NOTE: Boss Fight Studio has informed folks that the connecting joints for the replaceable faces and hands are a bit tighter than anticipated.  You will want to apply some heat to ensure safe removal.  Either a quick burst with a hair dryer or some warm water will do the trick.

As I mentioned in my review of First Mate Jenny, I had very little exposure to Bucky O’Hare prior to Boss Fight Studio acquiring the license, but I didn’t hesitate in jumping on board, because I’ve grown intimately familiar with how well developed their toy lines are, and had no questions in mind that Bucky would be any different.

Now that I’ve actually got the first two figures in hand, I can say with assuredness that Boss Fight Studio knocked these out of the park.  The fact that BFS is able to design, sculpt, and produce figures as realistic as their Vitruvian HACKS line, then turn around and do an animation-accurate line like Bucky O’Hare is pretty astounding, and they execute it to near perfection.

The sculpting of Bucky is very much like he appears in the vintage action figure line, but with loads more articulation worked in.  Ball joint shoulders and hips, jointed knees and elbows, and swivel forearms at the glove (not to mention jointed ankles and toes for crying out loud) allow for nearly any pose you can think of, and the joints are all rigid and move fluidly.

Bucky’s color scheme is great as well, an awesome combination of especially vibrant and animated green, red, and yellow looking as if he just leaped right off the comic page or right out of the TV screen.  I absolutely love the color selection of the first two figures in this line as they very nicely match an animated aesthetic and compliment each other well.  There’s a definite art to color selection, and Boss Fight has it nailed.  From look to sculpting to articulation, Bucky O’Hare has it all.

The best thing about Bucky specifically is the sheer playability of the figure.  He just feels like a fun toy to play with, yet still manages to capture a collectors’ style.

Like Jenny, Bucky’s got a mixture of external accessories as well as additional body parts for the figure itself.  His swappable hands attach at the glove and allow for clenched fists, pointing fingers or hands that grasp his laser pistols.  He also comes with three facial expressions that are swapped (courtesy of a little heat) and look really great, conveying all sorts of fun emotions.  The two aforementioned pistols also fit on the knobs on his belt and hook into his grasping hands perfectly as well.

Packaging for Bucky O’Hare looks spectacular.  Great artwork, very nice layout and a collector friendly separating bubble give you anything you could possibly want from a presentation perspective.

This line has already started out strong.  Captain Bucky O’Hare and his First Mate Jenny launch this new Boss Fight Studio line in style and set a new standard for animation accuracy without sacrificing functionality.  Really great stuff, even for fans who aren’t super into the Bucky O’Hare property.
