Jhiaxus is such a legit figure…
Yeah, the alt mode is a little odd, but he’s right up there as one of the best figures I’ve purchased in the last few years.
Normally my opinion/like of a character can influence how much I like a figure, but in this case, that doesn’t weigh in at all…
Which says a bit more in favor of this guy.
For me he’s an example of a figure who is also appealing because he’s a bit unique, & just different enough without being wacky, cheesy, or goofy.
I’ll also mention again, this is a solid voyager class figure, & this level of quality should’ve been standard even a few years ago…
Any more talk of “It’s just the norm for figures not to have forearm panels…” is BS.
I get that it was common, but Jhiaxus is decent in size/use of plastic, has some good if not great sculpt work, paint apps, engineering, articulation, is packed with two weapons… AND has forearm panels.
Someone said forearm panels would require pins, which then require the metal & the production process, blah blah blah… I never believed that, but clearly pins aren’t necessary.
The main point is this is what I’d call a very, very good figure.
If you’re like me & tend to buy figures based on your like/association of the character, this is one of those times I’d make an exception.
Jhiaxus is legit.
