STAR WARS – THE FORCE AWAKENS’ FINN ON JAKKU (2015 HASBRO ‘BLACK SERIES’)

SUMMARY:

Released in 2015 by Hasbro as part of its ongoing 6-inch ‘Black Series,’ this action figure closely resembles actor John Boyega as Finn.

REVIEW:

Sporting a top-caliber paint job, this  Finn ’s costume faithfully recreates his incognito post-Stormtrooper attire he wears on planet Jakku.  Curiously, unlike his molded sleeves, Finn’s jacket can be removed from the figure (with some effort), making it into a vest.  In terms of articulation, this Finn is solid. Specifically: 1. His head turns slightly in both directions.  2. His arms move only fairly well, but both the forearms and hands have full 360-degree mobility.  3.  The figure’s upper body can bend down into a bowing pose.  4. The legs are surprisingly nimble, as they can also rotate the full 360-degrees.  5. Due to flexible knee and ankle joints, Finn’s pose options (running, walking, kicking) are certainly available.  6. Though a display stand isn’t included, there are peg holes in the bottom of his feet for bases that will fit him.   

Considering all its practical advantages (including an impressive likeness to John Boyega), this sturdy Finn action figure is ideal for either playtime or as a display item.

ADDITIONAL CONTENT:

Although not seen below, this figure comes packed with a gold-and-silver-plated blaster, which frankly looks like a glorified power tool.

PACKAGING:

The figure is well-protected by Hasbro’s product box, which is decorated by Boyega’s image as Finn.
