Yeah, curious to see how this turned out.

I guess it's probably too much to hope that they might have improved the sculpt.

If Star Ace's track record is any indicator I think we can expect it to be even worse!

Only hope would be a decent outfit.... their sculpting work is very subpar on all their latest projects. I’m shocked they keep on going.

TNS posted these on 18th February:

Someone asked for better photos, but there was no response.

Might be one of those cases where retailers don't want to show too much because they fear it'll initiate a boat load of cancellations.

Yeah it's not looking too promising at the moment. And I can't wait to see how short they made her. I'm guessing it won't be close to the 11.8 inches it should be.

With Star Ace it's always best to expect the worst!

They act like those fly by night bootleggers who'll show a photo of the actual Hot Toys figure and then deliver a figure that looks like it was made by... Star Ace!

Yeah but not even with this one! The proto was brutal too

Knowing Star ace they probably put it on a kids body like they do with random Potter characters.

Looks like a couple of US retailers have this in stock this very moment so I don?t think it will be long before we see opened pics. Not from me. Never lol. I?ll try and get the spikey board thing and the shoes maybe but there?s nothing on this figure I?m anticipating will be better than what I already have.

 

[davejames]

Yeah I'd like to pick up the shoes and sword if possible. I still have the motorbike suit from the Play Toys figure, so would love to have that look to go with my other one.

A video review in French by Virtual Devil:

Virtual Devil: "...sh it..."

 

[davejames]

Um, yeah...

It looks like they altered the sculpt, but I still don't see any likeness whatsoever. And while I don't speak French, it wasn't exactly hard to pick up on his disappointment in the figure either.

All those who have bought/will be buying her, will be on the lookout for a custom hs.
Prety sad when you have spent so much in an official figure.

He threw the stand as well, and that looked like the best bit of the set.

Woof! Star Ace makes the worst licensed figures.

Wow that was brutal in every sence,lol.

 

[davejames]

Wow, didn't realize this cost $210. Given the quality I was expecting $140 at the most.
