Flynn - TRON

Flynn

TRON Diamond Select figures - Walgreens Exclusive

Bless you, Diamond Select.  Taking a buried-by-Star-Wars Disney property and showing it some love and light of day.  Their first TRON figures were worked into the Kingdom Hearts line, and they were fantastic.  Now, they are doing a three figure wave of Tron, Flynn, and Sark, each with piece of a buildable Recognizer ship!  Before those drop, single packs without the ship pieces are already hitting Walgreens stores.  Other than the ship piece, the notable difference in offerings is this figure.

What?!  They made the standard blue Flynn figure an exclusive?!   Yup.  The Flynn in the main line is the red disguise.  Normally, I would shun this type of promotion, but I have handful of WG stores in my town and they seem to be plentiful.

Best of luck to those TRON fans without a handful of WG stores in their radius...you will not want to miss out on this one.  I think he has slightly upgraded articulation compared to the Kingdom Hearts figures, and includes his disc and a display stand.  The sculpt on these are also more defined, less cartoony than the KH versions.  

Likeness wise, I can see young Jeff Bridges here.  It's not as strong as the prototype pics, but he's definitely there in certain angles and lighting.  Like most toys, a stronger paint job can make all the difference.  Everything else about the program suit looks great:  strong lines, bright paint.  His tunic is a flexible, rubbery material that doesn't hinder his articulation much and still allows you to port his disc to his back easily.

I am looking forward to adding this guy to Diamond's growing TRON offerings.  I'm off to print off a Master Control cardstock background!  End of line...
