JTA reader Richard R. has found a few Rogue One figures and spent some time checking out the interchangeability with The Force Awakens action figures as well as details about the quality of Jyn Erso. Check out his report.

    



A grouchy but fundamentally upstanding janitor in Bloomington, IN has found three Wave 1 figures from this line at his local Kroger, and would like everyone to know about the find, assuming contributions are accepted from persons who write about themselves in the third person. The find:

Jyn Erso 1 (Eadu)
Kanan filonitrooper
Sabine removable helmet

pictures of Jyn follow. as you will see, it is basically a nice sample, but has a problematic chin. ( I leave formulation of any Jyn's chin jokes to you...) this appears to be a mold seam issue that likely will vary from individual copy to individual copy.

the helmet is fixed, but the translucent breathing apparatus (mask/hose/bottle) is removable from the neck by removing the head. however, the o2 bottle, although a separately molded piece, seems to be glued down, which is unfortunate because its size forces her left arm to be awkwardly far forward all times, something that exacerbates any limited posability concerns and also looks weird because her sleeve is not sculpted to hang at this angle. on the plus side, however, she can be made to wear the device in a way that's convincing from the front. still, I expect many will for removal.

nevertheless, the overall effect is of a fun and good figure by today's 3.75 standards, not at the Ackbar level but most definitely respectable if the chin issue is rare or corrected. I predict that anyone who can tolerate 5 POA and likes the subject will enjoy the figure.

best, and thanks for the site,

Richard
