Figura Obscura

Yeah. Bought it. It's not my minds eye Jersey Devil, but it works. I think it's kind of funny that it seems like they couldn't think of accessories, so they threw in a stand.
 
Having lived in NJ all my life, I have little attachment to the Jersey Devil. I don't know the lore, I'm not particularly interested. But being from NJ, I feel obligated to buy this for the representation alone.
 
I like it enough to put in an order, BUT that transition from the body to the furry neck is ROUGH looking. Like he just put on a giant taxidermied trophy head as a mask.

Honestly, that's my biggest complaint. No busted up chimney? Really? After all the lore-accurate stuff they throw in with other figures? Bah!
 
Love it! Liking it hues close to the weird horsie headed freak drawing while having a bit more “devil”for people who need their debils to have pointy goat horns, I was worried it was going to be a yolked Equestrion ogre freak like a Krampus 2.0 or something.

Between this, Loose Collector’s Sasquai and Chupacabra and various Jurassic World plesiosaurus my cryptic shelf is filling out rather nicely… just need someone to make Mothman now!
 
It has a bit more of a kitbash feel to it than most, but does seem to conform to a lot of the lore. Not for me, but I have also yet to go for any of the Halloweenish releases in this line (though the horseman certainly tempted me).

I have to imagine Loosecollector will be coming out with a version that has the full compliment of articulation a figure should have by now.

And I'll buy that when/if it happens. Honestly, with Loosecollector doing cryptids, and doing them very well, it feels like Four Horsemen are a little late to the party. Once you count tax and shipping, these aren't really that much cheaper than the Loosecollector ones either.
 
I don't like it, but it's kinda neat. I wish it were skinnier. I don't think I'd buy it unless I had a connection to Jersey.

I thought the Loosecollector stuff was stupid expensive, but I guess that isn't the case. Bigfoot is downright reasonable at $105.
