Agent Crimson


To be honest I had never heard of Triad Toys until a few months ago. I spotted an article written about the company accompanied by several pictures of its figures. I was hooked. I immediately looked up the company's website and surfed its pages. I've seen 12-inch, fully-articulated figures before, but nothing like these!

From Gunn 4 Hire comes Agent Crimson, part of Black Wolffe International Witness Security Protection & Relocation. The male figure stands 12 inches tall and appears Asian.

The figure, with accessories, comes packaged in a two-side, flip open crimson red box. The figure is secured in a form-fitting plastic sarcophagus, held in place by wires. Accessories are held in place in a smaller plastic cocoon inserted in the opposite lid. Tape keeps the accessories from shifting.

The figure is constructed of flesh-colored plastic with cleverly hidden articulation points in the neck, torso, legs, arms, ankles, wrists and waist. Cloths fit nicely on the figure that when moved do not bind or strain the form-fitting attire.

The face is painted in several flesh tones simulating real flesh. The eyes, ears, nose, lips, eyebrows and hair are expertly sculpted and painted with no rough bleed over edges or sloppy paint application. The hands are positioned to hold the accompanying weapons.

Clothing consists of a light tan tweed two-piece suit with double buttons and hidden snap. The coat is pleated with two pockets. The figure comes in a white dress shirt with brown tie, a belt that actually functions, black socks and brown leather dress shoes with real laces. All of the clothing is nicely stitched and assembled and look real to scale.

Accessories include a black and gray flax jacket that fits easily over and around the figure. A leather shoulder holster with ammo pouches, an automatic with two clips, an extra black bowtie and black wraparound sunglasses are included. All are minutely accurate in scale and accuracy.

My opinion? I think it is a very done and executed figure with accessories. I hope to review more Triad Toys in the future.
