As promised before, here’s some of my photos and a short and simple review of this figure. Enjoy

This figure based on an original design by LighBLACK that appears to be a comic character. Actually this is the second release of Keni Uno, the first one is called Keni Uno in the mirror, but unfortunately I didn’t have it, but thanks to my friend @wijayasantoso, he gave me some pics so I can compare between those two. You can found the comparisons in the bottom part of this review.
Besides Keni Uno, there will be other characters as well that already announced through their website. Please do check them out HERE

Let’s start from the packaging box. It’s a very simple design, 2 piece black-white opened upward box with a highlighted details makes it looks really good. The figure is safely placed inside with a foam paddings.

Now, for the figure itself, it’s a 1/6th scale figure, and I must say, he looks really cool! I think all the parts of this figure are specially designed because none of it’s parts are generic parts.

These are all accessories that came with the package:
– Keni Uno figure with a red scarf wraped on his neck(it has wires sewed in it, so you can bend and shape the scarf)
– His big square-shaped sword
– A small knife
– A chained loop strap for the knife
– A cut-off finger piece with blood puddle
– and A clear transparent mask

Like I said above, this is the second release version of Keni Uno. What makes it different compared with the first one( Keni Uno in the mirror )?
Actually there are some differences, and they are:
– Keni Uno in the mirror has a grayscale color details and darker, while the new one have more colors(dominantly red). +1 for the new Keni Uno.
– Keni Uno in the mirror has a less detailed belt, so a +1 for the new one Keni Uno.
– Different box design. Keni Uno in the mirror got an illustration on it’s box plus also came with a poster and a signed card by the artist, while the new one doesn’t. +1 for Keni Uno in the mirror for exclusivity value.
– Keni Uno in the mirror only came with his sword, that’s a really big minus compared to the new one which comes with lots of accessories inside. +1 for the new Keni Uno.
– Keni Uno in the mirror’s mask is colored(red with yellow dots pattern), while the new one is only clear transparent. It’s quite scary actually, but in a cool way. But I still give a +1 for Keni Uno in the mirror.
– For the cut-off finger details, Keni Uno in the mirror, it’s his left hand while on the new one, it’s his right hand. Equal points on this, what can I say? They’re mirrored.
– Keni Uno in the mirror came with an older version of hand and feet joints, in some cases, it breaks, especially if we’re forcing it for quite extreme dynamic poses, that’s why they sent a new joint replacement just like the one in the newer version. Definitely a +1 for the new Keni Uno.

That makes the scores are 4-2 for the new Keni Uno, but for me both of them are awesome and got their own uniqueness. It’s all up to you which one is better.

Overall, and as a conclusion from me, this new Keni Uno is definitely a super awesome figure, I really love the unique looks of it. But I’m still not quite sure about the durability of the parts, especially the joints on the body,somehow I always got the feeling it’ll crack or break. And they’re easily loose. Because of that, for now, I won’t push him too hard for extreme poses.

So, here goes;
