On the sword, it's not serrated. In sword smithing, it's called hamon (刃文) (from Japanese, literally "edge pattern") That wavy line is a visible effect created on the blade by the hardening process. The swordsmith places clay along the back of the sword when quenching it so that the quench most affects the blade and least affects the back. This makes an exceptionally hard and sharp edge and a durable back.
@@Apunkwithtoys yeah but I too had the original Jinx from the 80's and personally I'd rather Jinx uses the double short Ninjatō swords rather than a long samurai blade that's normally worn at the hip.
Great review. I really think it's dumb when people don't want trigger finger hands on their ninjas, it's like they forget people like Storm Shadow and Jinx were first and foremost military *and then* ninjas.
You can tear small bits off the corner of a paper towel and put them in the hip socket to create more friction in the joint if her hips become loose over time. 👍🏻
We're talking about toys here, but that weapon is not something practical in real life. A naginata is a polearm with a long curved blade. This accessory qualifies for neither. At best, this is a double bladed spear (given the pointy end) or staff. You could call it a naginata or a pickle... neither are correct, but it sounds slightly less silly to call it a pickle.
They not a serration on the blade it’s called hamon which is a wave pattern that indicates the technique used to forge and quench the blade. It’s also like an artist signature.
My face Joe team member since 1987! And her file name was listed as CLASSIFIED so that would have been a nice touch if they left it that way for the packaging. Only wished she had the red polished nails!!!
Oh, that leg popping off like that is not good. Yours is the first review that had that happen, so I hope it’s an isolated incident. My first Low Light did that so I sent it back for another one. Second one has been great! But I hate to think we are back to the QC problems of late last year.
Love how she looks. I think there must be some weird safety compliance issue with the diaphragms. That should work just as well as the crunch. I managed to crank Scarlett’s pretty well after some very hot water, was pleased with that
If I’m not mistaken and someone in the comments may have mentioned but I saw that Jinx according to pulse releases next week for US preorders I canceled mines for this entire wave due to my experiences with the shifting dates and inconsistent ship schedules for US customers, some folks got RC BH from Amzn US two weeks ago while mine sat in order received since before mid May, and I put that order in not long after they went up for preorder. Hasbro pulse said 7/8 for Jinx but doc on the other hand is sept. I just canceled them on amzn and pulse and ordered from an individual who can ship sooner -all should arrive this month for this wave for me. I think the easier women to stand up are cover girl and both lady Jaye, and the first classified Scarlett but posing is a challenge for all of them and the arms are definitely a problem for CG Great jinx review too bad about the leg coming off.
Jinx is my favourite female character from G.I. Joe, I'm hoping for a retro card version because I'm not sold on this version yet, might change my mind if i see her in the stores. Don't like the tattoo on her, hope they paint her naiks on the retro carded version. The staff is called a Naginata. If the name was top secret to begin with i wish they would keep it that way. Could it be the hip pegs aren't long enough for her legs to come off so easily?
She is totally going to get a retro release…..at this point you can tell the figures they plan on doing retro releases of storm shadow V2 , doc and jinx I grantee all have retro card figures coming at some point
@@Apunkwithtoys it’s like the only reason they put flames on torch’s pants pockets is so later they can sell a card back version with out them and some other very minor changes. Or they put that grey pattern on the top of quick kicks pants and gave him a red back pack instead of a black one so they can change those two things and sell him as a card back figure …….im not buying every one twice over little silly things like that I just get the retro figures that there is actually a big difference between the two versions like Duke , scarlet beach head and reconndo but I’m not buying storm shadow because he’s one shade of a lighter white and has gloves instead of bare hands 🙄
They have been making the hip joints with more access to the ball joint. So you can take them off without heat. Look at lady jaye’s hips vs jinx or retro scarlett. Not sure if its a concerted effort to make the legs easier to take off or a byproduct of the new hip channel
Wish that was the red target exclusive chun-li. The superior female martial artist toy in red. 😊 Going to pass on this figure, but Retro jinx can't come soon enough! Can't wait.
Someone mentioned you had the same problem with the legs that I did. It happened as I’m recording and her right leg just comes off easily. Feels like it doesn’t fit in the ball joint properly Nice review!
great review bro as Hawk, I already have Nunchuk as commando ninja, and snake eyes commando [no sword, but wolf] and... red looks good, but crimson good, Cobra I d be more tempted green camo and adding guns, I feel the same about shooter I think they d rock green camo, not as they are. since they cost me about $45 Can.... I ll wait until they meet my taste I want an 82 - 83 + team, 20 agents max [Duke + Nunchuk] 80% green team, elite military I really appreciate your dio background, the figs, and the 3' ref, pro bro! yeah, it s a good point, gripping hands are a must, it s pretty good with joes, but legends need to wake up, Aunt May CANNOT go hunt green goblin with a bazooka with her hands like, she s born victim and argumenting is all she has, come on! I want her handing a machete when she s in a bad mood [lack of affection fem fanatic] and even guys, wonder man can only punch... really? he can t even drink? what s the wonder about? that s it? I m very impressed with the face sculpts and body line, it s beautiful, attractive, quality, art. I don t like tattoos, but it makes a cool particularity for a character, eh, it s a one position deal, it can t be helped. I can see you re good at posing, as you go straight to the ankles... that s the trick now, always go at the ankles, working them warms them up, and 'stick' better temperature makes them fall... on my dios, suddenly, after hours, days, they just fall... sun, or temp drops changes the friction. wow... ok, now my jaw drops seeing this, her legs just come off like that, no effort? cha ba duo! [good enough] Chinese expression, you ll remember this, as it can happen more and more now. without a strong world peace message in the community, nothing says you re not with the cowboy admins... qc is a favour, for a good friend or customer, know your Chinese history better or you ll be badly surprised. you d be surprised at how much they know about us, info is power... just leave a world peace message to improve upon our situation, team work, star trek is the future wise people are in charge, a bridge will be respected, you re in real joe business now bro. enjoy it, what? you thought you were a kid? duty calls. so now you know... good show bro
That’s kind of nit picky , stupid and silly people bitching about the tattoo thing 🙄 people act like they should get a hot toys quality figure for $25 they do have a budget when designing these figures and it has to be used accordingly. if they used extra paint apps to make her tattoo go inside her elbow guess what now something else has to get cut to keep her in budget so now she can’t have the extra head or now we have to charge more for the figure. People act like they are aloud to do whatever they want and just choose not to 🙄 for the price point and what you get these are the best figures on the market right now…….and people don’t seem to understand little paint apps are one of the more expensive things to do and why there always a bare minimum
My issue with the figure is the hips and legs are to slim and skinny. Women have wide hips. Even skinny women have wide hips. The pants should have been baggier. Because her legs are so skinny the legs look too long. I hope they correct this with a retro carded version.
That short hair makes her look like Juliette Lewis from “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape” which is a good movie but not good look for Jinx. Second thing, thoes knee joints look like crap, but still not horrible like Marvel Knights Dare Devil. Maybe we get retro version that looks like it should!

Might have to try this.
I'll wait for the retro version.
That's a rad shirt you're rocking Punk.
I personally think the portraits for most of the female figures leave a lot to be desired.
Great review!
Thank you

It's a Chinese war staff. Japanese polearms would never have that kind of blade design....

Wait for the retro carded one, I have a feeling we will see the red nail polish.

Great jinx review too bad about the leg coming off.
Dates are always changing other than Target exclusives, those seem to be set in stone.
mid june
OR mid 4th of july
She has a steel plate in her shoulder, and the sword attaches by magnets. 😂
I agree on the legs. But it does look like the legs are working. So it wouldn’t bother me that much.
Yes but they tend to get looser as time goes on.
Punk, my night force tunnel rat had the same leg issue. Hasbro sent me a new one no problem & was able to keep the one with bad leg as well 👍🏽
I’ll probably contact BBTS since that’s where I got it and that’s actually what they want you to do.

Now that the retro cards are to stay we will see lots of figures on those cards.

keep it up
I’m more interested in the street Fighter 2 Guy behind you😂😂😂 bring on bison!!!
This week, sometime 😂
it on now

Good review. I'm curious we're you pick this wave of figures up at?
I thought the release date got pushed back till August.
Some stores in Canada and BBTS is getting them now too.
🤔🤔🤔
This could be why pulse pushed the release date on some of these🤔
Still a pretty good review 🎉
Good point!

wise people are in charge, a bridge will be respected, you re in real joe business now bro.
enjoy it, what? you thought you were a kid? duty calls.
so now you know...
good show bro
My Zaranna's arms won't stay on. But my cover girl is fine. I'll let you know if jinx has the same issues when mine comes in
Can’t wait for mine to arrive.
Great review. The figure looks awesome. However, the leg issue is worrisome.
Sweet Voodoo Glow Skulls tshirt, Punk. 🤘🏻
Thank you 💪🏼
you rockin 🤟😝😝
Guessing there will be a retro version?
My guess is there will be. There are some parts like Quick Kick’s backpack that already is made for a retro version of her.
Shouldn’t the blindfold be red?
Doesn’t Arashikage mean Storm Shadow lmao great review as usual brother keep em coming!!!!
Larry ,where did u find her at brother
That’s kind of nit picky , stupid and silly people bitching about the tattoo thing 🙄 people act like they should get a hot toys quality figure for $25 they do have a budget when designing these figures and it has to be used accordingly. if they used extra paint apps to make her tattoo go inside her elbow guess what now something else has to get cut to keep her in budget so now she can’t have the extra head or now we have to charge more for the figure.

Good review

I hope they correct this with a retro carded version.
Be careful with the masked head tassle, it's kinda thin in the knot part and might be an issue if it snaps.
That short hair makes her look like Juliette Lewis from “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape” which is a good movie but not good look for Jinx. Second thing, thoes knee joints look like crap, but still not horrible like Marvel Knights Dare Devil. Maybe we get retro version that looks like it should!
Its hard for me to keep justifying 25 bucks for loose joints and arms and legs popping off. Ive had alot of them that have had these issues.
Essa Parada Menine....😘🍩❤️🇧🇷
I hate this look for Jinx. Here’s hoping we get a proper retro release in the near future.
What do you hate, just wondering.
Is it just me, or is her chest a different skin tone from her neck?!
I’m not crazy about that head sculpt. The head looks a hair too big, giving a slight bobble head look.
great figure but I noticed her hands are made of a RUBERRY plastic, that I don't like.
*leg pops off* ""Ohhh" ~ not something you want to hear on a Joe review.... 😅
