My action figure collection got a big dose of potassium with the addition of the Fortnite character Peely, by McFarlane Toys. He's a banana with arms, legs and a face. Goofy for sure, but also unique and fun.
He comes with an Infintry Rifle, a Machete Harvesting tool, Bamboo Back Bling and a black stand. He's the 2nd figure I've purchased from McFarlane toys (my previous buy being their Saitama) and he's a big improvement. I didn't care much for their attempt at One Punch Man, but the issues I had with that one, mainly being the stiff articulation, is much better with Peely.
His shoulders have a lot of range. Coupled with double jointed elbows, upper arm swivel and expressive wrists that move in every direction, you get a lot of movement from his arms. His knees are double jointed and he has a lot of range in his ankles. For his thighs he can kick far back and out, but the plastic hinders the joint from kicking too far forward. However, you can still get him to sit with a little work. He also has click joints underneath the soft plastic where his head is, so you can get him to look down, but his face will puff out or sink inward a bit.
As for sculpt, despite him being a banana, he does have some cool touches that stand out, such as the brown patches on his knees and elbows, top of his head and under his feet that you would find on a real banana. Not that bananas have arms and legs. But this attention to detail is what makes him so much more fun. His cute, goofy face, his peeling layers at the top of his head and the Nana Nana sticker on his back complete the package.
He's a very tall figure, towering over Marvel Legends easily. Despite his big size, he still fits well with my Jazwares Fortnite figures, and pretty much all my others. He's a big, happy banana, how can he not?
McFarlane Toys Peely is a fun, cool figure that I absolutely recommend. Among my super heroes, villains, kaiju, monsters and aliens, he is a unique stand out.
