Jakks Pacific seems to have cornered the market on video game action figures. Their Nintendo (Mario) and Sega (Sonic) figures have been staples of the toy aisles for a decade. So it was interesting to see the first wave of Bendy figures last year. In short, I was unimpressed. The female character is the first assortment was Audrey, a new character introduced in 2022's (delayed) Dark Revival sequel game. This figure had awkward-looking articulation, a (too) blank expression, and glossy paint job that looked cheap. This was especially interesting because the last Bendy figure I purchased was this same character in a 2019 Wave from PhatMojo, which looked great (albeit with limited articulation). Luckily Jakks Pacific kept improving with every successive wave and the current figures on the shelves (Wave 3) look great. But, still, I think this figure is surprisingly lackluster from such a well-seasoned company (which is a shame since the character is pretty cool). Let's check out Audrey below!
Audrey comes with her Gent Pipe accessory.
Audrey also comes with a carboard Linker backdrop with attached figure stand.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
And here is Audrey with her 2019 PhatMojo figure.
Cheers!
