This is such a simple figure, yet there’s so much at the same time. Empress could probably do the Jack O pose and that one Vegeta Kick he did on Cell with that kind of articulation. I’m totally gonna get her one day, and probably make her dance with stop motion.
Oh my. They nailed it with the articulation, this is so awesome for animating. Definitely getting her when the opportunity comes. Thank you for this review!
I kept seeing people post their GSC bonus with the box and I was thinking “why do people keep posting their McDonald’s receipts with figure?” Because I thought the bonus packaging was one of those papers you take when you wait for your food haha
Yes I have the trike preordered as well! I don't remember the sun being blocked out, but I'd say from a figure production stand point it's probably that they've learned more in the past decade and thus can get paler shades. So now GSC can better capture the white/gray skin of most BRSes like Empress without actually using straight white or gray on the figures.
i only bought the Empress POParade one for my BRS collection , figma price is getting ridiculous nowdays recently bought rare psp WRS from 2nd hand for cheap price .
The monotone-ness comment is in regard to her paint job. All the other figmas have shading but Empress does not. (And she is much shorter than most characters until she regains her old form lol)
First of all, great review! Getting the thoughts straight from both a Figma and BRS fan is valuable. Some questions though, is the collar/scarf removable? And does her face plate system sport the new 'universal peg' (the peg is usually clear plastic -- seen so far in Hololive, Figma Styles, and Love is War).
Thank you thank you! And the collar is removable, to a degree. There's a ball joint it attaches to (no peg, just hooks over the ball) that's directly connected to Empress' neck. I don't have any other new figmas (I think the newest one I own other than Empress is figma Rin Hoshizora from 2016) to compare Empress' peg to, but it is a clear plastic peg so I'll say yes, she does have the new kind of face plate peg!
I've kinda regulated all old figmas to short tiktok highlights, because most of them were preowned or have paint transfer from over the years so they're not in perfect condition 😅
