At Comic Con in San Diego, John Warden said Jinx would be all new.

The design looks cool, but her top really seems to inhibit alot of her arm articulation. That's the only thing keeping me from liking the figure.

You're not wrong. Jinx is a member of the Arashikage ninja clan and Storm Shadow's cousin.
I didn't realize this was a reuse of the Movie Akiko figure, which you can currently get for a song pretty much anywhere.

It's weird they gave this character double jointed elbows despite using one of the worst bucks still in circulation, but the Steel Corps female trooper doesn't have them (meaning she can't hold a rifle at all). Oh well.
I didnt realize the skull mask was a separate piece so thats cool. But she still just isnt looking that cool to me so ima pass.
Nice that they gave this body double elbows now. I'm still not sure I'll get her though
