I received the Purgatori 1/12 figure last week from BBTS. I had been worried since I hadn't seen any reviews or pictures except for karotte's above comments and parted out pictures on Monkey Depot. Except for a couple of caveats, I'm fairly happy with her.
From the neck down she's almost perfect. The recreated the outfit quite well. It appears to be heat-shrunk plastic, so taking the outfit off for kit-bashing purposes will not be easily reversible. The choice of cloth arm sleeves, especially since the boots are faux-vinyl is odd, but she comes with a second set of bracelets so the arm sleeves will be going back in the case after I post this . She does have a pretty face, but as karotte stated, TB used a darker red for the head so it looks smaller than it actually is.
The biggest problem, at least for me, is this:
TB really botched the wing assembly. You're supposed to pop the wing onto the posts on the back of her top. The right wing went on without issue, but the left wing is being a severe pain. It won't go on in a way that lines up with the right wing, it wants to go on at a different angle. Also, they designed the pegs so once you pop the wings on, you can't turn them. Add to that trying to put the wing on over a soft body, and frustration will be your creed. Why they didn't put ball joints on the wing limbs and ball-joint cups in the top or vice-versa is beyond understanding. Really bad design choice.
One added point: the elbow joints on my mini-Purg were extremely tight. I was able to work the loose by slowly moving them up and down. Thought I'd give a heads up if this issue isn't specific to my doll but to the entire figure run.
Tried to get the best pics I could with my phone, but the red plastic head really messed with the focus.
