Got Bishoujo Christie Monteiro in the mail today!
I wasn't going to get this one at first as she deemed a bit "thick" for my liking and is pretty exposed but after reading some reviews and having someone convince me to get it, I did
Overall I like it a lot! She is a little smaller than the other Bishoujo figures, the base isn't as interesting as the others and is pretty basic. The base has 3 patterns you can add to it so there are 4 variations for the base including blank. That's a pretty cool option to have, in my opinion. I personally use the one with the Illustration as I like seeing the figure and it's reference. The other two variations are an autographed plate by the project manager and the Tekken Tag 2 logo.
The sculpt on the figure it amazing! you see more skin folds as she has a little more fat on her and her clothing (If you can call it that) and accessories are really nicely detailed and painted.
There is a bit of a seeming problem on this one but nothing major.
Hair is beautiful too! I really like the painting on her, great metallic paint and nice subtle shading on the darker skin. The hair is half translucent as usual and, as usual, it gives off a nice effect!

These include a shot of her next to Invisible Woman for size comparison.
I will try to add some outdoor light pictures tomorrow.
