This is no longer being produced. You can only buy it second-hand. I've seen them on eBay and Mercari. They're usually priced about $200+.
DX9 K1 Freeman "Overwatch" Bastion
There are two different box packaging for this action figure.
Google Translate says the text in the top-left corner of the front of the box says “Widowmaker”.
A review of a figure purchased through Taobao says the company is “Zhongqu Toys”.

FanZao Studio "Overwatch" Widowmaker/Black lily

This is also listed under “Hot Toys”, “Play Arts”, and “Figma”.
A lot of the Figma listings on AliExpress are actually this toy. They'll usually display one or two images of the Figma figure, but then show the HaoCaiToy figure.
(Note: There IS/WAS an actual knockoff Figma Reaper being sold. I have only managed to find one on eBay. The color of the print on the box packaging is very slightly off from the genuine. The hood piece scaling is off [small], so it doesn't properly fit in the pe...
The paint on the figure is sticky and smells. The coat tail is sculpted weirdly.
The posing stand is strapped to the back of the box via blister pack. I have no idea how well it works because I don't want to destroy the box to pull it out.

HaoCaiToy "Overwatch 1" Reaper Action Figure

This is also listed under “Hot Toys”, “Play Arts”, and “Figma”.
As with the Reaper figure, a lot of the Figma listings on AliExpress are actually this toy. They'll usually display one or two images of the Figma, but then show the HaoCaiToy.
The action figure is about a half-inch smaller than the official statue. Its arms are longer than the statue's because of the ball joints used in the elbows and wrists and the scaling of the bracers on the forearms.
The chronal accelerator harness straps on the legs limit how high the legs can be posed. The straps are also somewhat delicate and will break from attempting to force dynamic poses.

HaoCaiToy "Overwatch 1" Tracer Action Figure

I think this is about half the size of the Lego Overwatch Bastion 75974.
In turret mode, it sits at about 4.5 inches. In recon mode, it sits at almost 5.5 inches.
It's maybe about an inch too short to scale to the Funko Overwatch 2 3.75-inch (1/18th scale) action figures. I only have an open-box Tracer and she's a head shorter than the MOC Bastion.
The build instructions have to be downloaded through QR code, some parts pictured aren't clear enough, and they do not include turret mode configuration instructions. (The listing picture made it pretty easy to figure out how to though)
You basically just dump all the bags out as parts aren't numbered in the instructions. Some of the orange parts are supposed to be red. There is one piece that needs to be shaved down as it's too wide to slot into place.
Honestly, if you have a bunch of Lego parts then it might be easier to find someone's MOC instructions and build one out of them yourself.

There are multiples of this on eBay at various prices. I got mine for $72.
These are a non-noise canceling, on-ear headset. I'm not an audiophile, but I thought the audio sounded okay for an unofficial product. The bass wasn't deep, but the audio overall wasn't too tinny.
The headset does not fit securely on the head. It will slip off if you look down.
The headband is a soft, molded rubber piece that is removable. I haven't done a wear test on it, but it didn't seem uncomfortable during the initial try-on. You'll want to ensure you wipe down the headband after each use otherwise the oils of your ha...
The ear pads/cushions are flat, thin foam. You'll definitely want to look into making some sort of fabric cover or cushier pads. Making the ears cup instead of sit on the ear might help with securing it.
I haven't tested the battery life yet. The headset I received had a 70% charge.
As there is no app for it, the lights only have one setting (solid light).
