![]() The head is also even more locked-down than before as his hair keeps him from really being able to turn his head. If he had a joint at the base of the neck, this could be worked with, but alas he does not. Goliath’s body was sculpted to be in attack mode, so his head isn’t really positioned in a casual manner making it look a bit awkward. ![]() Once the head is replaced, the look is complete and it’s…okay. There are two pegs on the rear to slot into the figure and these basically just keep things together. They’re a soft, flexible, material, but still feature the same paint and detailing as the open wings. To put them on, you need to pop off the head and wings from the Goliath figure and then just drape it over the shoulders. This is a casual, walking around, look for Goliath and has the bonus of reducing the amount of space he takes up on a shelf. Also referred to as caped wings by the fandom, these are for the Goliath figure and are posed as the character often did in the show by hooking them below his chin like a cape. What collectors are really intrigued by is the last accessory: Goliath’s closed wings. And I wish they’d add neck articulation to the other figures. Because of his design, Bronx isn’t going to be super dynamic, but I think NECA did a good job here of getting articulation into this figure without sacrificing really any of the aesthetic. Past that, his feet are done in the same fashion as the front ones with ankle hinges, rockers, and toe hinge and rocker. His rear legs are affixed via ball joints just like the other gargoyles and he has knee joints that move very little as they’re always intended to be bent. The torso has a rubbery overlay, indicating that NECA intends to do more figures in this style down the road, which does kill whatever torso articulation is hidden underneath that. His legs can spread out wide and kick forward and back. His front legs are joined to the body via ball-hinges and he has “elbow” joints, ankle joints, and toe joints. He also has plenty of tilt and he’s very expressive in that area. His head is on a double ball-peg and it’s reinforced with another ball peg at the base of his massive neck so he gets terrific range looking to the side as well as up and down. For one, Bronx has articulation at the jaw so he can open and close his mouth and look a bit more fearsome, if need be. Give him a follow on Twitter, especially if you’re located in the US north east.Įven though Bronx stands on all fours, he’s articulated in a very similar manner to his line-mates in some ways, but he’s also different in others. Or, you get a friend like I did in who came through for me again with a Bronx! That’s three figures he helped me acquire so a very, hearty, “Thanks” are in order for him. Also unlike Demona, he was never put up for order on Target’s website so those who want him have been forced to trek to the store in hopes of catching him on a shelf. Unlike his line-mate, Demona, Bronx appears to have shipped in rather large numbers. Unfortunately, he also arrives as part of NECA’s Haulathon event, a gimmicky collector event taking place at Target that should be over by now. And not only is Bronx here all on his own, he’s also got something for his buddy Goliath that collectors of this line have been begging for. Bronx, the good gargoyle dog, is NECA’s fourth entry in its relatively young line of action figures based on the beloved Disney Afternoon series Gargoyles.
