Saw these go up at One Sixth Kit this week. I think they look pretty good.
Nothing since July..Looks great! But whatever happened to the Mars Toys Gus twin pack?

How many years you been waiting?
MAT002 was supposed to be Gus Fring back in Jan 2021.
Now MAT002 is their Nicholson Joker.
This is MAT010
I'm total lost as far as Mars Toys plan...
Judging by one of your old posts/
This figure has been promised since before Jan 2021 and was teased for ages before the PO finally went up in March 2022.
So, it’s not actually one of my longest held POs but it is definitely the figure that has spent longest in development.
They did admit that the latest delay was down to them struggling to make the glasses.The Mars Gus used my glasses for the advertising photos. Maybe they thought they would be easy to replicate in production. Oops.

Well, I’ve had a pretty strong Breaking Bad week.
Got my Topo Walt/Heisenberg set at the start and PT Jesse at the end.
By no means is this a high quality figure, but it does exactly what it says on the tin. You get a Jesse Pinkman on your shelf for cheap.
Proportions and height are good, the body is sturdy, he’s wearing a thin bodysuit underneath his clothing, which fills him out just enough, hands and accessories are few and far between but what you do get is satisfactory. The baseball bat is even made of metal.
The upper body clothing is actually pretty good, especially the hoody.
His baggy pants are a little cheap looking but they hand well and fold naturally without looking stiff and blocky. They’re also a very unique feature in my collection so I just appreciate having them.

The standard head has a pretty decent likeness in-hand.

It’s quite soft and the hair is particularly ice-cream-like. Definitely the biggest downgrade from the PO shots. It’s truly awful. This is surely a recast, and not a good one. Classic PT.
The facial hair could do with being heavier so I may add that to enhance the likeness.
The shaved head version doesn’t resemble Jesse at all imo.

And the hat doesn’t fit very well. Another huge downgrade from what was advertised. The top vinyl print ring (originally coloured fabric) prevents it from opening up naturally.
This guy shines most as part of an ensemble. The colours really pop and create a surprisingly striking display for just a few guys in plain clothing.

When Mars Toys’ Gus fiiiinaly releases in his purple suit, he’s going to fit in wonderfully.
BB could end up being my most colourful display outside of MMPR.
What an unexpected outcome.
All in all, if you need a Jesse for your display, PT has you covered and I think they at least did a better job than ThreeZero, CGL, and ZGJKTOYS.
The Sensation sculpt utterly embarrasses this but I think the body and clothing here are on par if not better.
Give it a go if you’re not too fussy and just need the character for the sake of completionism.
Just found a review as well- we have oddly different takes on much of the figure.
