3A Ashley Wood Adventure Kartel - Fighting JC Tracky Boss


One of my most anticipated figure from Bambalandstore. Order for Fighting JC were on 15 Oct 2010 and I had ordered all versions available - Fighting JC (Regular), Tracky Boss, Mauro + Blind Oracle Zomb and finally, 3AA Exegesis which Ash graciously opened for the public to purchase (ie non-3AA members) to purchase on the final hour of the sale. JCs arrived on 24th Mar 2011 and 159 days to be exact.
Chose to start the series off with Tracky Boss which together with Mauro twin pack were fleeting drops ie now you see it, then you don't. And it appear again, and gone again kind of drop. The way to go in order to get these "fleeting drops" are keep punching on your refresh, of F5 key on your keyboard. When it appear, you still need to have fastest fingers cos it can jump right out of your cart while you are doing the payments procedure. Adrenalin is pumping definitely but I got 1, that is what that matters.


JC spot the same body as any other 3A 1:6 male figures and it kept it's very sturdy joint quality that I really welcome. Posing possibilities are endless and standing on 1 leg (totally without external support) is totally achievable as shown in these pictures. Simple figure with a few accessories and with the usual weathering. Only thing I hope 3A/Ashley Wood would consider is to have more shoes/sneakers options or design. Realize this addidas are often used. My HTK Soh spot the same shoes albeit in another color.


Tracky Boss looks cool with his Track Jacket zipped up. Sleeker that way and leaner for the fist fight. The scar across the nose is another nice touch. Blood stains are standard and the same stain (with the same shape and size) appear in the same location throughout every JC's versions.


Finally, one of the few accessory - the Zomb (Ver 4.0) severed head sit snugly in JC's drop pouch. Having a head(sculpt) as part of an accessory for a 1:6 figure set is something new. Only 3A does it on a constant basis having only Hot Toys (Perseus with Medusa's head) that has done it on 1 occasion IIRC. Cool accessory I wouldn't trade it for anything else. Thoroughly enjoys the picture taking session with Tracky Boss and hope to be able to upload the Regular JC here soon.
