Even though I did not buy it here, I did pick one up in a specialty store. The Nendoroid itself is absolutely amazing to have. I added it very recently to my collection when I found while out shopping. I couldn't resist the price and finding a physical, authentic one was better than buying it online. This figure is very well done and well designed for being the first Nendoroid created (based off numbering 001). The figure was very smooth as it should be, and the paint was spot on. There was no awkward discoloration and none of the paint had run on other pieces. One of my favourite things about this Nendoroid is the fact that his ears, the tip of the sword, and the swinging effect piece were all sculpted to a very fine point. He only comes with a few accessories, contrary to most Nendoroids now, but it works for a simple character like Toon Link. He comes with his sword, shield, swinging effect, and an extra pair of bent legs, along with the standard stand pieces. I must commend GSC for the detail that they put into him considering that Toon Link has such a simplistic character design. Things like the swirl in the end of the hilt and the fact that the triforce on the shield is slightly pushed out from the rest of the shield are some of the things that make this a great figure. Keep in mind that, even though Nendoroids are meant to be small, there are extremely small pieces to be careful with. The sword is inserted into the hand via taking off the end of the hilt and sliding it through the hand, and the piece that slides the shield into the hand slot is detachable as well. Also, the piece that adapts the foldable stand piece for the back can come off. That shouldn't be a problem however, as long as these pieces are kept track of. I would definitely recommend this, not only for LoZ fans, but also figure collectors, considering it is Nendoroid 001.
