    Sonic & Knuckles Face Off Backpack
    This is called the "Face Off Backpack".And with good reason! It features faces only for Sonic & Knuckles...in a face-off position! It's Knuckles vs Sonic as they literally butt-heads in this paint dripping and sketchy-styled design. The red, blue & tan paints are shown 'dripping' from/on the characters faces, which…

Don't these look like action figures?
They're not. They're static figures packaged like figures that are articulated. (So technically they are 'display figures' but...) Orbot & Cubot are pre-posed, and what they're doing there in the photos is all they do. Because they are robots they lend themselves really well to looking like action figures with the robotic joints/ball joints etc.
The package is a bubble card with Boom logo placed on the background & a 2nd one on the plastic figure-holder inside for a 3D look. The back says "Collect them all" & shows the other figure 2-packs (the enerbeam sets)

Figure Review:
Package looks good, never see any damaged ones or crushed bubbles.
Boom did NOT change the look of these henchbots from the regular Sonic cannon look, so you can collect these guys even if you are not a fan of Boom design/look.
Bases are fairly heavy so they stand up fairly well
Show accurate! These DO look just like Orbot & Cubot

Cons:
Packaged to look like action figures when they are not
No Action / pose-ability*

Opinion Zone:
You know for a fact that if *Jazwares still had the license, these would have been action figures. They're to the scale of, and in the price range of, Tomy's other Boom figures that DO have move-able joints. They just didn't make the easy-pickings already robotic looking robots into action figures...what with their already robo-looking ball joints & etc.

Buy or not to buy?
Buy. Even as a static figure, these look good, without big paint flaws, flimsiness or anything that's plagued previous companies. Their poses are fun, and they're good if you like Boom or not.
