Kinda cool actually, but I have no use for this character personally. The 7 points of articulation would have been far too few even if I were. I really wish TBLeague would experiment making more animals and monsters seamless.

It's even worse than that -- it really isn't even a reasonable 7 points.  I mean, "arms, wrists, ankles and waist," but eg the wrists just turn (which results inevitably from swappable hands) but there's no bend.  The arms just rotate -- it could at least have been a ball joint.  And so on.

Man, they are really abusing their own "Power Pose Series Brand."  Here there is no Power, there is no Pose.  The meaning and the selling point of the Power Pose brand with their Iron Mans etc was supposed to be that the figure came packaged with pre-posed parts, to allow specific fixed poses that might not otherwise be possible, and this capacity was a trade-off for a lack of full articulation.  None of that applies here -- the only pose swap is the hands.  "Power Pose Series" now just means "unarticulated."  I have no doubt the skin texture etc will be visually impressive but I never thought I'd see a HT that is outperformed in articulation by a $10 Hasbro Shampoo Bottle figure.  I understand the limitations but they could have done better -- apart from maybe the neck, there's no real reason this has to be so far underarticulated compared to a HT HUlk, for example.

Truer words were never said. It is disturbing how often companies make shortcuts where it comes to articulation. I know it complicates design and makes costs a little higher, but articulation is the point here -- or should be. And here we are talking about the main figure in the set, not an accessory like Soo Soo Toys' baby in the set I just reviewed or Grogu in those various Mandalorian sets by Hot Toys. As for "Power Pose"... I suppose "pose" is singular, so they are technically justified in having little or no articulation.

I guess they didn't really know how successful the film was going to be; and they couldn't really market the figure on the Sylvester Stallone connection (voice); so they hedged their bets, and went for Visual only, no efforts towards articulation.

I liked him well enough in the movie, not enough to grab him though. What happened to the orange pants that were showcased last month with the prototype? I guess this is very bare bones haha, 1 pair of pants, 6 hands and a book.

This is so bizarre, lol. Not seen the the movie though, so probably lacking context. 

The only character I'd be interested in from these films is Rick Flagg. But only because I'm totally in love with Joel Kinnaman and dying to have a figure of him....

Kinnaman is a great actor, loved him in altered carbon and for all mankind as well.

Yes, and yes. I've been a big fan of him since The Killing. 

There definitely needs to be a 1/6 figure of him...

YES and "same here!" to all of the above!

There already was (sort of) a figure of Joel:

oh, neat, I thought I had seen a version before, but wasn't sure. Thanks for the link. Looks like it was a 2017 version based on Rick Flag.

I had no idea! And it's in-stock, too!
But... there is something off about it. And it seems to be key to why I've swooned over him. It might just be the overly tanned look of this figure. It is recognizable... A year or so ago I actually whined on their facebook page about wanting a figure of him.

OK, the more I look at him the more I like him... but I just want the sculpt! And I prefer the Altered Carbon look.
That's a no then.

I'm with you on that Diana -- I'm glad someone made a figure of him, after all, but the sculpt is a little off. He is very unique looking, so I can imagine his likeness will be hard to capture accurately, but still...hopefully will be another at attempt at some point!
