This is basically a 27cm (roughly 1/6) action doll from Mega House featuring Lacus Clyne, as appear in Gundam SEED Destiny anime series. She can be display with or without her long robe.

Her face is sculpted in soft PVC and has a very large piece of hair. Her hair is in fix position and there is nothing much you can do with it.

It is slightly disappointing in accessories department where it comes with nothing. Not even a spare hand is provided.

Figure Body, Outfit and Value
The figure body is as well articulated as a doll should be. There is not complain here except for the fact that Mega House has omitted a doll stand knowing that this babe could not stand on her own.

I seem to note that the body is making use or similar to an Obitsu female "Soft Bust" (SB) body. The torso is actually wrapped with some soft skin and the breast is, well, the exciting SB type. The joints are detachable and the divider lines are sometimes ugly when seen.

There are no scale indicated on the box and I assume it be a sixth scale. This is a 27cm doll, which is compliance to an 1/6 Azone International doll. It is a little shorter that a 12-inch figure but we have to keep in mind that it is about the right scale for an Asian lady.

The face sculpt is not perfect but I do think Mega House has much improved on the sculpting since their first 2 action dolls in this series. I guess Mega House learned their mistake from their first action doll, Lunamaria Hawke and their second release, Haduki from Tsukuyomi -MOON PHASE-, where both doll comes with poor face sculpting.

 

For a 15K action doll, I am expecting Armani quality. However, it turn out to be a mega disappointment. The material and workmanship is freaking poor and definitely worth every penny that are paid for. The long robe comes with plasticky pink stripes and her blouse is a lint magnet. The threading on her sleeves are simply horrible.

   
 
 

Conclusion
I do not think the quality of this action doll is up to par with the 15K price tag. The package comes with no accessories and a doll stand. We do know that an Obitsu female SB body is roughly 1.6K and Mega House is charging a premium of 13.4K extra for the lousy clothing and face sculpt.

This item is overpriced and I will not even consider buying this without a 50% discount from HLJ.
