What Ever Happened to Takara's Kill Bill "The Bride" Figure?

[DeltaForceChung]

LET'S SEE . . .

We're going back to 2006 . . . WOW . . . was it that long ago?

I doubt the figure was ever produced for a variety of reasons. I've seen "the outfit" (i.e. jacket, pants, shoes) on eBay from time to time. The outfit is not by TAKARA, but probably a limited production run "knock off".

AOSHIMA produced a variation of the outfit to use with a couple of their "basic" tier LADY MISSION figures from a couple of years ago.

I've seen a couple of "Uma Thurman"-ish heads on eBay throughout the past couple of years and they quite frankly suck @$$.

As far as an "official" figure of "The Bride" . . . it has yet to happen?

I too echo the same sentiment as some others . . . I wish Takara now Takara Tomy managed to acquire the license, but the 1:6 market today is different than what it was back in 2006.

Yeah, a real shame this figure never saw the light of day... and NECA became the only alternative

Wow. I didn't even know there had ever even been talk of a 1:6 The Bride / Beatrix Kiddo figure. She has my vote for the greatest female action hero of all time.

I would love Enterbay or Hot Toys to do the entire Kill Bill licence.

I just wished NECA wouldn't have left out Oren Ishi

I bought that suit off ebay - it's pretty much crap. Triad has a great yellow suit out now - but it's just a generic fantasy motorcycle outfit and isn't really the movie costume.

We really do need HT or EB to pick up the license and do at least 5 or 6 figures.
