Action Figure #493: Star Wars The Black Series Dryden Vos

 His next heist: Getting an Infinity Stone.

 Yes, yes, another Solo: A Star Wars Story figure, sue me, it's not even the last(Spoilers!). Dryden Vos was another character I liked from the movie. In fact, as I was watching it, I looked up if he had an action figure made... and he did! So next thing I did was buy it. Luckily, Solo bombed, so I got him for cheap! 

 For starters, the likeness to the actor is really good, so no complaints there. They went for a rather neutral expression on his face, which works for the character, as it was one of his two moods... the other one was being really angry. The rest of the figure is sculpted really well... even if he has a hole in his chest, where the tie is supposed to be. Why is it there? Who knows. He has half-a-jacket-half-a-cape soft plastic accessory that looks really good... but remove it and he ends up looking rather weird. He comes with his two knives, but... there's only the tiniest tinge of red on their edges, while in the movie they were proper laser knives.

 Articulation follows the older Black Series schema, double-jointed knees and thigh swivels, but single jointed elbows and no bicep swivels. No butterfly joints, and his ab crunch is on a ball joint. He can hold some mean poses, but his jacket/cape does get in the way. He is as tall as Bucky Cap.

 This is how he looks without the accessory. His neck ends up being too long, and his torso too thin. Since the cape is held on through a sleeve on the right side, you can just pose around it. It may look a bit weird but not as weird as he looks without it. 

 He is actually a rather fun figure. He looks like a proper villain, and captured the character really well. A rerelease with a proper soft-goods cape/jacket would do wonders for him.
