Irwin Hexadecimal

        Alright, okay, I'd been wanting a Hex for years and finally just.  Looked.  And bought.  Luckily she's one of the figures easily available and reasonably priced even with a far better card.  I suppose that may change depending on whether you're after the darker cape variant, but I saw one argument about whether those were on the original release or a later release and decided I didn't care.

        How the hell did I manage to wait so long.  It's surprisingly difficult to find the loose figure complete, so extremely damaged card but undamaged figure is fine.

        And wow is the card warped.  It'd be a shame if something were to hap--

        Excellent.  Since the bubble was already coming off the card, it was one very light tug away from being opened anyway.  I'm guessing all of that "venting" is why this might be the first figure in many years that had absolutely no smell out of the package.  Better than "plastic death", anyway.  Behold the emotions.

        It's a very simple figure, sure, with very limited movement.  From the G.I. Joe figures I have, I can tell that the joints have simply loosened a bit over time because properties of plastic differ, but I love her regardless.  She has a little bit of trouble standing on her own because of the loose knee joints, and the stand does... very little to help, because her cape acts like heavy fabric and keeps swaying at the slightest little thing, but I will find a way dammit.

        Something something perfectly innocent, I'm sure.  ...Nah, she doesn't even pretend, that's why I love her.  While there are plenty of tiny details missing, I'm happy about the face details and the claws.

        Maskless.  ...I am so, so tempted to see if I can't get a tiny LED light for this.  For reasons.

        Cape!  And the back.  And the very limited arm poseability, but  you know, that's fine.  Can't really see the--

        Yes, good, thank you.

        The "delete disk" is certainly a thing, and there's a little plastic tab at the bottom I have to sand off, but give me a little neon pink trinket and I will be grateful for it.
       Overall, I do adore her, I think the toy itself was worth waiting for, and while I desperately wish there were an updated figure... well.  "Unlikely" doesn't cover it, but it is incredibly nice to have her here.
