With The Witcher gaining immense popularity on multiple platforms – books, video games, and now a Netflix series – fans of this rich, immersive world have been eagerly hunting for tangible relics from Geralt of Rivia’s universe. One such item, the MCFARLANE The Witcher Kikimora action figure, is a fantastic addition to any Witcher collection.

To begin with the positives, the grotesque and horrifying look of the Kikimora has been excellently captured by McFarlane Toys. Its spider-like legs, movable and rotatable from several points of articulation, add to its overall hideous charm. The designers have been faithful to the aesthetics of the creature, making it a wonderful collectable for enthusiasts and a spooky addition for anyone who appreciates scary knickknacks.

The detail on the Kikimora figure is commendable, especially considering its price point. It has a sense of realism that you’d expect from higher-end models, illustrating that the company didn’t skimp on the small touches that make all the difference. Moreover, the head of the creature can be swapped out, allowing owners to recreate a kill scene if they have a Geralt figure, adding an extra layer of interactivity and playability to this toy.

However, despite its strengths, the MCFARLANE The Witcher Kikimora isn’t without its flaws. The very element that adds to its visual appeal, its numerous articulated legs, feels somewhat fragile. There’s an underlying fear that they could snap at any moment, making it somewhat challenging to set up the figure in various poses.
