Released as part of Wave 15 in March 2024, another fan-favorite gets checked off of people's list with Quick Kick. Featuring a 100% all-new sculpt from head-to-toe, this figure is a perfect update to the classic ARAH figure. There are some fans who were hoping for a more realistic military look for the character, but for now, the Classified team decided to go for a straight update to his original design. Quick Kick features a ton of detail on his newly sculpted body, from his chiseled muscles to his ornate pants. Even his toes and feet have a lot of detail on them! He also comes with a decent amount of stuff, and many fans are happy to see that Team Classified gave him a Sunbow-inspired accessory - his Fudgie Bar! He also has a snazzy belt which can hold his nunchuks.
Quick Kick comes loaded with the following gear and accessories: a backpack (which can stow his two swords), (2) nunchuks (which can be stowed on his waist belt), (2) swords, an alternate head (one head with normal hair and less emotion, the other featuring windswept, messy hair with an open-mouth, slightly more expressive face), (2) sets of alternate hands (one set as clenched fists, the other set as "seiryuto" chopping hands), a Fudgie Bar and a shuriken "ninja star" (with throwing effect). Using the poll options, rate the figure on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being a total miss and a 10 being plastic perfection, based on what you feel the figure deserves. Ratings should take overall design, sculpt, paint apps and paint deco, accessories and articulation into consideration. Thanks for voting and Yooo Joe!!!

I gave him a 10
Only gripe is i would have rather had his single sheath backpack like the OG had instead they gave him a modern arah jinx backpack which works .. Hes a solid figure no wobble, i like his look and a new body/chest piece is never a bad thing

I can't give him less that a 10 and be honest about it. It's like they STARTED at 10 with him - then threw in extras to take him to 11 or 12. These extras (the head, chocolate bar, throwing swooshes) didn't land with me - but no harm, no foul. Still a 10.

Easy 10 for me. Only nitpicks I can think of (and they aren't enough to dock any points off) are maybe another shuriken without the effects would have been nice and I also think the alternate head could have been a little more different with a more angry or expressive face with his mouth more open or with his teeth showing; like maybe his original card art expression?

6.83 based on my grading scale, so I'll give him a 7 in this poll.
Base Score: 7 Sculpting: 7 Accessoires: 7 Bang for Buck: 7 Articulation: 7 Appearance: 6 Todd McFarlane figuring out how to do swappable feet is what caused this to drop a point or so: Poor Quick Kick just needs some shoes!

I think Quick Kick is really excellent figure. Surprisingly good, actually. The detail on the sculpt is really sharp and it captures the character perfectly. Putting him in all the various martial arts poses is a lot more interesting than the usual gun firing poses. Great decision by the t am to release him in the same wave as Big Boa.
Quick Kick may however been more appropriate as part of the retro line though (to negate complaints about the bare feet). But as I open my figures this doesn’t matter to me at all. The only real issue I have is the inclusion of what seems to be an entirely unnecessary second head? All that is different is the slightly different facial expression (which strangely reminds me of Charlie Sheen). When so many Classified figures are compromised by omission of key accessories, or have questionable reused accessories used as surrogates (Airborne, Gnawgahyde etc), it seems somewhat wasteful to squander tooling budget on the extra head. I know people like the fudgee bar (as an Easter egg) but that also seems like an indulgent inclusion when Airborne doesn’t even get his signature rifle.

11 with the accessories. Like others the second head looking pretty much the same is a head scratcher but the rest is perfection.

He is a great figure and that sculpt is amazing. I will switch out his backpack with Jinx when she makes it out, but otherwise, wow. I was ready to pass on him because while young me thought bare chested bare foot guy on the battlefield was cool, older me is having issues wrapping my head around it, then I told older me to STFU, ordered it, and so glad I did.

Quick Kick is a faithful recreation of the iconic character with only a few minor updates. I agree with others that he feels more like a retro release, but I'm not bothered by not having extensive redesigns for every figure in mainline.
They included plenty of accessories and he looks good. Posability is great and they even made him pinless. He's pretty much everything I'd want in a Quick Kick figure so an easy 10. |
