First Look at McFarlane Gears of War 4 JD Fenix Figure

Posted on April 29, 2016 at 8:27 am by Joe Moore under Video Game Toy News

Here’s our first look at the McFarlane Toys Gears of War 4 – JD Fenix Color Tops Collection 7″ Scale Figure. A prototype of the figure was on display at PAX East this past weekend. JD Fenix will be part of the Blue Wave in the Color Tops Collection. The figure will include 15 points of articulation, which include the neck, shoulders, biceps, wrists, waist, hips, knees, ankles and toes. We still have yet to see this articulation in action, so we’re not sure how poseable these will actually be.

The JD Fenix figure is scheduled to be released this Fall. We’ll update when further images are released. You can see the new pics by reading on.

    "We still have yet to see this articulation in action, so we’re not sure how poseable these will actually be."

    I appreciate Joe saying this because the last Spawn figure I got technically had around 12 points of articulation but only three were actually notable and to use them horribly broke the musculature of the figure. I still enjoy said figure (the last commando Spawn) as a display piece but on first glance this new figure looks like it might be heading the same route.

    I couldn't stand the 5 inch Walking Dead series due to all the joints in the figures, it just took away from how realistic Todd's older figures looked, and a few had various paint flaws like the skin color on the face not matching the neck very well to missing hair paint. So with any luck the 7 inch line will be painted and be sculpted as well as Neca's various lines and if so, I'll probably Ebay the deluxe figures I have and start collecting the 7 inch line. Not sure about the stands though. I think it would have been cooler if he went back to the type of stands some of his horror figures came with that were made to look like pavement or dirt or what have you.

    But one can't have it all.

    I wish NECA had gotten Gears back for this new entry because I've seen all the color tops figures so far and they don't impress. The sculpting is good because they're basically statues but the paint was really sloppy from figure to figure. One Rick I found had terribly lazy looking eyes while another had a deal of brown bleeding from the hair onto the figure's face. If these things aren't gonna have any articulation worth speaking of couldn't they all have the same at least good standard of painting.

    The Color Tops just haven't moved at all anywhere I've looked. Toys R Us, Target, FYE, all just sitting there. I will say that I finally saw one that almost impressed. The new Madison from Fear the Walking Dead that I saw actually had a pretty good paint job. The likeness was good, eyes weren't bad. If it had some real articulation I would have picked it up.

    It's weird in my area TRU just has Rick and Michonne but then Wal-Mart just has Madison and Travis. I think the only one that moved in my area was that somebody got a Michonne and I think it's because she at least actually has a good pose so if one has good paint too then it's not a bad deal for a small plastic statue. The Gears figures still hurt the most and they haven't even come out yet. Gears of War is one of my favorite series in games and the only NECA figures I got were the 3.75" releases.

    Wow McFarlane, thanks for providing 30 individual production photos of a figure with apparently two POA (shoulders?), all in the same exact pose.

    Same in my area...they're peg warming like mad. No shits are given about this line.

    McFarlane just can't get it right when it comes to articulation. The 5" figures moved decently enough but the actual articulation itself was piss-poor in terms of maintaining the integrity of the sculpt, especially with all of the ugly peg holes in the shoulders/hips/etc. Now, instead of evolving and improving like NECA has done, they're just going the statue route which so far - judging from the WD product clogging pegs at retail - looks like a massive mistake.

    McFarlane really needs to look at what NECA's doing in terms of consistently providing great, mostly-hidden articulation. But perhaps McFarlane is having money problems and can't afford to do that.

    To make the eyebrow raise further, the in package pic clearly has knee articulation, but not one of the other photos has that joint? You can see the cut and the peg in package, but somehow once you open it, it disappears?

    The packaging one, I'm guessing, is the pre-production version. Originally, JD was set to have 15 points of articulation.
