ThreeA Ashley Wood Adventure Kartel Ankou Newandria Police

And here we are, the final piece of the 3 way pack I got and supposedly the least wanted. But for the sake of getting the Black (Shadow Security) and Orange (NLCS) and don't want to try my luck with the blind box, plus it is cheaper per figure if I get the combine set, plenty of reasons to just "accept" it as it is.
Have came to learn that for everything 3A, you really never know what you'd get when you finally got the item in hand. And it applies aptly for this Ankou Version. When this version was first announced, it showed an Ankou garbed in baby blue suit. Not appealing for me actually. When I got it in hand, the final product turned out to have a deeper blue suit which look much better for me. Now I am glad I got the 3 way pack, no regrets.
A boot-bottom shot for those who are very interested... otherwise, it is just one of those details you may find nice to know.
And here is how the very initial Police Ankou looks like. This is the only picture of it released when the drop happens. Not very encouraging for me...
One final thing I must put in for these Ankous. They poses really really well. Even when standing on 1 leg, it can hold the weight itself without the need for any additional support. Other company should learn from 3A to make sturdy poseable figure. Most excellent!
The next Adventure Kartel figure I should be receiving is Fighting JC. Got all the versions and IMO is the greatest looking AK figure to be released yet. Should be early April but I hope he'll be here in February... I can hope can I?
