Finally got my Violet! |

I finally got all the stuff for my Violet. The outfit and sword(which is awesome!) are from Triad of course, the gloves are from a set of gloves for the
Princess Jun figure, don't know who the glasses came from. I think the Lexus hs works pretty good for this application. If the figures weren't so hard
to get, I'd like to get a few more. It would be even nicer if OJI would start selling these heads separately.

I wish OJI would sell them loose as well. Personally i think it's one of the best looking heads out there (especially after seeing the pics people have
posted of the Takara Deunan...the prototype looked WAY better IMO )
She looks awesome man! The likeness isn't 100% exact, but with the shades, i doubt many people would notice. (I for one wouldn't care!

RichardtheBloody- Thanks, I like the way she turned out. Dyna- The hs is from OJI's "Lexus" figure. So far, the only place to find them seems to be ebay. I haven't seen one parted out yet but, I
don't think that they have sold very many of them. I lost track of them but, I believe they've sold less than 40 of them and their other new figure
"Porsche".

Toby site.
Is one of his show piece for 4/4 Taiwan Toy & figure exhibition 2008. I hope this one will make it like his Cyborg Jolie!

She's very beautiful James!!
When you come to think about it, it's really a shame Triad didn't use real hair. On both sets of pics, it really makes the difference with their kit! I know rooting hair on a hard resin head is damn near impossible, but it could have been achieved with a separate, the glued onto-vynil hairpiece... |

Always nice to more pics of your little plastic family James!However I second comments about making that head more widely available-deliberate creation of
rarity in toys irritates me-saw enough of that going on when the children used to collect beaniebabies.

DYNA- Thanks for the link, sadly it's in Chinese. The guy definitely has talent.

Violet rocks in that Triad outfit. Like Rich, I think that newer FemBasix sculpt is one of the all time best.
Whoever named in necking was a poor judge of anatomy.

Tad- Thanks, I like this hs and the Porche one as well. It would be great if OJI offered these separately on their website(hint,hint).
Tonzez- Thanks, I think this hs(even though not exact) still works pretty good.

James she looks great! as already stated the hair makes a world of difference and the higher boots look great. i was gonna try those but maybe w/ a lower heel
if possible. just hope Triad will re-release some Harely 3.0 outfits!
REALLY hope that Toby Violet gets made. that's the outfit i've wanted the most, from the opening fight scenes, and the boots look to be very accurate on the Toby . kneehigh w/ pads. only tiny nitpick is i think the gloves for that outfit should come to the elbow, and her teeth look just a tad buckish (i know they looked it in the movie in certain shots but think that was more camera angle and fake vamp teeth).. everything else is ACES! love the mechanism on the belt. so any backstory on Toby? i've seen that Cyborg Jolie listed on Yahoo Japan before (same pics) awhile back. it looks a lot like Ban Ban Kazoo's pieces and the Supergirl looks almost exactly like a Gamisan piece from like a year ago. BUT the pages that show Toby vacuforming armor are dated 2006 so not sure who came up w/ the techniques first.

I think the problem with the collar is because of the zipper and perhaps the thickness of the material. It could possibly be fixed by ironing the corners down.
The Triad top does the same thing.

hey anyone w/ Nat. does that inner tank top shirt unzip all the way until it comes undone? i'm yanking on mine but beginning to think the zipper just
stops at bottom. seems like it'll stretch out of shape if it's a pullover

Nope, the zipper has a stop...

It's a pullover. It may help if you remove the head prior to trying to put it on the figure. The top should stretch just enough to fit. My PB has the large
breast plate and the top fits over it.

God that movie smelled worse than a log cabin made of dog turds.
Neat figure though. |
