana's harness. None of the armor is removable or moveable which was not unexpected, but I thought it worth noting here because it seems other customers have some unrealistic expectations, in general, of these figures. The figure is made of a hard and durable plastic that I'm sure will last a very long time of heavy play, but it will not bend. The limbs are not articulated and the stance the gorilla comes with is the only one you or your child will ever see. Again, this is perfectly fine by me, but these reviews are meant to be helpful and I've seen that some people are disappointed when they buy a Papo figure and they can't pose it in different positions. The weapons are flexible and they seem sturdy to me. They held up when my grandson played with them today, and I think they will for good long while but they've not been tested by me. They are relatively small and can easily be lost though. I would not give them to a child younger than my grandson. He might lose them but he's not going try and eat them and risk choking. This figure isn't priced at a bargain-basement level but in my opinion, it's quality creates value in excess of its cost. If you or the child in your life are anything like me and my grandson, I feel certain that you will not be disappointed.

Love Papo figurines they are so detailed. These will make the perfect addition to my sons collection for easter. Shipping was very prompt.
