Jazwares Stranger Things The Upside Down Collection Eleven Figure Review

FunTranscript
00:00Not really sure how she can showcase her psychokinetic powers if she's still sealed in her packaging.
00:04Here's your look at new Jazzwares Stranger Things 11 with accessories.
00:21Unleash your full potential with Stranger Things 11 upside down collector figure.
00:24This authentically scaled 6 inch action figure is based on the powerful psychokinetic's appearance in the 5th and final season of the hit series Stranger Things.
00:32It features 33 plus points of articulation and has soft good clothing to highlight authentic character details.
00:39It also comes packaged with alternate faceplates and unique character accessories to recreate iconic moments from the show.
00:44I can see 11's dressed for running, hopefully not running for her life.
00:47We're not going to run, but we're going to take to stepping.
00:49Stepping right away to taking the tape measure and seeing how tall the figure stands.
00:52The upside down collection 11 is going to be scaled in size with the already previously looked at Demogorgon, which, yes, yes, we will be bringing in shortly.
01:00Because of that, though, she's going to be standing at 6 inches in height, clocking in, though, at a figure that's about 15 centimeters tall.
01:06I'm sure much closer in quarters than what she really was wanting.
01:08But here's what the figure looks like with another upside down collection, that being the Demogorgon.
01:12The first wave, though, only seems to be 11, Dustin, and Demogorgon.
01:15But I'm sure we're probably going to be getting future waves as we get closer and closer to the new season of Stranger Things premiering.
01:20Premiering now are the four accessories that come in clue with the figure.
01:23She has, first of all, a very awkward-looking flashlight.
01:25It's so bent getting out of the packaging.
01:27Now, to be fair, though, they are using a fairly soft plastic anyways.
01:30Some trend that you'll find, actually, when we look at the rest of the figure.
01:33But, yeah, the flashlight is a little on the more bent side.
01:36I can't tell, though, if it's actually supposed to be on or if the batteries are just starting to drain.
01:41I think overall it's okay.
01:42I mean, again, it's a little on the more bent side.
01:44It does fit into the figure's hands.
01:45It does actually have two gripping hands.
01:47But, again, you'll see with the plastic, the hands, the accessories, all for that matter, are very gummy and very, like, bendable.
01:54If you kind of really recognize that kind of plastic on some of your figures, she has that kind of plastic.
01:59She does also have a backpack.
02:01And the thing that's cool, at least, about the backpack is that, yes, it does go on the back of her body.
02:06But also, though, that you can actually open up the flap.
02:08Take the flashlight, bent or otherwise.
02:10Let go for a second.
02:11And you can actually take the flashlight and fit it into the pack.
02:15Now, you can fit it somewhat all the way down there.
02:18But my only real one worry, though, is once you get it far enough in the pack, will you have a hard time getting it out?
02:23The answer is yes.
02:24But it does maybe seem like she could also store some other things as well.
02:27But, no, it doesn't give you really the means to hold her wind jacket, her windbreaker.
02:31This can, again, fit on the back of her body.
02:33You can choose either to have the way it's designed, where it's just, you know, obviously just put on her back like so.
02:38Or, again, you can also dress her up first.
02:40Get her all warm, because, again, you don't know how cold it is outside.
02:43Dress her up first.
02:44Then you can put the backpack on.
02:45All those things we'll, again, be doing shortly.
02:47The figure does also have a swappable head sculpt.
02:50The head sculpt does look generally angry.
02:52Now, she doesn't have a bloody nose, though.
02:53I don't know if I'm sure she's still going to have that in the series.
02:56This can then be swapped out with the face that she currently has right now.
02:59Before we start swapping out anything, though, the figure does also come included with a windbreaker.
03:03The jacket, I think, for what it is, I mean, considering for the price of what these figures are selling for,
03:07a little over the $25 mark, I think, though, the jacket is pretty well tailored.
03:11I mean, it seemed nicely.
03:13They even actually have drawstrings on the side where you can actually tighten up the top of the jacket hood.
03:17I think that's really nice.
03:19The jacket obviously does fit over top of her body.
03:21I guess maybe before we actually do that, we'll just kind of put everything to the side.
03:25Leave it with me, though.
03:26We'll come back to that in a second.
03:27I did say already, though, the figure does actually have that use of that very rubbery kind of plastic.
03:32You'll see here on her hands.
03:34You'll see it down, especially here for legs.
03:36Very kind of gummy kind of plastic.
03:38It does kind of really feel like her legs don't stay properly in place.
03:41Often, you'll feel yourself just kind of constantly pushing her legs back in place.
03:46They always seem like they want to be dropping down.
03:48The plastic, I think, is okay.
03:50I really would have preferred they maybe used a different type of material or a different type of plastic.
03:53Because, again, it feels kind of really gummy.
03:57I felt sort of the same way when we looked at also the Demogorgon.
04:00Face sculpt for what we get.
04:00The neutral expression I think is pretty good.
04:02It looks a little bit like Eleven.
04:04It also looks a little bit like Queen Annabella.
04:06Not Annabella.
04:07The girl from Star Wars.
04:09Amidala.
04:10Queen Amidala.
04:11Natalie Portman.
04:11It does look a little like Natalie Portman as well.
04:14I think for, again, like sculpting, I mean, for this being a retail release figure,
04:18obviously there could have been companies that had done a better job of doing an Eleven.
04:21But I think it's okay.
04:23My one thing, though, really, and there's also a smaller scale version of Eleven, too,
04:26that happens to be wearing this exact same outfit.
04:29I would gather, though, that this is probably the outfit she's going to be wearing at the
04:31beginning of the series.
04:32That tends to usually be the case.
04:34Companies, when they produce a figure, they usually produce it by the way the company,
04:37well, the way that the figure is going to appear.
04:39The character is going to appear in the opener of that series.
04:42I hope, though, that this is going to be the standard for what she's going to be wearing
04:44for the rest of the series.
04:46Because, again, I don't think it's the most flattering of outfits.
04:48That sort of has her sweats on there, top and the bottom, and then she's got also shorts
04:52over top of that.
04:53What kind of rocking fashion sense is she going to be getting here?
04:56I mean, like, the pants don't look the most flattering.
04:59I mean, also, it looks, maybe it makes it a little bit more thigh or a little hippie.
05:04Down below, though, I will say, though, I do think they've done a nice job of actually
05:07striping the socks.
05:08There is details here.
05:10I just don't think it's the most flattering of outfits for a character like an Eleven to be
05:13wearing.
05:13Truth, again, be told, I'm sure they're probably going to have her wearing this at the beginning,
05:16but I feel like they're probably going to be having her wearing different outfits.
05:19I think even, like, on the poster, a poster for season five, they have her actually having
05:24this exact same look.
05:25So whether how long this look is going to last in the series or not, this is the look
05:29that they decide to go with for Jazzwear's release of her.
05:32If you did want to get the jacket on her, though, by the way, I guess, actually, before
05:35we do that, let's look at the figure's articulation, because it's going to be a little bit harder
05:38to get things going if I have a jacket over top of her.
05:41For the figure's articulation, Eleven's going to be on, first of all, ball joint.
05:44Now, she actually does have a ball joint both here, and she does also have a ball joint
05:48at the base of the neck.
05:49That's pretty impressive.
05:50And again, you can also swap out the face, too.
05:53Arms rotate all the way around.
05:54You can bring those arms out.
05:56Now, I had a real struggle, and I still continue to have a struggle getting her arms completely
06:00outbent.
06:01There seems very, very much of a limited joint when it comes to right here in her shoulders.
06:05I mean, again, you can bend it, but it feels like, especially with this kind of rubber
06:09plastic, you don't really know what tolerances you're dealing with.
06:12But when you feel like, almost like, is that the point where I really should stop?
06:15Is this plastic going to break?
06:16It does give, but it gives at a way that, you know, the plastic just doesn't feel like
06:20it's all that forgiving.
06:22The top of the torso is really quite generous when it comes to the ball joints.
06:24I guess really we should look at the rest of the arms, but there's a swivel there at
06:27the top of the bicep.
06:28There is a hinge in the elbow.
06:30And again, here's the hard thing when it comes to plastic like this.
06:33You'd think, though, like there's not much you can really bend to it.
06:36And when you go to actually bend the elbow, it feels like it really wants to kind of stop.
06:41You have to kind of just push your way along and hope that nothing ever really breaks.
06:44I guess the plastic is that kind of plastic that you don't have to worry that things are
06:47going to necessarily snap.
06:48But it does feel, though, like you're putting more pressure against it than you really want
06:52you what you want.
06:53Hands rotate all the way around.
06:54Yes, yes, you can hinge them back and forth there, too.
06:57The legs split.
06:58But again, they're so awkwardly of a splits because when you move it, she does this.
07:02And you have to keep pushing this back.
07:04The legs move forward.
07:05They move back.
07:06But again, doing the same.
07:07She has a swivel there at the top of the thigh.
07:09It's just a mess, though.
07:10I really feel for her thighs.
07:12There's a double hinge on the knee, so at least that's good.
07:14She has ankle articulation both back and forth and up and down.
07:17She does also have pegels in the bottoms of her feet.
07:19Unlike, though, the demogorgon that we've already had a look at, Levin, no, does not come
07:22included with a display stand.
07:24If you did want to swap out, though, the face, just in case of actually yanking off everything,
07:28I thought, though, the ears would stay behind.
07:30But it turns out, though, that the ears are part of the front of the face.
07:33Just take that off.
07:34Take, of course, then the new head.
07:36And you're plugging it essentially onto that rectangular peg.
07:39I know I'm probably stating things that you probably already can see for yourself.
07:43Just, again, plug that onto the peg.
07:45This one doesn't seem to sit as well.
07:48And when you feel like you got it on there, it still seems like there's a gap right between
07:53her face and the back of her hair.
07:55Maybe I don't have that all the way on there.
07:58There we go.
07:59So, yeah, I don't really like this head sculpt.
08:02I'm not just saying it, though, by the way I've executed putting this actually on the
08:05figure's head.
08:06It just seems like it doesn't fit.
08:09It doesn't look right.
08:10It looks like the face is almost even sliding off from the back of her head.
08:14I think I would rather, though, just kind of go back to the rather neutral expression.
08:18But we're going to go with this for at least right now.
08:20To get her on the jacket, just obviously it's like dressing a little toddler.
08:23A toddler if you had a child about that size.
08:25Let's get the jacket, slide it up her arms.
08:28No, no, you don't necessarily have to remove the hands.
08:31Slide it all the way up the forearms.
08:33This side as well.
08:35And then we just kind of bring the arms back around.
08:38Again, we can kind of bring the hood back.
08:39Do we want to put the backpack on too?
08:41Okay, we'll put the backpack on too.
08:43Again, we'll just bring back the arms the way that we had it before.
08:46Take the straps.
08:47One side.
08:49Successfully.
08:49Can we do it on the other?
08:51There we go.
08:52It is a little, to be fair, harder getting it on both her arms, especially when the jacket's
08:56on her.
08:57I seemed to fare all right earlier.
08:59I don't know why.
09:00I guess because the camera's looking at me and everybody's looking at me.
09:02I feel more nervous.
09:03But get that all the way on there.
09:05There we go.
09:06There we go.
09:07I think we got it.
09:08I think we got it.
09:09Okay, good.
09:09Slide it all the way up there.
09:11And then we just kind of course correct the arms.
09:14Bring back the hoodie.
09:16I think the hoodie, if anything, or the jacket that she's wearing, draws a little more attention
09:20away from the fact that, again, her sense of fashion seems a little, again, questionable
09:23for season five.
09:25Again, I don't love this head sculpt.
09:26But again, like if you want to have the figure displayed, I will say at least to Jazzwares,
09:30having though to include an extra head for the price point that they did do these figures,
09:34I think it's really, again, quite the feat.
09:36They easily could have just released this figure without a soft goods jacket,
09:38with maybe just the backpack, maybe just the backpack and the flashlight as being her
09:43sole accessories.
09:44But then to include a pretty well sewn together jacket that does actually, again, you just
09:49draw those cords back and you can tighten up.
09:51Not the easiest.
09:52I mean, it doesn't really stay those so much in place, but at least being able to tighten
09:55the back of the hood.
09:56That's pretty impressive for, again, a $25 figure.
09:59All in all, though, again, like Eleven's okay.
10:01I mean, it's not certainly one of the better Eleven's that we've gotten.
10:05There has been, admittingly, other companies, I think, that have handled the character just
10:08a little bit better.
10:09I sort of felt, again, the same way when we looked at the Demogorgon.
10:12They're just, they're just okay.
10:14You know, they're middle sort of of the mark.
10:16Now, I think, again, one thing that Jazzwares has done well, though, is that they've also
10:19released two different size classes.
10:21So, again, you've got your six-inch scale, which I kind of more gravitate towards.
10:25And then they also have the smaller scale.
10:26Now, they did have a smaller scale, both Demogorgon and Eleven, recently, though, when
10:31I trekked out to Walmart.
10:32I didn't decide to pick them up.
10:33I probably maybe should have, so we could have also looked at those in upcoming videos
10:36as well.
10:37I still think, truth be told, though, I kind of think I like the six-inch just a little
10:40bit more.
10:41While, again, I have to really question Eleven's choice in attire, maybe, to be fair, this
10:46is, again, the way she's probably going to be looking at in the opening of the series.
10:49And, you know, again, if she probably does change her outfit later then into the other
10:52episodes, maybe Jazzwares might also release another
10:54Eleven to go along with that.
10:56I think for what it is, there's some positive points.
10:58Having, though, a swappable faceplate for, again, a $25 figure, that's not bad.
11:02That's not bad at all.
11:03The face, I think, still looks better with the neutral.
11:06Changing out this head sculpt, it just kind of seems like something's a little bit more
11:09off on it.
11:10Having, though, to include a jacket, that's a nice touch, a backpack, and also a flashlight
11:14you can store in the back of the backpack.
11:16Those would all be things that normally, if you think of, like, a low-tier figure company
11:20or figure line, you would think that, like, a backpack would never open, it would never
11:24store an accessory inside, and you would never get a soft goods jacket.
11:27Checking off all those boxes, Jazzwares at least threw extra things in with the release
11:32of Eleven, not just releasing solely a 6-inch figure of her.
11:34If you're one that thinks that 13 is an unlucky number, then, unluckily for you, the difference
11:38between the two size classes of Eleven is about $13.
11:42The 6-inch version of her at least sells in stores and sells online for $29.97, whereas
11:47the 4-inch of Eleven sells for $16.97, so, again, it's about a $13 difference.
11:53What seems, though, to be the same is the outfit that she wears, the sweats and the gray,
11:56and, of course, the red trunks, the red shorts, but then the head sculpt.
11:59One thing that's different, actually, is the 4-inch version of Eleven does actually have
12:03a mask covering over her face.
12:05It seems like that same blue mask that she has around her neck in the 6-inch, although
12:09it's going to be covering her face, or at least covering her mouth, in the 4-inch release
12:12of her.
12:13She still, though, has, in 4 inches, a smaller backpack.
12:16She doesn't, though, have a flashlight, but she's going to have a walkie-talkie, I think
12:20some bottled drink, and some small snack.
12:23So, those are the things that are going to be coming to include with the smaller 4-inch
12:25scale Eleven.
12:26I've seen her in stores.
12:27I'm not really sure, though, if I'm interested enough to get the Eleven in a smaller scale figure.
12:31Although, to be fair, though, and I did say this with a review of the Demogorgon, one
12:35thing I think at least is cool with what Jazzwares has done with the smaller class figures is
12:39that they've also included things like bikes.
12:41Eleven doesn't have a bike, but all the rest of the kids do.
12:44Maybe, maybe, maybe.
12:45I'll see if I can...
12:4616 still seems high for a 4-inch figure, but considering, though, that she does also
12:50have some additional accessories, that may not be a bad thing.
12:53And, though, while the 4-inch doesn't have at least a jacket, the 6-inch does.
12:56Well, it's one of the things, actually, I do like about this figure, that they included
12:59some additional kind of gimmicks to her, that she does have a fabric jacket, that she does
13:03have a swappable face.
13:05I don't think, though, that the swapped-out face is as successful as the one that she starts
13:08with when you first get her out of her package.
13:10I think the right-of-girl neutral face looks still better, even though it looks a little
13:13like Natalie Portman.
13:14I think it's, though, definitely a lot better than the screaming portrait that she has.
13:18Not only do I think the face looks a little off on this one, but it doesn't seem to attach
13:22onto the back of her head the same way that the first one does.
13:25It seems to leave, like, a very weird-looking gap space.
13:28I'm not a big fan of that.
13:29I'm not also really a big fan of the more gummier plastic that they seem to continue to
13:33use with these figures, says the guy, again, who's only looked at two so far.
13:37I would imagine, though, that trend will continue as well when we look at the Stranger Things
13:40Dustin, which his review will be also coming up this week.
13:43What do you guys think of the new Jazzwear Stranger Things Season 5 Upside Down collector's
13:47figures?
13:47I don't even, again, know how I'm going to get that all in the title.
13:50Do you prefer to collect, though, the 4-inch figures, or are you liking more of the 6-inch?
13:53Let me know down below in the comments section.
13:55If you guys, in the meantime, did enjoy this video, you can do it as well and throw it
13:57a like.
13:58You guys want to stick around for more so?
14:00I hope so.
14:00I hope so.
14:01As said already, kind of spilling the beans early.
14:04We're also going to be looking at the Stranger Things Upside Down collection, Dustin.
14:07His review will also be coming up this week.
14:09As always, guys, thanks for watching.
14:11See you guys next time.
