DYNASTY WARRIORS: Lu Bu and Zhang Fei


This is my first review for "DYNASTY WARRIORS: Lu Bu and Zhang Fei"



This guy is Lu Bu from Dynasty Warriors. If your not familiar with Dynasty Warriors, it's a video game from Play Station 2 I think. The game consists of mainly famous Chinese Warriors from their era. What they're fighting for I do not know since I do not own a PS. :)
The box is pretty neat. The only thing I noticed is the maker of these toys. I bought this in a grocery store by the way. The maker of the toy is "Takara Towy" clearly a knock off of the original Takara Tomy line, though this one is not clear to me if Takara Tomy really made Dynasty Warriors toys.



So here is the toy in the unboxed state. Pretty neat for a knock off. It stands around 6 inches fairly the same size of an SH Figuarts toy.
It's made with plastic, no die cast parts. There are no perfect toys right? I've got an issue here with the toy's head. I'm going to talk about it later. Let's go on to the articulation. It has 4 points of articulation. The Head rotates 360 degrees, the shoulder rotates 360 degrees as well but the shoulder pads hinder the rotation. The shoulder is secured via pegs that connects to the body. The waist rotates 360 degrees.

Let's proceed to the accessories. There is only one accessory for this figure. I don't know what this is called but it is a staff with a sharp point.

This is what I am talking about. You can't really see his head completely. The head is poorly scaled so if you're going to look at it in this side, the head is covered by the shoulder armor. But to sum it off, though we got some negative feed backs, it is still a good find.
The character's name is Zhang Fei also from the Chinese company Takara Towy. Have you seen a black Chinese? Not being racist or something but I never seen a black Chinese guy before :) 




This is Zhang Fei out of his box. The color scheme is identical with Lu Bu, yellow and brown. They also got almost the same, a long staff with a pointed end.

There are 8 points of articulation. The head goes 360 degrees, the shoulder can go up and down and rotates 360 degrees as well, there are elbow joints that can go 90 degrees each and the waist goes 360 degrees.

The Chinese market offers you lots of items it a very cute price. Toys, accessories every thing and any thing that you can think of.  So if you want to have a unique collection, you can buy it in any grocery shops, malls and other stores that offers cheap items.
