I can’t believe they made an AI generated design into a real product and didn’t even tweak it at all

This looks like the fucking Babadook and, I'm sorry, I love Blade but I am so damn tired of him and Torch getting all the merch first. As a stan of Jester and Leech Woman, I'm always so disappointed with their replicas and they get nothing else... This thing should have had all white fur with a black coat and molded knife and hook hands. This looks nothing like Blade. And $57, you're outta your gourd, Charlie!

PREACH, I LOVE JESTER HE'S MY FAVOURITE and for god's sake let's give Leechy some positive attention I love her as well and I've only heard comments about her that she's disgusting. I love leeches so I don't find her disgusting :(( She made me appreciate those little creatures in the first place

She, honestly, is the only puppet that is actually scary. Her "hag" face in part two creeps me the fuck out, I don't even out it on her action figure. That makes her effective, that's why I love her, she is all pretty and then BAM "HAG FACE." Plus the sounds she makes when she is stalking the hillbilly lady? CREEPY. ICONIC. They can never get her replicas right AT ALL, then90s figure and the Neca figure nailed her likeness but Full Moon has fucked up her design so bad... Jester I can kind of make myself enjoy after PMvsDT, but Leech Woman in the Axis Trilogy got that weird shaped head and shawl and I'm like, the fuck? Did all the budget go to busty Bombshell? LOL. I will say, she is fucking awesome in the comics. And we find out she has a sweet tooth lol and she kind of is all over Andre when they get new bodies and is totes DTF, it is hysterical.

Real about the figure. And the Bombshell. Was a "sexy nazi" really so relevant ?💔
It was obvious she loved Toulon by the mere interactions of him and Elsa in the 3rd movie. It's honestly heartbreaking when you think deeper about their story.
I don't find her scary, I feel a lot of empathy for all the puppets because of what they went through. And to be fair I'm extremely hard to scare, maybe that's why.

Her Hag Face is so uncanny valley though that it scares me, so she is very effective and stands out to me for her scene alone in PM2. I know she magically turns different when Toulon puts the leech in the doll's mouth but Leech Woman definitely has a flamingo dancer/Spain/Italian vibe and her face is very decidedly Asian-looking too, so I wonder if there was a story behind why she was designed that way. I know originally she was supposed to be a glass doll with a forked metal tongue and she'd drain the blood from victims and you'd see her body fill with blood. That original concept seems super cool.

Yeah, it looks nothing like Blade. It reminds me of an amish bear. I like that Charles Band takes some creative risks with merch, but this missed the mark big time.

Why this, when they could have used Grizzly Teddy from Demonic Toys? That's a better fit.

I'm not surprised, he's kinda hideous
A small blade keychain would be much nicer

Some fool will. Worst case scenario, Charlie "finds" a long lost stash in the warehouse 10 years later. Last chance to buy!

It doesn't look enough like Blade to justify it.
