Lancelot Shadow's armor isn't as elaborate as Sonic's, but it looks great. The visor works well & easily. REMEMBER! This is JW's first 5 inch size Shadow figure. They've done well here, as his expression is good, the eyes aren't mis-printed & everything seems proportional. The sword is great, with lots of texture & detail

With these photos you can see how his helmet is held on, with a strap under the top spike. There's a little hole in the side where the pegs for the visor fit. The 'hover holes' on the bottoms of his shoes are represented as a texture on the armor boots. His head doesn't turn, or has extremely limited movement, because of his low spikes but wide shoulder armor pieces.
His expression is slightly vague. Most Shadow toys are shown scowling, frowning etc, but this one's mouth is a sort of longer-than-usual pressed in line. He looks calm/serious rather than emo/ragey.

The bottoms of their feet have decent detail, with an actual split heel for Sonic & good texturing & paint for Lancelot. Lancelot is just a tad taller than Sonic, as it should be, so it seems they're to scale

Here's Lancelot Shadow in action with his sword. The hand can hold it, though with all the detail its slightly heavy for him/he can tip. The visor looks good, seems to clip on well over the helmet. Since this is a 5 inch, he can have some nice poses. 

New Joint Articulation:
For these armor figures, Jazwares debuts a NEW joint style they have never used before. You'll notice it right away. The joints make little 'snapping' sounds as they go through their degrees of motion. This seems to be used to help a limb hold a pose. The range of motion, and which way the joint is facing is VERY HINDERED by the armor. The thighs seem to rotate all the way around somehow, but the hips only want to go one way or another. Knees can be confusing, especially on Sonic. Some figures may have too-loose joints, but it varies. Posing them can be difficult because it's hard to tell what the joint should & shouldn't be made to do, but they do feel sturdy. (which was an issue with previous figures)

Over All: Very Great! Very Detailed!
Price: They're 11.99, which is reasonable for the accessories, detail & figure size.
Quality: Heavy heads make these guys easy to tip over. Sonic's odd armor shoes don't help him stand. Paint flaws are likely minimal. New joints CAN have loose-ness issues, but it varies by figure. Visors snap on and stay in place. Glowing sword glows SO BRIGHTLY in the dark. It's very impressive. Articulation is somewhat limited by the armor, but that can't be helped. You can still pose them nicely most of the time. Hollow heads would help them out, especially in Sonic's case where his amored head is even heavier than usual combined with his extra long thin shoes which make him tippy.
Recommend? Absolutely. They're way different than anything made before, they make sense with the game, & detail for price range is also really good.

What's going on here? Jazwares is seemingly making quite a few mistake figures. Look at this SBK Shadow...his armor is distinctly purple! The silver/gray color of it is what it should be (see loose figure there) but then in the box, it really is that purpleish hue. Was there a problem with the batch of silvertone paint? The game never had him in purple. The box is totally identical, so it's not some kind of intentional "special paint". If you scroll up and compare this boxed one to the figure above you'll see how they missed the gray they needed. It's especially obvious on the sword comparison pic directly above.
