We have cookies and milk might be seeming not sure All right guys welcome back to come again I'm gonna really reviewing figure that my wife just got me from my birthday Of course my birthday is on Monday the 13th of March So she went ahead and ordered me the Sherlock action figure from the hit BBC series starring Benedict Cumberbatch So as you'll notice the box is Pretty much a collector style box now John had a figure just like this at the shop When it was open however his was factory mistake The Benedict the Sherlock figure actually came packaged Upside down never opened Now however with me. I like to open the boxes. So I Never got it because I knew I was gonna open it. I didn't want to spend that much money on Something I was gonna open anyway So it didn't really make sense. So as you'll notice it has the door to Sherlock's apartment or his his flat as they call it over there 221 B Baker Street I'm a longtime Sherlock Holmes fan Even in grade school. I would read the old Sherlock Holmes books By sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I've just I've always been Intrigued by the character of Sherlock Holmes he's just He's an amazing character to get into we look at the side and you will see Benedict Cumberbatch in his Sherlock attire Pack includes a violin a Skull and a cell phone There's the back of the package The other side the top and the bottom then inside See nice packaging Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Then a close-up of his face here and As quote I need you to maximize your visual memory And then we got John Watson on the side It is five inches tall. I was a little worried. I When I first discovered how tall it was I was a little worried it was going to be too small But I think it is really the perfect size I will get Measuring tape out here once I finish going over this guy and Measure it for sure to make sure it is exactly five inches tall So let's go ahead and take him out of his package and take a look. All right guys So as you can see The you do have to take little sticky tape round circular Tape off of it to open it however, once you do that It is very easy to keep if you want to Keep the box and display him in box You are able to do that nice little window box. I think I might keep this box. Just I Won't keep him in the box, but I will keep the box itself. I do like it secured by Velcro on the little flaps Very nice So let's go ahead and move this out of the way And we'll take a look at the figure. All right, so as you can see there is a little Cardboard piece for the background. You just remove that rather easily just slides right off and you have Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock you have the skull you have the violin and The bow as well as the cell phone. He is secured in by one rubber band and The rest are secured in with tape So let's go ahead and remove that Take him and the accessories out of the package We'll go over the accessories first and then we'll go over Sherlock himself So first things first we have the skull here Very nice detail Let me go ahead and move this change of lighting real quick So we got the skull here as you can see they did not skimp on the detail at all You got hollowed out eye sockets Got the hollowed out nose slightly not completely hollowed out, but you can tell it's got depth Get the mouth and the teeth each tooth is sculpted Very nice sculpt and paint job to the skull got the temple sculpt Done very well got the nice Sculpt from where this skull itself actually fuses together right there Nice sculpt of where the spine attaches to the skull And the jawline Very nice paint job as you can see here It is a brown and darker a light brown and dark brown to give it a very realistic look. I Really like it a lot. Go ahead and set that to the side there We'll take a look at his cell phone now all right Cell phone it Does look like I think it's a blackberry it could be wrong Not a lot of detail. They do have the keypad there and then They could have added a little bit to the screen Maybe a sticker or something on there Would look good But as it stands it just looks like a black flat piece of plastic very thin Probably very easy to lose. I Know I've almost dropped it quite a few times So there's the cell phone and the skull Here is his violin as you can see each string Does appear to be Sculpted on there. They didn't do too good of a job on the branding marks the violin I Know those I don't think they're supposed to be Branding marks. I think those are actually supposed to be openings for the acoustics of the violin But even so Not really as Sharp looking as they could have been very nice brown paint job dark brown With as much detail as they put into the skull I really wish they could have put a little bit more detail into this file in maybe Doing a little bit better paint job on the strings Or for the strings to make them stand out a little bit more but overall not bad It is a softer plastic So you don't really have to worry about breaking it too easily kind of that gummy plastic at least on the neck The body is a little bit thicker, but I think it's the same gummy plastic just thicker Now let's take a look at the bow once again It is that really gummy plastic They could have probably done a little bit better job with this as well it just looks like a Stick pretty much With two different shades of brown So there's that part now. Let's go ahead and take a look at Sherlock himself you will notice he has his scarf It is the blue and striped scarf and it does move. It's not actually a Part of the sculpt. It's actually separate It looks like they put it on and then put the head on The jacket is made up of a softer plastic Very soft very flexible The sculpt just looks amazing they got all that detail in there All the folds increases to the jacket the buttons on the back The sculpt to the hair looks amazing and it does relative look pretty much like Benedict Cumberbatch It does look like the upper part of the jacket is Completely glued on to them so it only it only moves from the waist down Which isn't really a big deal They could have however made it to where you could take the scarf off That would have been nice. I think he could have gotten a lot more rotation out of his head without the scarf as Is his head moves about that far on each side I think if it weren't for the scarf, he might be able to go further But You know what it's a really good likeness, so and his arms do go All the way around there is a bicep swivel But they do not go out and you got the bicep swivel on both sides you got the Elbow joint it is just a single ball joint or a single Standard joint elbow joint. Well, you can see that. Let me bring it close. There we go and he does have his wrist Joints it does appear to be on a ball joint. However, you don't get too much movement out of it It can move slightly Around like a ball joint It can turn Let's take a look at the sculpt on the hands. The hand sculpt isn't that bad really Very nice hand sculpt. They could have put in a little bit better paint job for shadow casting on the fingers But overall not bad Same way with this side Now we move down to the legs Bring his arms up real quick He does have waist swivel. You can turn all the way around It is just a little bit cumbersome because cumbersome cumber batch is cumbersome But it is very cumbersome because of the jacket Difficult the legs do move all the way out or If the jacket wasn't in the way anyway, let's see here bring the jacket up and The legs do go pretty far out You get that nice blowing motion of his jacket. It doesn't stay up like that though Let me let me put that up again so you can see the Articulation a little bit better. All right, so once again The waist swivel the legs they do go Up that far back that far, but they do go pretty far out Then you got the thigh swivel All the way around on both legs you got a standard knee joint and It looks like no No foot articulation But it does look like they may be a separate piece. So maybe they just glued in there But overall not bad. Let's see how well Put the Ellen in his hand So you can't tell does appear he's right-handed he's got his Violin in his left hand with the bow which I believe Goes like this in his right hand, which I believe is very show accurate In fact, most musicians you will find are Right-handed that's why the majority of instruments are made for right-handed musicians As a musician myself, I play guitar base I can hold my own with drums and I used to be able to play the piano quite well. So There you go. He holds it pretty well I doubt you'd be able to get a whole lot of the Violin motion or violin playing motion out of the other hand Simply because of the articulation Not as bad thing But nonetheless, you're not gonna get You're not gonna get a lot of violin playing motion out of it This will probably just go right up on my shelf with my other collectibles It'll actually probably go on my McFarland shelf because it does remind me of a McFarland toys figure even though it appears It's done by underground toys Yeah Underground toys So now let's see here. Yeah, we did the violin Let's see. He's right-handed. So his cell phone would go in his right hand as well I guess it fits in there. Okay. It slides in. I don't know who would hold their cell phone like that but you know See how it is in the other hand It does not fit in his other hand. He does stand up very well and And yeah, I'm pretty happy with this figure. I really like the details. I I think they did a great job They could have made his articulation a little bit better Like I said, they could have made it to where the scarf was removable so that we'd get a little bit more articulation out of his head The way Benedict Cumberbatch moves on the show they could have done Double elbow joints and double knee joints and could have probably gone with ankle joints and rockers as well but overall I'm pretty happy with it. I can understand why they didn't go with the ankle joints or rockers because the pant legs I Have seen especially on McFarland toys where the ankle Rockers It will be a little bit more flimsier and cause The figure not to stand as well But this figure has no problem standing at all So overall, I'm gonna give this guy probably an eight out of ten Go out to your local comic book shop your local collectible shop Amazon eBay So yeah, there he goes guys BBC's Sherlock action figure. Oh, yeah, I'll be right back. Let me go get my Measuring tape and I will measure him have my handy dandy Measuring tool here he does actually stand About a little over five and a half inches Not exactly five inches tall a little bit more Which is nice because as you can see He'd look very short if he were exactly five inches So I am pleased that he's not exactly five inches tall The box itself Is seven and a half inches tall So it it it's gonna make a nice display piece. It really is it's not gonna be too big It will fit in very well with my McFarlane collectibles my Walking dead Daryl Dixon on his motorcycle as well as my assassin's creep figures. There you have it guys BBC and underground toys Benedict Cumberbatch Sherlock Action figure I'm really glad my wife got this for me for my birthday. Like I said, he's gonna go right up on my shelf And probably gonna stay there so I don't lose any of the pieces and I'll probably put the box In my closet somewhere hang on to it So take care guys.
