Action Figure #160: League of Legends Champions Collection Ashe

  Stay frosty.

 And then, the final LoL figure in my collection, Ashe. Did I save the best for last? No.
 The sculpt is... kinda awkward. She's got very long legs, but somewhat skinny arms, as a matter of fact, her proportions just look off. The cape and quiver can be removed, and I'd remove the quiver if I were you, otherwise she looks too... burdened. They had some neat ideas with her giant Ice Bow, the string is actually made out of string and everything, but... All the arrows that go in her quiver stay loose, so they love to fall off when I pose her. Now I finally understand, molded arrows inside the quivers are a much better idea.
 The articulation... is similar to Garen's. No arm swivels and no waist swivel, although at least she has a ball joint on the torso. That said... if you are not gonna give your figure swivels on the arms, then give them single jointed elbows so that they can get more range, SPECIALLY, if they are an archer. No bicep swivel means that you can't get cool shooting poses with her. Oh, and forget about turning her head or torso with the cape on.
 Ashe is... quite probably their worst figure. The proportions look off, the paint is very toy-like, the articulation is not good enough for the type of character... She's not a good figure.
