Spin Master has released a number of League of Legends figures based upon characters from the popular PC game over the last couple of years. I was recently given the opportunity to review one of these figures and jumped at the chance. I was asked to review Nasus, and I happily complied.
In all honesty, I’ve never played League of Legends and my knowledge of the game begins and ends with Jinx. I know that she is a popular character in the game and that I’ve seen a number of cosplayers dressed as her at multiple conventions. I’ll provide proof of this at the end of this blog. With my knowledge established, here’s what I want to say about Nasus: He’s awesome!
Nasus towers over all of my Marvel Legends 6″ figures and makes my McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse 7″ figures nervous with his 8″ stature. I count at least twenty-five points of articulation and only his feet and hands are hindered slightly by the armor that he wears. The figure comes with his War Axe and a League of Legends base that makes him suitable for display.
It’s pretty obvious that Nasus is based upon the Egyptian guide and guardian of the Underworld, Anubis. That’s the primary reason that I agreed to review this figure. He looks great. His paint applications are amazing and the details in his skin, armor, and face are great. I found only two issues with this particular figure. First, his knee joints are a tad weak and he doesn’t hold poses in which he is crouching for long periods of time without the assistance of his axe. I posed him crouching down one afternoon and he fell the next morning. I’ve since settled upon posing him standing up straight. Secondly, the pain apps on his axe included a couple of splotches. That’s my only complaints, however. The figure is ultimately a beautiful addition to my collection. He’ll be a great addition to your collection as well!
Thanks for checking out my post. Spin Master really did an awesome job with this figure. Oh, and I promised to show you proof that I’ve run into a number of Jinx cosplayers over the years at conventions. Well, below is a photo of myself and Currytime Cosplay as Jinx from CoastCon 38 way back in 2015!
