Alopex is my favorite new character discovery in a long time. When this toy was first announced a few months ago, I had never heard of her, but I was immediately interested because I love fox characters. In the time since, I have read a handful of issues and have become quite a fan. Alopex is a mutated Arctic Fox (sometimes known as Alopex lagopus) who first appeared in TMNT Micro Series #1: Raphael (2011 IDW). She is generally an antagonist working with the Foot as Shredder's personal assassin. But she has a romantic connection with Raphael that plays on her allegiances. The first story I read of hers was wonderful. She reminded me of an amalgamation of several favorite characters (namely Elektra from Marvel Comics and Jinx from G.I.Joe) but unique in her fox appearance and cunning viciousness. This BST AXN figure is the Target Exclusive deco with red facepaint (the standard version is blue). I think she's amazing and I can't wait to get both to display both heads. Let's check out Alopex below!
Alopex comes with two heads, a pair of sickles, three pairs of hands, and removeable tattered cloak.
Here are two shots of Alopex without her cloak.
Alopex also comes with a Collector's Card.
There is another version of this figure with Blue facepaint, Blue wraps and boots, and a Brown cape.
I think this is the standard version that should be in most stores.
Time for a Comparison Pic!
Cheers!
