A quick trip backward
DX9 first announced the K1 Freeman at TFCON Chicago, a dedicated expo for Transformers fans where many third party companies announce or unveil their upcoming figures. The said toy company has no relation to Blizzard but has a promising touch on every action figure it produces by using good designs and the high-quality materials.
'Overwatch' reviewers take
The overall look of the action figure is perfectly accurate.
The colors are on point and have been perfectly muted to enhance its actual live presence. It displays the right stock skin colors for Bastion. One commenter noted that it looks like it is fresh off the line with Bastion Unit supplementing the original concept of K1 Freeman.
On the other hand, another commenter questioned the plastic color choice noting that the toy creator has had many color schemes from 'Overwatch' which they could have referenced.
Agreeing to the post, another one mentioned that a worn and weathered paint job would make it look better.
In the end, most of the "Overwatch" fans-turned-toy-reviewers are happy with the K1 Freeman action figure. Most of them are actually shocked to see the official look as the prototype did not do it justice.
Take a look at these K1 Freemans -- an unofficial Bastion figure made by DX9,
Looking majestic in a side view,
Still impressive for a cheeky pose,
That cannon is savage,
Very good looking robot,
For a more creative take,
And another,
This one is on point,
A bit higher but still flexin',
Is it a yay? Or a nay? Your thoughts? For more "Overwatch" news, go to this link.
