Dakota Jennings

As a young child Dakota Jennings witnessed the death of her parents by the forces of evil: Ragnarok. Dakota is rescued and raised by a member of the mysterious Dead Cell, a splinter faction of ‘The Prophets.’

Established during World War II, ‘The Prophets’ are a secret organization that fights the forces of evil such as werewolves and vampires.

Dakota is one of the Dead Cell’s most skilled warriors. She is proficient in hand-to-hand combat, is a weapons’ expert and prefers to travel light depending on her speed and agility. She wears no armor and uses only lightweight weapons such as a handgun and sword.

Triad Toys presents its 12-inch, fully-articulated Dead Cell: Dakota Jennings figure. The figure comes packaged in a simple flip-open front panel display box decorated with photos of Dakota on all sides with full Dead Cell and Dakota information on the back. The inside of the front panel contains Dakota’s weapons and three sets of additional hands encased in a slip-sleeve plastic display panel.


Dakota is encased in a twin sleeve clear plastic display case that both protects and keeps the figure stationary when not on display. Dakota is also held in place by several twist ties.


Dakota’s weapons, clothes and accessories include a small automatic hand gun with functional slides and removable ammo clip, a metal samurai sword with scabbard (check out the sword’s grip), gun holsters and belt harnesses, knee and elbow pads, a leather wrist gauntlet, black leather jacket with working zipper and Dead Cell emblems, blue denim flared jeans, black tank top, black leather knee boots with magnets to hold the figure in place on Triad Toys’ bullet time stand and three pair of additional hands: gun grip, sword grip and fist posed.


Articulation is tight that allows the figure to maintain any pose you place it in. Look for swivel and ball joints in the arms, legs, torso and neck. All position easily, with no stiffness or looseness.


The figure’s sculpting is first rate especially on the hands and face. Dakota’s face skin tones are slightly varied, thus emulating a real person’s skin. Eyes, nose and mouth are crisp with no bleed over on the paint application on the eyes or mouth. Her blond hair is securely rooted in place with no frizzy or slick appearance. A small plastic sleeve fits over her hair to keep her hair in place and can be removed when the figure is on display.


Clothing fits nicely over the medium bust figure. Leather accessories may be removed carefully as well as the clothes. Jean and halter top fit snug to the figure but move easily with the figure without binding or stretching out of shape.


Real metal silver buckles are on the holsters and belts, knee and elbow pads are held in place with laces (be careful as they are very small), the jeans have a snap front and flare to fit easily over Dakota’s knee boots, that are not removable.


Hand manipulation and gripping action allow the figure to hold weapons easily without fear of being too loose and the hands are easily removed with a simple gentle tug off and snap on.


I was able to pose the Dakota figure without the use of a stand and had no problem positioning her weapons in one or both hands.


This is an extremely well-crafted figure with careful attention given to each detail. Clothing stitching is tight, articulation is superb and posing the figure in literally hundred of poses is easy. Articulation points are well hidden and subtle, plastic flashing is non-existent and the entire figure package makes for a great addition to any 12-inch figure collection.
