Action Figure #446: DC Direct Jericho

  Damn, those mutton chops ran outta style years ago!

 I don't remember if I mentioned it on this blog, but I've been reading the New Teen Titans... and through this little comic I met good ol' Jericho, Deathstroke's son! Being, what I feel, is a core part of the new Teen Titans, I needed his action figure!
 As with other DC Direct figures... they prioritized sculpt over articulation... and as far as sculpt goes, they knocked it out of the park. The yellows were painted gold, and the purples look metallic, which makes him stand out. He has his green-on-black eyes, which he had whenever he used his powers, which is a neat detail. His 'fro seems to have an orange wash. all in all, he is a good looking figure.
 But the articulation is a but limited. Legs go only back and forward, and while he has swivels on his feet, the feet are pre-posed, so it might be a bit hard to get him to stand and look badass. No waist swivel, and all his joints are single jointed. Y'know, par for the course. He is slightly shorter than Bucky Cap.
 He is a good looking figure of a rather obscure character. I honestly love how he came out, and he helps me complete my New Teen Titans team.... now I only need Donna...
