The Elder Scrolls, Journeyman, Cats and Pandas



Too cool! From Symbiote Studios comes some outrageous and awesome vinyl figures that are sure to send vinyl fans scampering to their local comic book, game and specialty stores.
All of the figures come in a variety of paint applications, are articulated, boast excellent color and paint application, clever sculpting, eye-catching package designs and here's the best part: most are sealed in envelopes so you're not really sure what figure you'll get.  Think of it as a Symbiote surprise!

First up are the Panda figures. The two I received include the Ninja Panda with its solid white Ninja outfit with black gloves and sleeves (accented in red and white), black Ninja footwear and a Ninja mask with only the determined blue eyes of the Panda showing.  Its black ears poke out from the top of the Ninja hood.  Red accents are around the eye opening, waist, and pant cuffs.

The Undersea Diver Panda is dressed in a period diving gear assembly with brown shoes and gloves, brown segmented suit with gray sleeve, cuff and criss-cross chest accent.

A two-tone gray diving helmet with faux rivets around the faceplate hide the Panda's face, except for its eyes and nose.

The Cat figures I possess include the red garbed Kitoon Ninja Cat with full red body suit, white sleeves with black and red wrist accents, white footgear, black trimmed eye opening and red and black wrist accents.

The Blank Cat figure is identical to the Ninja except its.....blank.  Pure white, no color, completely without features-blank!

The Online Fighter Guild Journeyman in Akaviri Armor is the largest of the figure packages.  It's special clear front box spotlights the fierce warrior dressed in aqua and burnt orange accented clothes, removable fitted helmet, lower face mask, fighter finger gloves, black shoes and black sleeves.  

Included with the figure is a gray and brown accented bow and brown/gray sword and a ugly (yet cute) froglike critter with large rear legs, small front legs, long pointed tail and large mouth accenting two large yellow and green eyes topped by heavy black brows and black stripped torso.  It is the Journeyman's trusty steed Guar.

The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim Dragonborn Action figure also comes with a removable helmet only its decorated with turned down yellow and brown horns, looks like riveted metal with two large eye openings.  The figure glares fiercely with its large blue eyes, brandishes its sword and battleaxe and stands defiantly dressed in its leather warrior outfit with leather finger gloves, metal accented leather shoes and metal and leather cross strap chest decoration.

All of the aforementioned figures are just plain fun to look at, pose and play with.  Pick up yours today.
