Dc multiverse jessica cruz figure3/29/2023 ![]() ![]() Her legs however cannot move backward at all because the sculpted butt-cheeks prevent that backward movement. Her legs move up and she can also almost do the splits. While she doesn't have an ab-crunch, there is upper chest rotation that moves in an approximately 10/90 ratio in the front and 30/70 in the rear. (This is true of many Hasbro Marvel Legends female figures as well, so it's not just a DC Univerese/Mattel thing either.) The fists can rotate and move slightly up and down as well. The rationale is that the joints at the elbow that can move into a 90 degree angle can also rotate as well. There appears to be a common practice in the action figure industry in general, where female figures neglect to include bicep cuts that swivel. Head moves slightly from left to right, and slightly up and a fair bit down, Arms can move up and down, as well as rotate in a circular fashion. The squeeks are still there and the pegs are incredibly thin. ![]() The hair sculpt also makes this a more difficult proposition even without the scary neck joint. Mostly, the fear is that the neck peg that articulates the head of these newer DC Multiverse figures will break and has happened with other Multiverse figures I've had before. Her neck can presumably move in a 360 rotation, but the newer DC Multiverse neck pieces are scary and I'd rather not put it to the test for fear of breakage. I count 27 points of articulation for Jessica Cruz in total. Personally, I've been mixing DC Direct and DCUC for a while now, so unless the scale difference is outrageous like NECA or McFarlane figures, I can make it work. However, that will also make Cruz slightly taller than most of your other female and male figures. Cruz is about the height of the DC Universe Classics Wonder Woman (who has somewhat of an Amazonian stature compared to other female figures in the DCUC line). I think the body is slightly taller than most of those previous female figures, so you can certainly fudge her in with your DC Universe Classics collection (unless you're a scale-nazi). I know a lot of action figure collectors prefer this body type to the previous DC Universe Classics standards. ![]() This sculpt is on the new DC Multiverse female body type. Initially a host to the The Ring of Volthoom, Jessica Cruz overcomes her extreme trauma and debilitating anxiety to become a sentinel of the spaceways, a Green Lantern! Cruz appears alongside long time Legionnaire Star Boy aka Thom Kallor in the DC Universe Original Movie, Justice League vs The Fatal Five and is part of Mattel's last forray into six-inch DC Action Figures with the DC Multiverse line. ![]()
