Blaziken came in today.

TLDR: Yeah it's pretty cool, but I'll always have preferred a regular one over the Mega. Stage is badass though.

The head seems really, really big... but the rest of it seems proportionally fine. Nothing else seems terribly off. I like the way that the flames were handled too. They're a very soft plastic, so won't expect to be easily breaking them. Color-wise they could have benefited from some more orange though.

Articulation's what you expect - can do anything really. And the forearms are on their own piece below the elbow so the flames can swivel out of the way too. The fingers are a pretty nice unique point to it; much better than the others we've gotten since the articulation's actually useful. And if you want to for kicking poses, even the toes can move. But he totally stands on the giant fur bell bottoms. Which is totally fine since it means Blaziken can stand on its own quite well, something not all the Pokémon can say lol.

And as for everyone's favorite part of all of the Pokémon, I'm sure... the freaking gigantic Poke Ball stand! Except this time I'm actually excited for it! It's not the boring clear one we've been getting, but black, with the outline painted in some sort of silver. I say some sort because whatever it is, it reflects light in a rainbow, which goes right along with the Mega motif. It looks gorgeous.
