Action Figure #453: Star Wars the Black Series Jyn Erso(Re-release)

 The true suicide squad... which would make her Harley Quinn?

 And from one of my favorite female action figures, let's go to one of my least favorite... Jyn Erso. I hate most of what Kathleen Kennedy did with Star Wars, even if I've softened up to Rey and Kylo, but if there's one thing most of us can agree with... is that Rogue One was pretty good. Marvel humor not withstanding. So, of course I needed Jyn's action figure.

 Well, this is the rerelease, that was made with a better face sculpt.... and yeah, she does look like her actress. The figure is a bit boring in design, but this is how she looked in the movie, so there's not much to complain about. She comes with a blaster gun and a scarf.... which I quickly took off, I liker more like this.

 The articulation is par for the course with older Black Series figures. Single jointed elbows, but double jointed knees, ball-jointed ab crunch, no swivels on the arms... etc. She is a very short figure, much shorter than the Bucky Cap mold, she gives Luke a run for his money.

 But the real issue comes with her legs. These are the flimsiest and gummiest knees I've ever seen in an action figure. This was an issue with the original release, and they didn't fix it, so have fun trying to get her into fun poses. The one I had with her crouching? She can't hold it for too long!

 And then there are the elbows.. she barely hits 90 degrees with her bend, so there's not much you can do there.

 Another issue, which doesn't translate well to photos... is that the paint on her neck is quite noticeably different from the color of her head. It's a bit annoying to be honest.

 An absolute clunker of a figure. The rerelease should've been much better, but they were content with simply updating the head on a mediocre figure. Leaves a lot to be desired.
