It's
Wednesday and you know what that means:
ToyFarce review!
This week, we're having a look at the
Stavros the Unwavering figure from the
Four Horsemen Studios, which was part of the
BigBadToyStore 25th Anniversary exclusive figures. Going through my backlog during the summer, I've had this figure for a couple of months and hadn't had given it a proper look until now. It's a glorious dragon warrior with soft goods embracing the
BigBadToyStore colors.
Like some
convention exclusive figures before him, the packaging of
Stavros the Unwavering does not bear any brand or logo of any line, he is not technically part of the
Mythic Legions line, even though he uses parts that we have seen before there. The
Mythic Legions line had
Aracagorr in the
Poxxus wave that was also a towering dragon warrior, but I was not into the
blue skin/scales color of that one. They later did a green one,
Sskur'ge, for the
Cosmic Legions line, but I would prefer my dragon warrior it to be '
Mythic rather than Cosmic'. So when they announced a black version of that ogre-scale dragon warrior, coinciding with the 25th anniversary of
BBTS,
that sealed the deal!

Stavros the Unwavering (
Stavros... is he Greek?) comes with
2 pairs of hands, a large
sword, a
mace, and
additional parts to put in his back to cover the peg holes if they are not used. It is a
heavy action figure, that can absolutely be used as a weapon and do some damage. The
paint on that figure is amazing, it has blue and purple highlights around its eyes that are subtle yet present. The
red soft goods tunic, to represent
BigBadToyStore, along with the symbol with the letters
BBTS hidden in it is a nice tribute. The tunic had wired edges and can be posed. In terms of
articulations, it doesn't move that much, like previous ogre-scale figures, due to its size and the shoulder pauldrons can get in the way, but he makes up for it with amazing sculpt, details and paint.
A beautiful homage!

Stavros the Unwavering is a worthy 25th anniversary exclusive figure and is still available at
BigBadToyStore.
