Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Even for the most ardent Gears fan, it's asking a lot to purchase all NECA GoW figures, but this Raam and Kim pack is one of those worthy buys, because the characters and their story are so interesting. I'll admit that Raam was greater reason for my purchase, due to the fact that the Kim figure is just the Blair figure (which I already have) with a bald Asian head. Nonetheless, Kim is still a very welcomed addition to my Gears squad.
Just like with previous figures, Raam and Kim are solidly built with some (limited) articulation. Customers of NECA should already know that NECA sacrifices articulation for realism, not that big a problem by my books. And as with previous GoW figures, the paintjob is tip top.
Regarding weapons, this twin pack comes with the Lancer and Gnasher shotgun for Kim, and the Troika heavy machine gun and knife for Raam.
I've knocked one star off because, as mentioned, Kim is just a re-issued Blair figure with a different head. Also I don't like the neck joint on the Kim figure, it's too high up on the neck and too conspicuous, thus it looks like Kim has his neck sliced. NECA could have located this joint much lower, around the collar, to make it less conspicuous.
Pairing Kim with Raam in a twin pack obviously makes sense for those who've play Gears 1. If Raam and Kim were released separatly, I may not have purchased either one; I think NECA figured that the Kim figure by itself wouldn't have sold well.
