Summary
The Toy Fair 2019 Exclusive Blade figure offers a distinctive take by blending comic and movie elements with unique features like two additional bald head sculpts and a tactical armored shirt without the trench coat of the regular release. It includes an extensive accessory set—multiple interchangeable hands, two folding red blades, a handgun, submachine gun, pump shotgun, stakes, and blast effects—with a strong magnetic sword holder on the back, enhancing display options. This exclusive variant caters primarily to completists and hardcore fans, providing a more varied and tactical aesthetic compared to the forthcoming standard release.

Reviews
Pros
- Includes two additional bald head sculpts exclusive to Toy Fair, evoking the Spike TV series look
- Four total head portraits with detailed facial hair, tattoos, and varied expressions including snarling and calm
- Impeccable paint applications with realistic skin tones, tattoos fading, and fine details on teeth and accessories
- Unique armored front and back shirt with red piping, distinct from the regular release’s trench coat and t-shirt combo
- Extensive accessories including 12 hands (six pairs), 6 stakes, 2 folding blades with holsters, 2 swords with magnetic back sheath holder
- Multiple pairs of sunglasses (4 black lens, 4 red lens) with tight fit on all head sculpts
- Strong articulation with double-jointed elbows, improved ankle rocker/pivot, and good head/neck movement despite some torso restrictions
- Magnetic sword sheath holder on back allows flexible wear with or without coat, no visible attachment points when removed
- New shotgun with pump-action and unique muzzle blast effect, plus handgun and submachine gun with removable magazines and blast effects
- Figure stands about 6 3/4 inches, slightly taller than average for the line due to boots
- Tattoos extend to back of neck and arms for continuity when heads swapped
Cons
- Arms feel a bit skinny, especially around elbows
- Shirt armor restricts some torso crunch and waist rotation
- Minor paint wear can occur when inserting blades into holsters due to tight fit
- Lacks the iconic black and red lined trench coat included with the standard release
- Magnetic sword holder is not very sturdy and can loosen with movement
- Exclusive variant only available via Toy Fair or secondary market, making it hard to obtain
- Bald smirking head sculpt less favored due to less dynamic expression and slight cockeyed look
