Gogul has his review up on YouTube with a really excellent look at her. Honestly, she looks great. I would have bought her if they made her in 1/6 scale. But alas.

So much is right with this figure... but in 1/7th.
So my choice is a Lilliputian Furiosa versus a pin-head Furiosa...

Man, watching that review there really is a TON of nice detail on this figure when you look at it up close. Which just makes it even more frustrating that they got the size so incredibly wrong.

VTS took one huge short cut. Don't know whether they really expected to get away with it merely by insisting they only have one female body to use. They didn't even put extenders in as they did with DarkZone Tracy, so the concept was flawed from the beginning: the outfit was created specifically for the small, stock body.
And yet it's just so well done otherwise.
Art Figures (or Special Figures as they're going by with the Lawmaster) must be watching this development, and spotting an opportunity to catch customers on the rebound.
She's not even up to Dutch or Murphy's shoulders.
Do you have Jyn Erso?
No sorry no jyn erso here I’m afraid.
Thanks for sharing the link Asta. Didn’t have time to do articulation as I was ranting too much but might do a quick one today. Needless to say there’s wonder woman level of articulation.

Here's the lovely Jyn with stock Furiosa (pegs removed):
They're virtually the same height, if not identical, taking into account that Jyn's boots have thicker soles.

When you questioned the material her trousers were made of I looked up the screen used costumes.
It's hard to tell, because they're so weathered and dusty:
However, they do look similar to Max's, which were worn leather:
So they probably were leather in those parts, but VTS made them too shiny and new for both figures. Something that Art tried to rectify by going with a matt, non-pleather fabric.
And that loose sudded strap, gogul, attaches to the little black loop on the arm. You have to open the metal ring a little and pass it through the loop.

Hmm, same height as Jyn but still clearly underscaled.
I so wanted this figure and she was my favorite part of Fury Road, but I just sent KGHobby my cancel notice. Hopefully I’ll get refunded my deposit. Hopefully someone else will make a 1/6 Version. Side by side there is no way this child size figure looks like she could take on Max’s character in an all out brawl like they did in the movie.

Jyn is perfectly scaled, which was good.
But didn't HT pull a 'Furiosa' with their Rey?

They did. Same kind of issue. Finn too tall, Rey too small.

Really desperate for a Furiosa figure and would love for this to have a solution.
Here, I superimposed the Furiosa clothing to the body on the right. Matched the crotch and waist of the pants to where it should be on the body. Only rotated and flipped stuff and only thing I free transformed is the shirt. I also think the head should sit slightly lower. I'm not really familiar with 1/6 bodies but, I believe, If at least the pants fit, this could work. How tall would she be if this is the body used?
What body is this? Is there a non-seamless body that's similar in size?
I'm really considering not cancelling my PO now.
The headsculpt fits tightly to the neck on the stock body so would have to cut away the excess neck area on the HS to try and get it on that Phicen. I don’t think the HS would work though as its really undersized for 1/6 scale. Just looking at her next to Ripley shows the head is too small to fit a similar sized body like the Phicen.
I mean technically this is an unlicensed artistic interpretation of a post apocalyptic female that just so happens to also be called Furiosa but just feels like it’s close but not close enough.
I agree with displaying Charlize this way but maybe just paint the body the same color as the head

Sorry I messed up this wasn’t based on Charlize, it was based on another person and now I can see they nailed it! VTS for the win!!

If the Phicen is like Ripley proportions then it’s a definite no. Peanut head. Plus I have discovered you can make high end bobble head figures with the stock body. I’m gonna be rich!

There’s no way a body swap is going to work. The only bodies tall enough to match Charlize’s height is a Phicen, and even the arm would be undersized with that shoulder harness, unless you hacked her arm off at the elbow. This was a pooch screw by VTS. Don’t kid yourself into thinking it’s anything but. Not to mention, good luck getting thos tiny, skinny pants onto a Phicen without having to cut them all the way up the back, and the waist would never fit.
the live action photo shows she has bigger body smaller head. and with a smaller head it helps make the look shoulder wider. you should be more concerned about how to install the arm to the new body instead.
the shirt would fit because it's only showing the top you should worry about the pants too tight to fit.
Sometimes you gotta make lemonade. Decided to get her a little dirtier and put a bit of rust on shoulder pad and arm. Added sand colours into the costume via dry brush and just did a mix of 5 colour drybrush to the shirt, belts and pouches to give them depth. It’s all subtle but just makes her look better.
Oh and I gave her the grease facepaint. She sure looks better with that! Recommend you all do it.
