It came from the Toy Chest: AoA Rogue

 

Not my Pic. Mine had
Damage on the window.

I missed out on most of the Colossus AoA wave but only managed to find Rogue. Rogue was one of the few AoA figures I had as a Teen at the tail end of the "dark ages" Back when Kay-Bee Toys stores had a 3 for $10 in Marvel figures in Puerto Rico. (I believe in the US it was more figs for $10). Well one of the many figures I snagged during that time was the AoA Monster Armor Rogue. 

Seeing the AoA Rogue brought back memories. Sadly no one has made customs of Monster Rogue. I got her on a whim. She's been sitting on the to review list for a long long time. But Christmas is Already... ixnay on that asephray otherwise eftynay will eferenceray enmueshay.

Articulation:

This Rogue, unfortunately sucks Ass here.

She can barely spread her legs apart.

Trying to recreate the Toybiz pose was a massive fail, for she cannot have a wide legged pose.

Then come the engineering issues:

Her ankle peg is a bit too long and feels too brittle. I already mentioned how her crotch blocks wide legged poses, despite having enough clearance in theory. The engineering drastically reduced the articulation range. 

The head has GREAT Articulation range... at the expense that her head doesn't properly fit on the ball joint and exposes the ugly neckjoint/ball peg.

So, unfortunately, that means her score here is:

2.5

Paint and sculpt:

She looks great though. No paint issues, a rather pretty sculpt although a bit spindly, but that has been an issue with Hasbro in these past few years. Sometimes they make beautiful female sculpts but suddenly they're afraid of making them look sexy.

4.0

Accessories:

Spare hands, Colossus Arm and spare hand.

They could've given her the cape she had on a few issues.

3.0

Overall

AoA Rogue gets a 3.17 as her final score. It's kind of underwhelming, but she's no longer taunting me with her slashed window box. Hopefully we'll see some monster armor customs.
