Devil May Cry 4 Play Arts Kai - Dante

This is the review of Devil May Cry 4 Play Arts Kai - Dante from the popular video games "Devil May Cry 4" produced by Capcom but this figure is produced by Square Enix Play Arts division.

The box...






Out of the box...




You will get all these;




The figure...




2 extra hands, 2 guns (or is it pistol?), the sword and that small gold color thingy is something useful for you to mounted the sword at the back of the figure....




First, let's have a look at the sword;




The details on this part is quite nice... but on the blade part, nothing special...






The 2 guns...






This is the usage of that small gold thingy I mentioned earlier...




You need to remove that middle gold button.....





And do this....




And there you are.... done... the sword is now mounted at the back....




The price of this figure is 4,500 yen (about SGD 71.00) and surely you will be happy to pay for it after realizing that this figure is in fact quite big in size.....slightly taller than the 1/100 MG Sinanju Ver. Ka





Size comparison with Figma Tsukasa, HG 1/144 RX-78 Gundam and 1/100 MG Sinanju again.....




Let's have a look at the figure.....











The sculpt and the detailing on this figure is brilliant....














Capcom name spotted here....




As you can see from the photos above... .the details is absolutely brilliant.... we love every inch of it.

Articulation is also excellent, you can do plenty of action pose and this kneeling pose is never a problem...




You can turn the head to left and right or you can do 360 degrees if you like....




Articulation on the arms and shoulder....





Articulation on the elbow....





The knee can bent nicely without a problem....




This is the maximum spread for the legs....




Just for fun I do this Kamen Rider Kick......




OK then... it's action pose time.....






And again for fun sake... this time around I decided to do some outdoor shooting...






Some posing with those twin guns....






And now, the cute sword....









Overall this figure may seems to be quite expensive but when you consider the size and the details, I guess in a way the price is quite decent to justify. However, we do have some minor complains and that is the extra/spare hands.... just a pair of them? it would be nice if they can give 2 or 3 pairs and lastly it would be an added bonus if they could also include 1 or 2 extra face expression.... if all that are provided... I can then say that this figure is totally awesome but as it is now, my personal conclusion is that this is a large size action figure, great for display, to big to play around with and the producer is too stingy for not giving additional extras that we mentioned earlier.

This is still a nice large size action figure though - especially if you are a big fan of Dante and Devil May Cry games....

  1. Bigger than a MG Sinanju, that, IS big.
    As expected from Play Arts kai, detail is the utmost importance (hence the price tag).

    And yes, an extra expression face would have been better.

  4. Well, I don't mind to give this away as one of the next gift for the next photography contest as this this is too big and it's kind of weird to have it on our display shelf coz he is the biggest amongst the rest... but then, I don't think you guys would want an item that is not new (already opened for review).
