Very Cool Toys "The Witch" (Bayonetta)

[Masao]

Not what you want to hear, but your best bet for a replacement body for this particular character may actually be a doll body. Look up Integrity Meteor body.

The legs are waaaaay too long on those, & the joints on that would be way too visible under the outfit, & would pinch the (not super durable) material. Pretty sure a Phicen S22 will work fine, since that appears to be what VeryCool knocked off. Her legs are the same length as TBLeague Dawns, her heels are just angled higher. They really aren't especially long. The boots make her look lankier than she is. On the off chance it doesn't work, I'll find a use for the extra body.

The legs are too long? Are we talking about the same character??

It looks like the legs a bit short to me.

That's a statue.....based off of her proportions in Bayonetta 1. The action figure in question does not have those proportions. She comes on a standard sized body, albeit a cheap, shiny knockoff one.

The VeryCool Toys 1/6 scale figure is closer in proportions to her Smash Bros appearance and doesn't have legs that long. I literally posted a photo of the figure. I don't know how I'm being unclear or how to make this more apparent. LOL The figure I bought has the SAME LENGTH LEGS as normal TBLeague figures. If I put her on a body with disproportionately long legs, her jumpsuit would not cover the full length & she'd have bare skin between her ankles and her boots.

I am not trying to match the proportions of the first game, but to replace the existing Phicen knockoff body with a legit one of the same type.

That definitely would not fit the costume she comes with. The VCToys figure's legs are not that long.

I was looking around and found that the Ashley Wood figures would probably fit the original character best.

Since Phicen is making anime style bodies, you might consider those too.

Bought one for my friend who's a huge Bayo fan as a combined christmas/birthday gift and she's absolutely over the moon (no pun intended) with it. IMO it's great value for money, a bit light on accessories sure, but the head sculpt is great and the body suit fits real neatly. Considered one myself but I'll wait it out and see if anyone decides to do a Bayo 2 version.

For anyone who received theirs with broken glasses, Very Cool wasn’t smart enough to make extras, so they are making more (word came from Amelia at Giantoy).

Wanted to share my "custom" 1/6 Bayonetta which is essentially just a simple kitbash:

• Head/Glasses: Very Cool Toys
• Body/everything else: YMToys X Acme

Pretty happy with how it looks. I like the more exaggerated proportions of the YMToys X Acme figure body and much prefer the Very Cool Toys head, so I combined them.
The chest area is too big so I do plan on wrapping tape to shrink it a bit. YMToys body skin color is also lighter so might brush on some pastels to darken it.

Last pic is a comparison with the YMToys X Acme head. Very Cool Toys beats it by a MILE.

Since I love Bayonetta, I bought one during the Black Friday sale on AliExpress. Beautiful toy but the chains and those rails on her boots sure are fragile! I had to buy replacement boots because the left one on mine was missing one side of the rails. Hair can easily get messy. Guns won't stay put in her hands. She's definitely hard to play with if you're like me who likes changing poses to make little comics or video stories with toys. She's more of a "pose her once, clean her up, leave her there" type of display piece. I had such a hard time re-attaching her chain. The circle part where the chain attaches was definitely challenging as I don't have a magnifying glass nor tweezers. I had to slowly "feel" my way to making the circle/ring get into the chain. Then I had to squeeze the ring to close it, or at least make the open gap smaller, and then I had to reattach it to the tiny thread or whatever it is on Bayonetta's outfit that holds the chain. It still falls off sometimes when I move Bayonetta, I'm thinking of putting tape on the gap once I get tiny tweezers.

Frustrating but cute toy.

Yeah, I sold mine, albeit with the intent of grabbing one again in the future, but found her to be similarly frustrating.

Ultimately, the character just doesn't work super well in this format, & I see why official companies could have looked at the character design & thought it was impossible to recreate in 1/6 without it being kind of a disaster to interact with. Bayo's costume just doesn't really work under the conditions created by real world physics.

She definitely has shelf presence once you get her posed, but getting there can come with a string of curses.
& Those heels & guns should have been metal or just been fully integrated. Way too delicate an attachment method.

Bayonetta is definitely best suited for statue form.

F4F announced they got the Bayonetta license a few years ago but I think nothing became of it except some gun statues.
