I went ahead and got the Korg Highmountain figure because I wanted something big and imposing to adorn my shelves, and minotaurs are as good as it comes in my opinion–strong, honorable, intelligent, they’ve got feelings, they’ve got muscle, and they have horns.
So being a WarCraft fan I decided it’d be just as appropriate to get a Tauren figure, and that’s what I did. It arrived here just a few minutes ago, and after opening it and setting it victoriously on my primary display shelf, my overall rating is four stars for the following reasons:
Pros I’ve found:
- He’s big. And he is imposing. He’s also heavy.
- Very well detailed–I’m not a major figurine collector or anything, I got him just because I thought it’d be groovy, and I have to say he’s very nicely detailed.
- Removable weapon. By removing the thumb of the left hand, you can insert his boomstick (or any other similarly sized weapon, object, tree trunk–etcetera) into his mighty paw, and replace his thumb to hold the object in place. As one reviewer already mentioned, it does seem to want to pop out, but it hasn’t done it to me yet. Just takes some effort in getting everything situated just right so it doesn’t want to pop out.
- Big and imposing. Really, I turn my head and look up at the shelf, and he just steals the spotlight. Pretty cool for an action figure.
Cons’ I’ve found
- Static. No, he doesn’t shock you–well, actually, his size did shock me–but I mean he doesn’t move. There’s no adjustable parts on him except for the removable thumb. This surprised me in a way, because I have an Orc Shaman figure by the same makers (I think), and you can rotate his forearms to a degree, allowing for a little bit of custom posing. But here, nope, nothin’.
- Medium Quality Rifle; it certainly isn’t the center piece of the display, but I was rather taken aback by the quality of Korg’s boomstick/sythe. It’s quite light, and has a rather visible seam for me, but oh well. Certainly not too terrible.
- The Stand. By this I mean a black oval-shaped disk with two pegs sticking out of it, onto which Korg is supposed to stand in a threateningly awesome manner. Sadly not for me however, as the pegs are misaligned, and do not properly reach the other hole in Korg’s hooves. Poor bloke.
All in all, a very groovy model I’d say. He really is an awesome figure just to have in general I think, and aside from those few minor issues, there’s nothing really detracting from the model to the point of abandoning it. If you like minotaurs or Tauren, and are considering getting the figure, I’d say go for it.
Also, I’ve given this ‘toy’ a very high rating for educational value, because I’m a weightlifter, and Korg here promotes physical fitness. Hoorah.
