Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Lovely) 『She's very beautiful, I've had her on my bookshelf for a couple weeks now and I love her. The only annoyance is when you try to change her hands, sometimes the arm(s) come off instead of just the hand and it get's annoying having to put the arm back together again.』
(looks nice, but could have been built better.) 『It looks really nice. I have it displayed on my shelf right now, and I think it looks really cool. It comes with multiple hands that you can switch out. It's a pain in the butt if you do decide to switch them. The extra hands don't fit well. I can't get them all the way on, so I'm careful to not knock them off. I was worried that I might break the thing by trying to use all my strength to fit the things together. Besides that it's a good figure.』
(Treat her gently...) 『Pocco is a gorgeous figurine, well sculpted, well articulated, very pleasant to look at... but be careful with it. I wanted to replace the hands with the open hands (included), so she could hold her sword. Getting the hands off and the new ones on took a LOT more force than I'd have expected. Enough that I inadvertently broke one of her wings. Bad thing. The solution would have been to take off her arm completely at the shoulder joint, so I could apply pressure as needed, without risking the rest of the figure, but I didn't think of that at the time.
So... it's my own fault for being reckless, but be aware that changing hands on Pocco is a serious battle, and has to be done with care. That said, I like the figure enough that I'm seriously considering buying a replacement, and using my broken one for spare parts.』
(Lorissa's Review) 『I like the attention to detail this action figure shows. While looking her over for any imperfections in the painting, I found none. I loved the pose ability of her arms, legs, hands, torso, etc. What I did not like/do not like is the fragility of her arms. They fall off at the slightest touch. But it is true that this toy is not meant to be played with constantly. She is meant to be showcased&shown off. I would suggest to anyone looking to buy this figurine not to get it for a child or anyone that wound not be content with just displaying her. Overall, I really love this model&I am happy with my decision to buy her.』
(High rating for good reason) 『This action figure is very durable, the arms and legs come off and hands are changeable. You can position the figure in all types of realistic ways, and if you are an artist like myself, its definitely something that you can utilize when it comes to observation of the human form. The wings are removable overall the figure is just very nifty.
That form and utilizing it for drawing is the only reason why I gave this toy an educational value of 5 stars, because other than that (if you aren't a toy maker, there isn't really much you are going to learn. If is something else, chances are you need to keep that info to yourself.
It was factory sealed, and I did notice that mine had a couple marks here and there, but nothing to have a have cow over.』 『FRAULEIN REVOLTECH is the name given to a new dimension of Revoltech completely devoted to female character created and sculpted by the brilliant Enoki Tomohide, using an innovative and newly developed joint/body system known as "E.L.F."

(a solid collectors piece) 『at the moment this is the first of 3 dc direct figures that i now own. the packaging is quite nice and would look good MIB, but i love to display my figures the way i want which as a collector is where the value lay. the figure has a little less articulation then i had hoped but is still good enough paired with the adjustable stand to pull off some nice poses. the likeness is great and apart from custom jobs is the best (Heath)looking joker on the mass market. the paint could have been applied better and brought more of the sculpts details out but from the box the head is quite nice all the same. the accessories are good if not movie accurate but the bank robber mask barley fits over his head without a lengthy struggle and it only sits right on the face if you push hard inward. other than that and a few strands hanging from the suit. its a great value and display piece. a must buy!』
(Great likeness) 『For the price, this Joker is by far the best on the market and has a better likeness of the "movie Joker" than anything else I've seen under $[...]. The HotToys "bank robber" version probably has the best likeness of all the figures, but at $[...] some may have trouble justifying the purchase.
After years of collecting, I've finally found something that I can proudly display out of the package (*gasp*). The clothing on this is great and as close to the movie as it can get. Nitpickers will say that there are no socks, the stitching is off, the vest and shirt don't match perfectly, etc. Those people need to get a life and realize nothing in this world is perfect, especially nothing molded out of plastic, mass produced and assembled in a sweatshop, and sold for 90% more than it cost to make.
I will now take the time to nitpick, as I have no life. The makeup/face could have been done much better. it's too perfect, too clean. There was never a point in the movie when the makeup was this perfect. From the point when "grumpy" removed his mask, we were able to see some flesh tones under the thinly applied makeup. That being said, whoever looks at the pictures of this figure before buying can clearly see how perfect the makeup looks. I knew long before receiving this in the mail that the face was not movie accurate, and was perfectly fine with it. I am very impressed with how much the facial structure resembles how Ledger looked in the movie. Overall this is a great figure and would be an excellent addition to anybody's collection. 』
(Joker's no joke!) 『Nice job by DC direct. Highly detailed figure with striking likeness of the late Heath Ledger. Collector's dream!』
(DC Direct Dark Knight Heath Ledger 1:6 scale Joker) 『Striking likeness of Heath Ledger as the movie Joker character. Some flaws from the manufacturer had to be corrected, like some overstitching on the shoulder of the overcoat and the jacket, but otherwise well done. The figure can strike some very powerful poses, but sadly the hands leave much to be desired, with only being able to swivel at the wrists. Adding a pair of socks makes this figure look so much better. In many ways, I rate this figure better than the Hot Toyz version, and even the shortcomings can be fixed or updated and still be well below the HT price. I gave this one Figure of the Year for a Movie figure. My Complete review full of pictures at this link ...

I hope that is permitted, as it is a very in depth photo review of the item, working from the undressed figure up to complete, to show the great articualtion and what it can do, and I think many will find it helpful.
For the money, not bad, just wish the hands were so much better done.』 『Christian Bale once again embodies the man behind the mask in "The Dark Knight." The film reunites Bale with director Christopher Nolan and takes Batman across the world in his quest to fight a growing criminal threat.With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart),Batman has been making headway against local crime...until a rising criminal mastermind known as The Joker (Heath Ledger) unleashes a fresh reign of chaos across Gotham City. To stop this devious new menace - Batman's most personal and vicious enemy yet - he will have to use every high-tech weapon in his arsenal and confront everything he believes.
This limited-edition Deluxe Joker figure stands 13" tall and features 28 points of articulation.

(A must-buy for any MGS fan.) 『This Old Snake figure is exactly what an MGS4 fan is looking for. Snake is in his famous crouching pose from MGS4 -Ciggarette in mouth- and it looks great. Medicom has done a wonderful job in recreating old snake.
I have read reviews of Medicom toys before, so I was skeptical with this snake figure. However, this is a statue really, with no poseability. Snake is completely Static. The detail is very high, with extremely small print on his octocamo suit that you can actually read. This toy is easily of McFarlane detail quality.
When I was at the store looking over the paint job, I found every one in stock to be of great quality. There were no noticeable errors on any of the 4 I saw. The only issue with this figure is that when you place him on a flat surface, his right toe points up, as if Medicom didn't get his crouch sculpt aligned properly. This is a minor gripe, but really should have been corrected as Old Snake deserves perfection. This only presents itself if you plan to open and display snake, otherwise in the package he looks perfect.
As with all MGS figures, this will be on ebay soon for 4 times the price, so act fast before they are gone.』 『
Has it been 20 years already? Hideo Kojima's classic characters brought to life! Must have for anyMetal Gearfan!
It has been twenty years since the release of the original Metal Gear game for the Nintendo Entertainment System, and to commemorate the anniversary you should pickup this Crouching Snake action figure fromMetal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. This articulated Crouching Snake action figure stands about 6 1/4-inches tall, and comes with accessories.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (I love it) 『The original box for the figure was damaged, and it was not exactly the figure on the picture (she was on another base, as seen in pictures submitted by other customers). Also, the colour on the stomach is a bit uneven. BUT overall, it's a really cool figure and I love it!』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Just OK) 『The figure itself looks decent, but I'm having a hell of a time trying to pose it because the slightest wrong move makes her ARM fall off. The arms are extremely fragile, I ended up giving up and displaying her in the box before I caused any real damage to the figure.』
(A couple problems with the joints, otherwise a great figure) 『The only major problems I've had with this product is the arms. The right elbow joint constantly falls off, so I have to hold it in place while posing her. The left arm has come off completely a few times. Both problems are easy to fix, it's just irritating. Those two irritations aside, this is a great figure. She has a great range of motion, with many different pose options. As another review pointed out, the stand is very basic--nothing more than a base, a solid black stick, and a slightly bent piece that goes on top of the stick, with the semi-transparent piece to hold the figure at the waist. The paint job is wonderful, especially the subtle highlight to her hair.』
(A MUST GET IF YOU'RE A COLLECTOR OF THIS SERIES.) 『A great figurine. Love the anime as well. Revoltech Fraulein has great joint features to their figurines.』
(Excellent Figure) 『I have been into anime and manga for a long time now. I have wanted a very detailed and easily manipulated figured for less than 50 bucks for a while now.
This figure of Rei is just what I was looking for. It is to pose her for drawings. She is very detailed without being overly curvy and without being too stiff. I put her on my printer, and I enjoy looking at her while I work on my story.
If you like the series or just want an anime figure to draw inspiration from, get Rei.』
(Sophisticated design is excellent for first kind of this line) 『I'm personally quite impressed with the overall design of this figure.
Her range of flexibility is really quite impressive; the only thing I can't really get her to do is sit like she's on a chair. What particularly impresses me is the design of the knee and elbow joints. It's really quite clever. The thigh has a small dent in it, as does the calf; these dents fit into each other to maximize flexibility while preserving a fairly naturalistic silhouette. The elbows follow a similar design. This results in knees that bend fairly naturally, which is more than Figma can say with their downright creepy pointy knees.
The paint job's quite nice too, especially in the hair. They lightly airbrushed the higher parts of her hair, so it gives the impression of highlights without looking artificial or overdone. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to photograph very well... The rest of the paint is still good, though there are a couple of places (namely the thigh stripes) that have a very slightly ragged look. Still, it's a very slight problem, and you have to look quite closely to notice them.
There are still a couple flaws, though some of it I have to attribute to her being the first of Revoltech's Fraulein line. The most noticeable problem is that her arms pop off their shoulder joints fairly easily, a problem that I've heard doesn't exist on Revoltech's other figures. Luckily, it pops back on just as quickly, so as long as you don't loose the arm the figure is still fine.
The lance has a very nifty metallic red finish, which much like her hair I have to presume just doesn't photograph well. The lance is made of a different plastic than the hard PVC Rei herself is, though, so it feels a wee bit flimsy. I suppose they wanted to make sure it was light enough for her to hold over her head without her arms sagging, but I'm wondering if maybe they overcompensated...
The last thing, though, is the stand. The stand she comes with is NOT the stand they show in the photographs! The real stand is much simpler, and is, in my opinion, rather crappy. It looks like it's meant to hold her suspended, but the joins in the stand are far from strong enough to manage it. If you want her in an action pose, you have to make sure she has at least one extremity propped against the stand itself to keep it positioned. Also, there's a little plastic piece that wraps around Rei's waist and then attaches to the stand. This piece slides off quite easily, which, once again, makes the stand pretty much useless.
I really like the figure herself, despite the way the arms occasionally pop off and some very minor paint job issues. The main drawback is the stand, which, fortunately, you don't really need--If you're clever about it, you can quite easily get her to stand on her own!』 『Truly, anime-zing figure! Rei Ayanami is a withdrawn and sometimes cold woman, but she's destined to become one of the hottest figures available anywhere. From the hit series Neon Genesis Evangelion, this extremely desirable 6-inch tall collectible not only looks incredible, but has more articulation than ever before. Sculpted by the brilliant Enoki Tomohide using an innovative joint/body system known as 'E.L.F.,' the astonishing release demonstrates a wide variety of realistic poses unlike any other PVC action figure. With the Lance of Longinus, 2 sets of extra hands, and a display base, this remarkable Rei has everything she needs to pilot her Unit 00 to adventure or simply look fantastic on your desk. You know you want her. Take her now!』

When I saw this figure in DC Unlimited website, I have instantly decided to buy it, and like many do, I thought her skin is of little translucent violet and silvery white hair, these are the main features that differ from the actual product you will find yourself either disappointing or love it like I did...
Her hair comes in a sapphire blue finished, and her skin is violet, if you take a closer look, you will find that her eyes are eye-lined with sky blue which is making Alathena Moonbreeze looks alive!
One thing that you will find least appealing is her elven ears, her ears are too plain without any details in it which I think is the worst part that ruin the overall score. Everyone expected a night elf to have a pair of highly detailed, long and sharp pointed ears(like Night Elf Druid, Broll Bearmantle)... However, the plain ears of hers will leave you disappointed if you're looking for a decent night elf figure... I have uploaded a photo of her taken from a little front angel, hope you get to see the details in a closer look...』
(What you see is what you dont get.) 『The previous reviewer was correct in that what you see in the picture and what you get is drastically different. I still like what i got, but what you see in the picture is much better, the pose is more dynamic. This particular figure was due out in Nov '09 but was delayed till Jan '10, which might give some insight on there being 2 different figures. I will post a picture of what you really get.』
(Beautiful Night Elf) 『I received my Alathena Moonbreeze figure today and couldn't be more pleased (unless maybe she were a druid instead of a hunter)! I'm not sure why anyone would be expecting a night elf with "pale cream skin", but I got exactly what I wanted. Although the base is very small, she is positioned in a way to be very stable. Also, there are minimal parts to assemble, preventing the annoying breaking-while-putting-together phenomenon I've experienced with other figures (e.g. McFarlane). This is my fourth purchase in this line, and I hope to purchase more!』
(Not what the picture looks like..blue hair?) 『The action figure above is quite beautiful so I decided to buy it. I received my Alathena Moonbreeze action figure in the mail expecting it to look like the picture above with white hair and pale cream skin among other differences. The action figure I received must have been changed by the manufacturer because it has dark blue hair and a nasty shade of purple skin. Not only that but her body and face aren't leaning as much as the original image above and because of that it's not near as dramatic or appealing. The armor, owl and bow look the same but everything else is different.』 『 * Brand new』

(Very, very cool) 『For MGS3 fans, this is a must-have, not just because this is the only figure featuring Snake in his normal Tiger Camo, but because of the level of detail it possesses. If you're wondering, the figure is not poseable and is a little unsteady standing on its own. Yet, I completely love it for how well it's sculpted and the design of the costume. Snake's outfit is fully based on actually military gear from the cold war era, right down to his lash unit throat mics and authentic pilot's dagger. If you loved Snake Eater, this is a very, very cool piece. Enjoy!!』 『

(Loved this one for my collection) 『A seemingly minor but important character of great appeal. The workmanship on this one is excellent and the details are far better than some I have seen. The 1/7 size is rather unique for me but I love it. I like the Yamoto series and this one is one of the best.
