It’s overall a very cool figure, especially at the price point. The comparable Neca 1/4 scale version is apparently fantastic as well and was even slightly cheaper despite being even larger-scale.
Excellent figure overall, I own lots of kratos figures and this is one of the best, wish we got more characters from the games to, be nice to see the line expanded
As someone who is a huge fan of marvel legends the visible joints don’t really bother me at all. God of War is also my all time favorite video game lineup. Definitely thinking about picking this up!
This is very much “the one that got away” pieces for me, totally regret not picking this guy up when I had the chance. Though, I saw that there’s a third party version being made so I might pick that one up since I really want me a kratos figure! Thank you for the review!
I have seen pictures of the 3rd party Ragnarok figure. Looks good but I'm worried about the usual downgrade between promo pictures and final figure. If I didn't have the Mondo one I would certainly get the 3rd party figure. I just wish someone would also make a 1/6 scale Atreus.
@@chamoo232 yeah my only gripe is the weapons looking a tad under scaled. But as it stands it’s currently my only option for a sixth scale kratos figure, unless mondo decides to come out with a reissue or ragnarok version. An Atreus figure would also be dope! Fingers crossed someone has a go at him one day
@@Gioven740 One thing I did notice about the 3rd party one is the leg wraps and knee pads are mirrored. Same mold but flipped. It's not terrible but once you notice it it's a bit annoying.
Bought this figure last year, it’s awesome I keep it on a shelf with my Iron Giant I also got from mondo and I just change the poses every once in a while
What a Giga Chad, ik it's a review so he kinda has to he pays attention to EVERY detail that most people skip past. People put hard work into this and it deserves this attention. Great work, it was a phenomenal review.
My only issue with figures like these is the exposed articulation points and I hate that there is no way around it without making it a statue. I just don't see myself paying 200-300$ for something with exposed joints. No matter how good and detailed the headsculpt is.
@ghostguy3328 there are plenty of figures with joints that aren't exposed. Star Wars Hot Toys for example, mostly all figures have the ability to move around and no exposed joints. But that always goes out the window when a character that doesn't wear clothes on the upper body is made. Or even just a vest. I have a ton of figures from Hot Toys that have no visible seams or exposed joints, but I do understand that it's impossible to do so with figures like Kratos, the Hulk or Johnny Silverhand, just to name a few.
Great vid. I picked up the collector's edition last year off Mondo website for retail. Then a few months later towards the end of last year Mondo had it for 25% discount. Crazy to think the collector's edition was discounted after having been on the website for so long.
the only two things that prevent me from picking one up are that the skin is not pale/white enough and that the beard is brown when it should be dark gray but nothing that a white dry brushing and a black repaint on the beard can´t fix
i like that usually a separate head model is for interchangeable heads of the main figure (offering different expressions etc) but here, Mimir is LITERALLY JUST A HEAD LMAO, i just find that hilarious
@@JustinsCollection if you love the story yes, the gameplay is a little bit of a hack and slash much more so than these new ones but understanding the story of young Kratos and playing through the events up to the new games Is so rewarding, also happy thanksgiving mate!
Have you ever gotten into the NECA 1/4 scale line of figures? Their Kratos is amazing. Underlying sculpt is incredible paint is hot or miss but it’s a simple repaint. Even as a base though it’s still amazing worth picking up
God of War (2018) & God of War Raganarok are actually the 9th and 10th installments in the series (11th and 12th if you count the 2 collections released)
I have the Deluxe version of this figure with the fully upgraded blades and axe. The screaming head look off to me as well because of the moustache. I think they could have made a transparent plastic piece that could hold the blades on the back as well but I managed to make something that work out of a twist tie. Last little complaint is the fur pieces. They looked better on the official pictures. They downgraded to some plastic looking carpet but that's often what happens even with Hot Toys. Mondo is not used to make figures like this so I think they did a great job. They did a Gordon Freeman figure from Half-Life before they did Kratos and it got pretty bad reviews overall.
@@JustinsCollection For the price difference I went with the Deluxe. It was just 5$ more but to be honest the fully upgraded blades and axe are still in the box for mine. lol
Looks great and nice review. I do wonder how mondo is with announcing pre orders after showing off figures at sdcc. Still waiting and hoping for their 'the thing' horror figure 1/6. Will have to jump on that if they release an exclusive. Have reached out to mondo, but like hot toys, they don't communicate with their customers like iconiqstudios or inarts for example.
I'm surprised nobody ever brings up the tattoo on his face, in the games it's clearly on the left side of his head, but on this figure they put it EXTREMELY close to the center of his face. That's always bothered me so much about this figure
The reason why his chains are there when he uses them and gone when he doesn’t is because the chains are around his forearms, so that’s why they keep appearing and disappearing
I think the complaints i see un the overall figure is the color of the beard, the eyes look too dark, and the golden partes of the Blades of chaos should be figure, but even with that it's really nice! Can't wait You to Review the third party versión!
Why he has no ashes on his skin?! that's a big miss for me rather that he's fine really nice detail on clothes and great sculpted heads. i have the 1/4 NECA Kratos and for me he's the best figure overall out there. nice review tho :)
Only issue I have besides the articulation on the arms it's the skin tone, he just looks like he hasn't had a tan in a long, long time, not white. Also, the beard os supposed to be black
Hey Justin loved the vid keep it up! Also I live in the US and I’m looking to preorder electro from toys wonderland, do you know if it ships directly from Hong Kong?
Amazing detail on the figure but spoilt massively by the torso being in two pieces. The stupid thing about having that articulation is that as soon as you move it, even slightly, then the red tattoo on the right side goes out of alignment so it might as well have just been one piece anyway! Otherwise a great figure with a perfect likeness to the character model as depicted in the two recent games.
In my opinion, I think the ash on Kratos's skin should've been a bit whiter. At first, I thought he had regular skin
Fair!
Yes I'm glad someone else noticed
true, in the first game he’s a dark toned guy, but a witch cursed him so his skin is the ashes of his dead family I think
He beard is also off too
Its fading maybe the curse is breaking because kratos is redeeming himself
BOY!!! This Kratos figure is out of this world. Almost GODly level
He is!
I agree
godly? maybe if this was the original franchise! kratos sucks now hes the epitome of gaystation dying.
The new game was so good, would love to see hot toys make Kratos. Even though it's not likely
Agreed!
Dnt give up hope
There could be hope for him, Hot Toys has done some video game characters and lately they've been making more and more figures of different characters
Prime 1 Statues from God of War are far better than toys
I hope figuarts does tbh
It’s overall a very cool figure, especially at the price point. The comparable Neca 1/4 scale version is apparently fantastic as well and was even slightly cheaper despite being even larger-scale.
Agreed that one is dope too
As soon as Mondo announced this figure when they did. I jumped at the bit and got the deluxe version. Absolutely love it.
I wish I had gotten that one
Excellent figure overall, I own lots of kratos figures and this is one of the best, wish we got more characters from the games to, be nice to see the line expanded
I hope we get more!
Imagine the ragnarok lineup if they dine one. It would be amazing.
I just got this figure two weeks ago. I love it because it’s also my first Kratos figure. He looks badass even if He is just standing there.
Awesome!
where do i buy

I preordered the deluxe version of this figure in 2019 and received it in 2021. One of my favourites in my 6th scale collection
It is awesome!
I’ve never seen nor played God of War until this recent one and it’s epic. This figure is so dope! Great review once again Justin!
It's so good!

Fair enough!
Wouldn't it just be a statue then? If you don't want them to be exposed you Wouldn't be able to move it

Awesome! Wow that’s crazy!
Wow really?!!
The yelling head version just looks like Bill Goldberg. Like, they modeled him from the Santa’s Slay movie
Oh
Was looking for this figure yesterday, and here is it. You read my mind 😅
Awesome!
You finally did it!!! 🎉😁
Huge fan from you and god of war, thanks for the video! Stay safe y’all.
I did!
He looks great! I'm still playing the new game, it's amazing! Looking forward to the third party figures, the photos of them look incredible!
Me too!
Premium edition here is really worth. Those extra weapons are really nice.
I know right!
I can’t get over the beard color
Fair
😂 The head that opens my mouth is funny when I look at it for a long time.
Oh!
the only two things that prevent me from picking one up are that the skin is not pale/white enough and that the beard is brown when it should be dark gray but nothing that a white dry brushing and a black repaint on the beard can´t fix
Totally fair!
Omg this looks amazing
He does!
Oh boi, oh boi!
This Kratos is cool, I hope we get to see him pose with a GoW Thor figure in your collection in the future!
He is dope!
Great looking figure, i just wish he was a tad bit whiter, can’t exactly tell he still has the ashes on him.
Fair!
this figure is gorgeous the only bad point is the beard's color but other than that it looks really cool
Agreed
If it wasn’t for the yelling head or the lines on the arms and gut where the figure connects I would love this figure overall good figure though
Fair!
Kratos was one My favorite video games character.i hope mondo or Hot toys gives us Ragnarok Kratos in the future.awesome review Justin 👍👍👍👍👍
Awesome! I hope they do!
your videos never failed to entertain your power rangers figure are my favorite and my top number 1 favorite is the squid game gaurd figure
Thank you!
This action figure is god tier.

Haha nice
This Kratos is Farbauti!
He is what now?

This It's so realistic it's amazing

Play it!
Oh believe me. You gonna love Ragnarok so much.
I am loving it so far!
@@JustinsCollection that's great. Hope you'll have fun playing it.
7:35 make sense since because of the massive time jump from the 3rd and 4th game

Yep!
I hope at some point Hot Toys make characters from God of War I'd kill for a Baldur Odin Thor and Heimdall figs!
Agreed!
Id LOVE a mafex god of war 3 kratos ! I currently have the neca one but a mafex one would SLAP

The angry head of Kratos looks like Goldberg.
Lol

Definetly a shame that only the deluxe version has the upgraded versions of the weapons, but definetly a cool figure.

I would love a figure for Thor as well.

“BOY! THEY TURNED ME IN INTO A MARKETABLE ACTION FIGURE!”
Lol
Now I need Kratos in Toy Story
Really?
I'm getting the sideshow collectible one. Check it out if you have not. I have about 4 or so of their statues, and they never disappoint.
I wasn’t aware they made one. From this game?
Tbh if you're not going to extremely pose him those little to none articulation was fine as a display
Agreed
Do you have a link to the third party kratos coming out?
It’s made by One Toys and Worldbox
skin color is different. original kratos is more whitish because he is covered in ashes .
This guy is too
Kratos: Ares! Please, don't turn me into a marketable action figure!
Ares: turns Kratos into an action figure
Kratos: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Lol
The reason why his chains are there when he uses them and gone when he doesn’t is because the chains are around his forearms, so that’s why they keep appearing and disappearing
Yes I know lol
I meant how do they randomly attach whenever he grabs them
Honestly people nowadays push always for the new truthfully it would be much better to have a god of war Ascension figure
Fair enough
he looks great, I just wish he wasnt so pink
Fair!
There a reason he is pink
He is cursed in real how also
I love this figure but I can’t wait for the ragnarök figure. I wonder if it will have the cape.
True!
Hey uhhh not forcing but can I have a link
I think the complaints i see un the overall figure is the color of the beard, the eyes look too dark, and the golden partes of the Blades of chaos should be figure, but even with that it's really nice! Can't wait You to Review the third party versión!
I meant the golden parts of the Blades of chaos should be silver xd
Yep!
I want this so much I love god of war
He is dope!
His skin should be pale white and the beard black.
I also really really hope they do Thor and even Odin
That would be cool!
I wish they made his skin whiter though, and his beard also could be a little darker, still looks amazing though😅
Oh
How do you feel about the new 1/6 Kratos figure that was announced?
Cannot wait to get it
Great review but it hurt me the way you placed the axe on Kratos' holster
Why?
@@JustinsCollection In the game Kratos holster by the sholder of the axe like a hook.
It's a very unique way of doing it, but it looks bad ass
there's only one accessory missing...
THE BOY!
Yes!
Lamo
Now Mondo has to make a Thor!
Yes!
Omg its really nice
It is!
Looks awesome just like the game
Thank you!
Why he has no ashes on his skin?! that's a big miss for me rather that he's fine really nice detail on clothes and great sculpted heads. i have the 1/4 NECA Kratos and for me he's the best figure overall out there. nice review tho :)
He does. I think I need that 1/4
In the 2018 game looks like the ashes are dissapeared a bit....sorry for my english
Beautiful

really amazing

Sold out unfortunately I got mine off ebay
Bruuuuh
Ok so where can I buy this beautiful 1/6 figure :o wow
Sold out now unfortunately
I know it is out of stock now but is there a way to buy one?
