It came from the Toy Chest: Damn Dem Wings!!

 

A $55 figure shouldn't require surgery before using. Sure, it cost me $38 and change with the Cyber Week deal at Entertainment Earth, but still! I shouldn't have to carve out stuck flashing inside the wing holes. With that complaint out of the way, let's talk Ace Duck: Duck, Pilot.

He say humanoid duck that happens to be a pilot. An ally of the turtles who can fly anything that has wings. Personally, He'd be the no-nonsense pilot for the Neftyverse iteration of the Mighty Mutanimals. Heavily inspired by the IDW roster, but with certain changes. More on those on a different rant.

Ace is very patriotic.
Saluting and placing a hand over his heart as he listens to the Anthem of his people.

Articulation:

He has standard Articulation for an ULTIMATES figure by Super7. The 2-4 additional wing PoA are optional, since the wings are a bitch to plug in and if you put him on the wingless jacket, he has no wingholes for the wings to be plugged in. There seems to be an issue with his hands popping off while posing. Thr tail also pops off way too easily.

Ducks are awful at using Healing Magic...
It has nothing to do with the review but it is a duck fact.

Paint and sculpt:

The NECA figure towers over this one. It's weird. Personally, I feel that the color choices for this figure were wrong. The Browns on the jacket are way too bright the guns don't have this metallic gray look but a weird slate colored plastic. They look off putting. Perhaps painting jacket, had and guns could make them look as much better. I love the alternate head with the pilot cap and the cigar.

Ducks are known to be rapists...

As I mentioned earlier, the wings and hands are causing issues. The bandolier can be a nit of a hassle at times... but he has plenty of stuff.

There are underground duck races in Shenmue 2...
It's not related to the... wait a minute, why is Ace holding a soda can like he was Ryo Hazuki?
Holy crap! Ace is Dressed like Ryo Hazuki!! Neftyverse's Ace is gonna get sweaty!!

5.0

Overall:

Ace gets a 4.33 as his final score. While he shouldn't have had any issues. Ignoring them, would still make him a weak figure. Being smaller than a NECA 1:12 Figure while Ace is 1:10 scale feels like a rip-off. He's not exactly a bad figure, QC issues aside. The problem is that he's not a Good figure either. He's average at best. Sure the extra head makes him a bit cooler but it almost feels like he was phoned in. Then come in the hands and wings falling off by looking at them wrong and he begins to slip into bad territory. Buy at your own risk.
