Comment
This is my first purchase on ToySoldier's 1/6 scale action dolls. Like Hot Toys,
ToySoldier is another action doll company originating from Hong Kong but one of the unique
features that I noticed from ToySoldier is that the figures are having boots made of
leather.
Actually, the unique boots does not warrant a buying decision on me. The actual reason
for buying this figures is, guess what, she is a babe with guns.

Figure, Cloths and Accessories
The figure's head is sculpted. This mean that no rooted hair such as those in the Cool
Girls series. When I first saw her on the official photos, she looks much more feminine.
This might be the noticeable eye shadow. The release item does not really have any of those
make up put on and the result is that she looks more like a pretty boy rather than a girl.
It is really easy to mistaken that this she is a he from afar.
What shines on this figure is her clothing. I guess ToySoldier is thorough in this
department. It is hard to explain but one has to feel it to know it. Every single piece of
clothing is as real as possible with the actual fabric and nothing comes from cheap plastic.
The green Kevlar vest is an interesting piece. It comes with a label inside the vest. What
is more is ToySoldier is putting some thin plates embedded inside the vest to make it not
just look real but also feel real. The gray sweater comes with workable string and zippers.
The inner T-Shirt comes with a very nice and cheeky logo and quote. Her jeans is well, a
jeans and decorated with a leather belt. Unlike other action doll manufacturers, she comes
with a leather boots.
Next is about her articulations. The body is well articulated with the common n-points of
articulations that you can find in almost every doll out there. I guess the numerically
superior number of articulations is useless to gauge an action-doll posability. I believe
the more important point here is that how restrictive is her clothing. I am quite please
with her upper torso where none of the clothing there is too restrictive. The vest is thin
enough enabling her to hold the shotgun in both hands. Her jean is another story. It
is a trim fit and it is quite long. I feel like she looks disproportionate by her long leg.
Moreover, the tight jeans does not allow me get her kneeling with one leg down.
She comes with a single barrel shotgun with 6 shells and a hand pistol. What surprised me
is her hand pistol is completely made of metal. It is cool to have anything that beeps
whenever it pass thru the metal detector. when I tried to pose her with the handgun, it is
then I started to question the wisdom of ToySoldier. The gun is simply too damn heavy for
her joints and I really could not pose much with it.
There are 2 issues that I am displeased with this figure. Firstly, her head come off
easily. It is a bit dumb where there is neither screw nor glue to secure her head to the
body. Whenever I move her head a bit too much and her head simply come off. Secondly, it is
her boots. I know that it is hard to have manufacturer to produce real boots made of leather
but the soft boots make her unstable and easily fall down from her pose. It is not a big
problem, but I do wish they could make the figure stand better on its own.
Conclusion
In conclusion, I am impressed with ToySoldier in terms of the clothing. It is crazily
detailed. The head sculpting is almost as good as Sideshow but it still lacks some awe
factor in it. The only reason why it stops me from giving a perfect score is owing to her
head fall off problem. Besides, it is the best militaristic babe action doll that you can
get out there (maybe this is the only one).
This item is purchased locally from Berjaya Time Square.

Responses to this page:
This figure is actually based on Keira Knightly's role in DOMINO about a real life bounty hunter. Do watch the movie, if yr able to find it, it kicks ass. Sadly the prototype pics of the figure were more pretty.
Thx for the info, JuN.
This is the official movie site.
