Looking at the box art and the figure, it looks like something in the design changed. The figure's nose is blue, but on the box, it's white and the blue doesn't go as low on the box art.

It might not be so much that either though...I think what makes the Voltron face design so recognizable is because it's very rigid with geometric features whereas Jumbo Chan is more bubbly and curvy. It might not have translated well having the curvy/bubbly features on the Voltron face.

Perhaps it is also the pupils on Jumbo Chan? The eyes are yellow with pupils whereas Voltron doesn't have pupils. It might have actually worked better had they not given pupils to the eyes OR if they didn't use straight black for the pupils, but something more monochromatic with the yellow?

^^^Sorry couldn't figure out how to embed an image. It's so hard to meowadays LOL


You beat me to it haha. I was going to point out the blue doesn’t go all the way down to the nose on the box art. And bringing the blue down kinda gives that animal look.
Maybe more white in the eyes would’ve been better?
- am I weird for still liking it? lol it’s a fun mold that I’m considering entering for. Also thank you Dave for helping clarify that this is technically Freddy. So really I’m adding to my Freddy collection if I get it. Sounds like a justified purchase to me. Hehe


I think you all pin pointed it. The blue coming all the way down gives it an animal kind of look you'd see in cartoons. It should be more separated like in the box art.


Did any of you end up entering the lottery for this one? It was nice to see some dubs :)

When you compare it to the box art, the white needs to extend beyond his nose so it doesn't look so much like a raccoon.

These jumbo chans are pretty cool looking. I just am thinking of the next series of Jumbo Chans and what their inspiration is going to be next.
