By = Durability: Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Kotobukiya Marvel Comics: Dark Phoenix Bishoujo Statue (Toy) Fantastic, anime-inspired, sculpture. The use of translucent materials make this product really stand-out as a very fun piece of eye-candy. The figure is secured to the fire base via a single screw, which does not offer the greatest stability, but the figure is well-balanced, so this is not too much of a concern. Overall, a fantastic piece for the collector/fan. = Durability: Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Kotobukiya Marvel Comics: Dark Phoenix Bishoujo Statue (Toy) My Kotobukiya Dark Phoenix came today. It looks great and has only minimal production flaws from the injection molds. The painted on face isn't quite as sharp/crisp as the pictures but overall the whole piece is as seen on the photo previews. The translucent ends to her hair, hand and feet add some great character with any lights behind her. It feels very durable as well and all the thinner portions flex and bend easily while the base makes the item stable and sturdy. I'm happy with her, especially considering what many plastic statuettes cost comparatively. Finally the box is sweet looking itself. Highly recommended if you like good quality at a far lower price than most PVC based statues. By s.miles (San Antonio, TX) - See all my reviews = Fun: Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Kotobukiya Marvel Comics: Dark Phoenix Bishoujo Statue (Toy) i just received her today. all in all, i'm pretty pleased. the fire beneath her feet has more of a red tone than is apparent in the picture, which is great, very attractive.
my reservation is that she is sort of leaning back more than i realized from looking at the picture. you can tell in the pic that she holds her body at sharp angles, but i now notice that her figure overall is angled back a bit rather than upright. i don't know if this is to suggest that she is about to take off or land, but she is not standing and posing, as it doesn't look balanced. i notice it more from some angles than others, and i expect i will get used to it. she was very secure in her box, so i don't believe i received one that was damaged or flawed in some way. i don't mind her manga face, but it does seem sort of doll-like in person. still, i am happy enough with her that i plan to acquire a few more of these figures. |
