Okay, this figure is great and all, but when does he get the metal arms ![](\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/tadc_asc1_jax1.jpg\" "\\"Jax")
and join the Mortal Kombat tournament?<\/p>\n
Jax is a terrible character. He's specifically designed to be a terrible character! Gooseworx made him that way on purpose, pouring every despicable trait she loves in characters into what she once described as \"my awful boye.\" [and we wouldn't know just how awful he was at being a boy until much, much later --ed.] He's the secondary protagonist of the show, an annoying jerk who puts up a cruel, distancing facade to hide how much he actually cares about everyone, and how much he's afraid of something happening to them, or them rejecting him; if they're not going to embrace him fully, he'll make himself their villain and push them away first. Like, he poses as the funny rule-pusher, but he's not doing it to be funny. Basically, he's like if Bugs Bunny was an indiscriminate jerk for no reason, instead of being a constructive jerk only to people who wronged him first.<\/p>\n

Jax is one of the taller characters, thanks to his ears, but even counting those, he's still supposed to be shorter than Kinger<\/a>. This mini, however, is much bigger. He's just standing there with his arms crossed and a vaguely mischievous grin. His eyes are off to the side, like he's just said something cutting to somebody behind him and he's trying to sneak a peek to make sure they were hurt by it. His teeth and eyes are a different color than his gloves, and the lavender of his skin goes well with his dusty rose overalls. The figure doesn't have a tail, which is kind of a plot point in the series - him having it or not. But that was later, and these are all based on the early episodes.<\/p>\n
