Overall is not an average.
While there is basically no place in my own collection for this figure, I appreciate it for all it has, and all it offers. It’s great for kids, and collectors alike. Lots of play value with the accessories, which in turn give it a ton of customizing potential.
It amazes me, and makes me wonder what Hasbro is thinking. We get a figure like this, in Wave 1. A wave that, except for a couple ninjas(which are reused ad nauseum), is dominated by inarticulate lumps of plastic. But I’ll take the gems where I can get them!
This is a really strong figure and stands out among its wave mates. In fact, it’s still pretty much a standout among much of the available line so far, when you consider that they’re releasing turds like Flint and Vegas-Strip-Neon-Sign-Street-Luge-Firefly, in Wave 2!
Again, this one was purchased for the review by Monkeywrench, but I have seen these in the wild before, for $10 at Target, and $9.96 at Wal-Mart, and in my neck of the woods, $11.99 at Toys R Us.
Great review! I’ve never seen these (or any other Retaliation figure) on Australian pegs.
I’ve said this before, but I really think this figure was meant for the 30th line or elsewhere and was repurposed into the movie line – that’s the only reason I can think of for the big disparity in articulation between this and any other non-ninjas in wave one.
