VANILLE AND LIGHTNING
Thanks to a good canadian friend, Scott (AKA Peter Peeker), I was able to get this pink haired figure: Play Arts Kai Lightning.
The figure in this new line are supposed to be bigger and better looking.
Lightning and Vanille look like a spokesmodel showing off some designer's new collection. They're built like the girls you see Vanity and Cosmo magazines, with long limbs, a long body, a tiny waist, and little itty-bitty hands and feet.
It's rare that you see a toy of this scale with this much articulation with such a detailed sculpt. Even some 1/6 scale figures don't have the kind of detail Play Arts worked into this. These new figures have all kinds of little features that really get my geeky juices flowing. Pockets, pouches, belts and buckles, the sculpted hands (with a second pair of fists), the hair and the scarf, buttons and boot laces.
There are lots of functional (and annoyingly evident) points of articulation that help get these girls in almost any position; imagination sets the limits.
The scuplpting is really impressive, so as the paint apps, but these suffer from the same little imperfections of the other Play Arts figures.
Did I need these???
YES, hell YES. Muchas gracias Scott.
