The character that proves that even as a background character you can make it BIG!
Quinlan Vos is one of those characters that has fanbase almost large enough to make him popular, but not quite, which probably explains why it took so many years to get made. Which is kind of a shame, since he is one of the most interesting Jedi designs of his era!
Well, I
love the guy's look, and he looks great in plastic. He does have a very interesting color scheme to his robes, all made up of greens, grays and a few yellows. And as
unique as his design was in the show, he'll also look great next to other Jedi figures. Using Hasbro's current engineering they gave him a layered look, much like the new Obi-Wan and Anakin, that just looks
phenomenal. About the only nitpick I have, is that for such a
laid back character, the look on his face is a bit too stern. But, really, as far as the sculpt goes, he gets top marks. He comes with his lightsaber and an alternate swishing blade.
Articulation is par for the course with new releases. Butterfly joints, a ball jointed waist, single jointed elbows and knees with deep cuts for great range, as well as swivels on his thighs that are, quite honestly,
useless. The robes are made of soft plastic, so he can move his legs just fine. Also, his hands are on the new ball-peg system.
The only issue I had is that his neck lies on a ball joint on both ends, and for some reason,
aligning his head with the neck is rather hard with him. He is almost as tall as Bucky Cap.
I really love how he came out. As far as Jedi and Sith are concerned, Hasbro is doing
wonders.
