If you've seen pictures of Tanus Spijek then you should know that the figure is identical to J'Quille's body with the exception of his face! After seeing the picture I wasn't sure what to think, but after opening the figure you really can appreciate this figure even though they try hard to disguise the obvious usage of J'Quille's body.
So let's start with the body, and it's surprises. First off the tint is much darker, a blackish grey, and to make the chest of the figure seem different two jutting bumps (they look like stomach brests) are placed under the figures brestline. The only other difference is that the body does not have J'quille's front pouch and belt line. Although this is the only difference there is a surprise, and you would not notice this surprise if you do not open your figures. Not only does Tanus have a long furry tail, but the entire backside of the fig has a SKUNK line starting from the tip of the tail to the top of the head. You may be able to see the white skunk trail from the top of the bubble, but I didn't notice it in the package. It was a real neat surprise.
Then there is the head of Tanus which looks awesome. He just reminds me of Steve the Sloth from Ice Age and although I chuckle at the figure for that reason I do take the detail and the incredible way that Hasbro has managed to make this figure look different from J'Quille. When standing them next to eachother they really do look different.
The only real downside to this figure is it's stupid soft plastic rifle. I just threw the gun in a box with J'Quille's (both guns are identical).
This fig gets a B+
