Advent Calendar 13: Who you gonna call? Ghost Jaga!

L
ion-O's own Obi-Wan Kenobi in a way. This is the Jaga Super7 should've made from the start. But given how preordering via Super7 from Puerto Rico is a pain, exclusives like this are now now beyond my grasp. I lucked out on Ghost Jaga. I would've been super pissed if I had to rely on scalpers to get my Phantasmagoric Wisejaguarman. 

Thunderkittens are all I need now... but those will have to be bought via resellers and get raped in the process, as reputable sellers sold out their Thunderkitten stock. But this is a Jaga review not a "Nefty is mad at Super7 and their 2024 shipping to Puerto Rico bullshit rants that make a Mattel former guy very hard... Because he's been waiting for me 
 shit on Super7." Type of rant. You're welcome Ma'am! I almost mentioned his name... 
Jaga: Lion-O. Show me your Sword of Omens.
Snarf: Careful, Lion-O. It could be a trap. *snarf!*
Jaga and Lion-O: Shut up you fuck!
Snarf: I mean I'm no longer the nifty Background *snarf* decoration by Joe Amaro. Both me and Mumm-Ra have official *snarf* Super7 figures!


Articulation:
This is a redo of the previous Jaga. I'm worried about the fragility of the figure due to the pinless joints and the translucent plastic. The plastic Cape isn't that bothersome but I've learned to appreciate soft goods capes with Super7.
4.0
Lion-O: Here you go, Jaga!
Jaga: Why are you showing me that little thing?
Lion-O! Make it big and strong for me.
Snarf: You guys know this is *snarf!* sounding like a cheap dick joke?
Lion-O and Jaga: Shut up you fuck!


Paint and sculpt:
This is a repaint of the previous release but molded in translucent bluish plastic with painted elements to recreate the ghost version of Jaga. He also has a belt now In this area I have no complaints.
5.0
Lion-O: THUNDER! THUNDER! THUNDER! THUNDERCATS! HOOOOOOOOOO!
Jaga: Yes! You got it big for me, Lion-O! Yours is almost as big as mine.
Lion-O: But yours is much thicker Jaga.
Snarf: Ayo! Now this is sounding like a dick joke! *snarf!*
Lion-O and Jaga: Shut up you fuck!


Accessories:
Vertical hinge c-grips
Dramatic hands
"Judo chop" hands
Sword of Omens
Other sword.

I wish we had gotten a matching dagger version of the sword of Omens. I would have preferred an additional soft goods cape similar to the Obi-Wan Kenobi Force ghost robe. 
4.5
Jaga: Now, Lion-O! Have your sword touch mine!
Lion-O: mmmmmrrrrrnnngh! Jaga, why is my sword turning white?
Jaga: Your sword is young and in experienced. Let me hold it in my hands while you hold on to mine...
Snarf: I can't  be the only one *snarf!* that sees the phallic *snarf!* references in here!? Jaga's a fucking *snarf* groomer!
Jaga and Lion-O: Shut up you fuck!


Overall:
Ghost Jaga gets a 4.5 as his final score. I got lucky that my favorite version of the character happened to be a bit better in the paint department than the living version of Jaga. Theoretically speaking the living version should have been better but it is what it is I just got a better Spirit figure than a living figure.
