The MightyJaxx Kwistal Fwenz line has released it's second set, and as always I like to review toys that actually look cool in ponyland! Especially when they include background and secondary characters who desperately need more merchandising.
If you missed our announcements on this one, the box includes all of the ponies you see above, with the chance at a random Nightmare Moon. I've had a few people tell me that they ordered multiple boxes and ended up with a bunch of Nightmare Moons, so she could either be relatively common, or they just didn't mix the boxes very well when shipping them out. Either way, I had a Luna box which I preferred anyway, so expect some less evil moon.
Now get the review below!
They did a really good job on the multi-color manes with that transparent gradient. Starlight in particular looks really well done.
Next up is Sunbutt. She comes with all of her royal regalia that you'd expect, and again has a neat gradient in her mane and tail. They gave her completely unique eyes too. It would have been easy for them to just copy paste the eye shapes for all of these with different colors. I'm glad they didn't!
Spike is the only non-pony in the set, and comes holding a gem. Aside from being a dragon, he's the most basic of the figures but still really good quality.
Maud comes with boulder and her trademark outfit. She's a simple pony in the show, and she keeps that trend up here. Very Maud.
As most of you probably know by now, I'm obsessed with Luna~ She has always been one of my favorite characters, mainly thanks to the fandom since it was rare to see her in the show. She shares a sitting pose with her sister, albeit with a hoof raise in this case. All around chibi-moon is great.
Next up is Spitfire, a pony that has had almost no merchandise love at all. This gives me hope that we might see more rare characters in the future. Our little chibi wonderbolt captain comes with a whistle for commanding the troops, and an expression filled with DETERMINATION. Undertale memes are still cool right?
My final pull was Derpy! She comes rockin a muffin and has no code-name at all. She's straight up Derpy Hooves this time around. Save Derpy won in the end. I still wonder how those old meetings went between licensees who wanted to include her and Hasbro who wanted to bury her. I'm glad to see her come out on top in the end!
All in all, this set is super impressive just like the first one! There are very few little dings and defects, most figures having none at all and the ones that do are so minor you won't even notice unless you really analyze the hell out of them.
Hopefully these do well so we can get us a 3rd set, or even more specialized figures out of Mighty Jaxx. I demand Kirin!
