Figura Obscura

Honestly, if they hew more to these types of looks for JD, I may not find it as compelling.

This is what I'd rather have, honestly.

If it's Jersey Devil, that's an easy pass for me.

I am not a big enough cryptid fan to buy it, and I won't buy everything the 4H make, so hoping this ends up being a pass.

I have no particular attachment to the Jersey Devil. But I like random monster figures which can interact with a multitude of lines. So this really depends on its design.
 
I've liked every Figura Obscura they've released. I have the first drops of all of them. I also LOVE cryptids. The Loosecollector cryptids are currently one of my most anticipated lines, so I'll be excited to see how 4H does them.
 
It’s pretty much definitely the Jersey Devil.
The whole announcement is in the style of the old newspaper articles about the Leeds Devil.
Already set my alarm: I’m so stoked!!
 
I'm a big cryptid fan too, and the Jersey Devil was always one that interested me. What a kooky spooky. If it is JD, I may not be able to resist, no matter what it looks like. Same if they ever did Mothman. There's been some more unique takes on the JD over the years- What We Do In The Shadows forever changed how I look at it. 😂 Either way, really excited to see what this one turns out to be. I've loved all the Figura Obscura releases so far.
 
I bet if it is the Jersey Devil we see a a bit more beefy, demonic-looking than the classic spindly legged horse thing. I could see them taking inspiration from those drawings but I don't recall them ever releasing a figure that wasn't sturdy enough to pose and look menacing under its own power. If anything I'd be surprised if he wasn't a bit on the beefier side.

FO is one of those lines I really do cherry pick, so this one is something that will be ENTIRELY looks-dependent. If it can stand in as a cryptic and some creepy critter I could put other figures in a photo with? (Like I've literally got NECA Van Helsing in my hand right now, that kind of thing) I could be sold on it, but it'll be very much looks-based decision for me.
 
Some folks on Instagram were saying Dracula, but I think it's clearly the Jersey Devil.

Probably a pass for me, but I'm interested to see how weird they go.

Fewer new parts that way, too.
 
Probably won't be a release for me, but I'm curious to see what they come up with. Sure looks like Krampus reuse is in the cards based on some of the artwork being shared in here.

Maybe the Jersey Devil is just Krampus' east coast cousin. They don't see each other often, but always bicker over whose food is better- JD loves his pork roll, Krampus is partial to wienerschintzel. Krampus can't stand JD's salt water taffy, but JD can't stomach Krampus' marzipan. It basically writes itself.
 
After seeing that tease, I'll REALLY be shocked if it isn't Jersey Devil. I'll be checking in tomorrow morning to see what they unveil.
 
Yeahhh...I don't like that so much.

Not sure what it is, but it doesn't do it for me.
