The figurine I received is good. Looks a lot like the image provided in the Amazon posting (
Skylanders SuperChargers: Drivers Stormblade Character Pack
) and I do like it. 4 Stars for sure but, not quite 5 Stars for a few silly reasons.
1st reason is, the paint on the posting image is glossy and reflects light in highlights from the eyes, beak and blades. The paint on the shipped product is matte or "flat" and does not show these highlights... it's like the "life" is not in this one.
2nd reason is in the colors. I recognize that a computer monitor may relay different hews and shades of color and is an emission device (emits light) while a figurine is a reflective surface that reflects the light of the sources it is viewed under but... the colors are different. Just saying, they look different enough to me. People in my family photos look "ok" to me but none of them are birds so I can't relay precisely what the difference is.
3rd, the model has numerous slight differences in it's form from the image on Amazon's posting. The uniform the character is wearing has a different "cut" with more "fabric" covering more "feathers". The knee pads are shaped slightly different and the helmet lacks the detail of the posted image. Also, and this may cross the line someplace, some of the characters feminine shape is "lost" in the production model. Hate me a little but this is a female character and there is no reason to play-down this when it's obvious. A female form is fantastic in the truest sense of the word and deserves to be recognized and admired. Yes, kid's toy but still worth noting.
Look, I know I critiquing a child's toy here and I still would have bought this thing had the image been of an "as shipped" model but I would really liked to have had a figurine of the quality shown.
Overall, Stormblade is the most interesting of the characters (my opinion, yes) and I am quite happy to hold an example of this fun and fascinating toy! Bravo Activision and please pass my compliments on to the person who prepared your product sample, it's some really awesome model building/painting!

FEATHER THE STORM!
From the moment she left the nest, Stormblade had always pushed the boundaries, seeking to travel further than anyone had ever gone. At a young age, she made the bold leap off of her home island and plummeted through the deep blue sky in an attempt to find the bottom of Skylands – only to find no such bottom existed. This did not fulfill her curiosity, nor did it sway her belief there was something else beyond the limits of her world. Soon she built a custom ship, the Sky Slicer, and raced to the furthest reaches of Skylands in search of its end – but no end could be found. She wanted answers, and so she came to the one person that could help her – Master Eon. The Portal Master instantly saw the unquenchable thirst for exploration that resided in Stormblade, and asked her to join the Skylanders on a very special mission that would take her through the uncharted rifts between worlds!
