Finn has notoriously been a weak seller.  Hasbro has a big challenge ahead of it to manufacture a Finn figure that can sustain consumer interest.  Unfortunately, while this is not a terrible figure, it’s probably not going to be enough to succeed, unless Hasbro limits production and carry forwards.

Finn is a simple 5POA, including a ball jointed neck.  He comes with a large weapon.  The colors of his uniform, like most of his Reistance colleagues, is fairly drab.

Pros:  While not exactly the spitting image of John Boyega, it’s a reasonable face sculpt at this scale - better than Poe.  The paint application is pretty sharp, if bland.  The sculpt of the uniform, is sufficiently detailed.  His jacket is a separate piece, and looks well done.  He stands solidly, and holds the included weapon firmly.

Cons:  This is the first figure I have come across where the Force Link audio is of poor quality.  I had to listen a few times to some of the lines to understand them.  The weapon has no paint details (like most of the blasters in the line).  He’s simply a dull figure.

As usual, we start with our baseline of 5.  Finn meets the requirements of a decent 5POA figure, but lacks almost any appealing design aesthetic.  Finn gets a very unenthusiastic 5.  Here’s hoping he doesn’t clog the pipeline.
