Sonic 3 Shadow Articulated 5 inch Action Figure with Motorcycle

This variant of the JAKKS Pacific Shadow from Sonic 3 comes with the motorcycle featured in the film. He's less articulated than the other action figures, with hands that are permanently molded to grasp the handles, which makes him only good for posing on his motorcycle. He doesn't have the resin-plated eyes the other figures from this line do, which gives him a cleaner and more popping look. It's just a matter of preference whether that makes a difference to you. Personally, I thought it was odd they chose not to add the resin-plating when they had for all the other figures similarly sized, but I didn't mind it. The bike was a bit disappointing in the lack of details, but it comes with a kickstand and foot pegs. Balancing and posing the figure is okay. I think collectors would do better with purchasing a miniature of the bike from the movie and a different Shadow figure. Decent for display, bad for customization/ posing. But this is great for kids, or just to have if you're a huge fan of Sonic 3 and want to complete your collection.

this figure set is ~$5 more than the standard $15, 5-inch figures. while this Shadow is a little less articulated than the standard figures, you get a fine-enough motorcycle included in the $20 price tag. the motorcycle looks like a $5 add-on, frankly. not very detailed, and the pegs that the figure's feet attach to are flimsy,, and could snap off with heavy play. as a display piece it's perfectly fine. the figure himself is excellent. fits on the bike perfectly, can stand and pose by himself as well. very detailed for the price tag. all in all i would recommend. perfect size for playtime, detailed enough for a collector to enjoy
