Somehow this toy got made.
Poe Dameron was among the best and worst things about the Sequel Trilogy. He was a fun, new take on Han Solo's brash confidence, but... he was used,
wrongly, to prove Holdo right, and no matter how hard the movie tried, most audiences could tell that Poe was right all along... And he was also the guy that was given the lines 'They fly now?' and '
SOMEHOW Palpatine returned'. Poe deserved better, but the humiliation didn't end there...
For he was made into this pathetic action figure. Let's start with the most noticeable bit about him... he looks
nothing like Oscar Isaac, and the face looks
ridiculous. They also made him a bit shorter than he should, and also looks kinda
chubby. Sadly, his Nathan Drake look from Rise of Skywalker wasn't made into an action figure, as I feel that was his best design, but this is close second...
I think. He also comes with a small blaster.
Articulation is par for the course for older Black series figures. Double jointed knees and thigh swivels, but single jointed elbows, no bicep swivels and no butterfly joints. His ab crunch looks like a ball joint, but it's just a swivel, so his torso
can't perform even the slightest crunch. His elbows can
at least bend 90 degrees. He is quite a bit shorter than Bucky Cap.
It's hard to tell, but if you lift the jacket you can tell just how chubby he looks. C'mon, Oscar Isaac isn't ripped, but he isn't this chubby!
And then there's the face sculpt. If you squint a bit he maybe sorta looks like an underaged cousin of Oscar Isaac.
Maybe.
He's a horrid design, but considering Poe was given the worst lines in the ST, and that's saying something, but also the horribly dumb Holdo storyline.... is it any wonder they didn't even give hime a decent figure?
Justice for Poe!
