PREORDER NOW! [iminime] The Deadly Vipers - The Angry Bride, The Yakuza Queen

[Lejuan]

Your comment makes me even more annoyed at myself for not getting either of them

 

[Lawrence]

I guess I have that

I don't really see that many mods done to Oren posted here. Seems like, other than the footwear, peeps are happy with it as is.

 

[Darthy]

Email me again mate, Ive been swamped.

I did it mate!

Bah. Don't know if it's a case of wanting something I don't have, but Oren might be more impressive than Beatrix. Nice pics PCK.

As a non-buyer of either set - because I'm poor, not because I'm not interested - I reckon O-Ren is a knockout. Beatrix looks more haggard than sexy - hers was a difficult expression to pull off and I don't think Iminime quite hit the mark. O-Ren's expression was easier, and the results are excellent (neck seam aside).

O-Ren is a dope fig no if, ands, or buts. I guess I'm pumped on her because I'm a mega fan but putting that aside it's a fantastic offering. The sculpt and paint are amazing, the hair pin & dart are bang on and the Kimono is perfect. The look of the character is rare in 1/6 and I like my collection to be a menagerie, so this adds another splash of a very different element.

There really aren't any mods to do to O-Ren and she's pretty set straight out of the box. Her outfit covers up the body so there aren't any awkward looking areas. It hidden and holds poses so for my liking a swap isn't necessary. The only thing that she could use is a good set of HT hands.

I chalk up the neck joint issue for both figs as one of those things you just have to overlook in customs. I'm not sure how much better they could have executed that area in dealing with this body. The sculpts end with a "stump" which sits flat on top of the neck. I don't think the answer was make the hole larger so the neck can fit inside the sculpt. That would just make the sculpt sit lower on the body while still not solving the seam issue, and the necks are a good length as they are


But don't sleep on Beatrix! If we had met when I was back in business, she would have been my NUMBER one lady



She may look more haggard but I think that Uma appeared that way many times in the flicks (poor gal ). Uma is prettier in the movies than this figure suggests but I think the expression captures the vibe of the character very well. The likeness is amazing too. In hand and side by side it's a coin toss which of the two is better.

I don't have the Play Toy in hand but I did see it in a case at a local shop. Going off that and pics I feel that aside from the engraving on the blade not one aspect can hold a match to Iminime's set. If the body is taller then maybe that too. That's my biggest gripe about the Bride's set and it's not even Iminime's fault. She should be on a body that is as tall as the male TT's but as far as I know that doesn't exist. All the female bodies out there are shorter so it's another thing that you just have to deal with

They'd both look even better with their proper lipstick color (especially Beatrix because the paint app looks like she's not wearing any). Also the missed the patch on the back of the biker jacket

P.S. We need more KB figs!!!!

VERY TRUE!

Good points PCK. I'm not overly bothered by the neck seams either, or even the default bodies. Although, with the bodies, there are options, so I don't mind trying to find a better body if I can. Plus I need an extra body for my biker outfit anyway. I might experiment with the extra SSC Catwoman body I purchased. See how that turns out I guess.

You found the green smiley!!

I love the figures the only thing that bothered me was the hands! the colours didn't match the face's and Orens the worst but the fact that only the hands on The Bride had been painted to try match and the spares hands not just seemed silly!

I agree, not painting O-Rens hands is just lazy. I must say though that when i asked Denny about my missing certificate, he sent me one the day after. Thats pretty cool of hm!

nice one the hands are a easy fix though iv ordered a set of hot toys sarah conner hands, much better quality and colour match fot both figures

Couple of shots, very happy with these figures after a bit of fuzzing and body mod.

Also the missed the patch on the back of the biker jacket

Not for nothing, but I don't think anyone knows what that patch is. I've done the research, and I couldn't find any reference for the full view of it.

 

[PopCultKid]

Nice shots Emma!!

I didn't do the full research on it, so if that's the case then there's nit much to say. I'm imagining that they used the shot of the screen used jacket (whivh I'm not sure is actually screen used because the back patch is missing) . I just think that there are enough shots of the back patch available to zoom in and figure it out if a full clear shot of reference wasn't accessible.

Might have to look at the end of the credits to see what "sponsor" was used for that last patch...

Sorry to hear about some QC things you seem to have going on. Both of my sculpts have a seem but neither have a gap. I have 1 slightly lopsided body but it's not as drastic as yours (my other 2 for the Bride are fine and O-ren is too). My lop sided one can be futzed and posed to be straight but I had to strip it down to see (it's hard to do with the clothes on). If I position the torso and hips the right way it levels out and can stand straight perfectly. I'm just going to use this one for extreme poses because with the legs more spread and the knees bent it's easy to get a natural looking pose and still stand sturdy. The lopsided-ness is only an issue when she's posed standing upright with pin straight legs.

How do the Ada & Alice bodies compare height-wise to the stock Alpha? Which is the tallest of the 3? Also how do the HT necks compare in size with the Alpha? Skinnier, thicker, or about the same size? Like do the sculpts sit flush on the rim of the neck like they do on the stock bodies or is the HT neck a little skinnier and fits into the hole of the sculpts?

i love the alice body mike, its a tad taller than ada, not much....the neck are perfect, heads fot like a glove......the body denny used isnt bad,,, just do some shaving dwon of the inner thighs and hips....i done this,,,,,uma has long thin legs.....of course this may not matter to anybody........but i wanted the legs a litttle slimmer.......

i agree with oren. she is perfect..........and the komono covers almost all.....sorry but i am not a fan of sculpted shoes when there is a decent alternative out there, not just for this issue. but any for me...the playtoy are fine,,,,,,i had to do a paif for oren,,,, i think it looks just better.......if there was a list of 15 or more,,, i would do the o'ren sandals......you would have to do a foot mod....dremmel between the toes a little fior the flush fit........

 

[PopCultKid]

Sounds good Marty, I gotta get me some Alice bodies! Even if not for this those are good to have in the morgue

That's using the old noodle! Good thinking, I'm going to check that in a little while
