Hi all, was going to post in product news, but also had a kit bash of it so decided to make it a new thread. :p
Update: Burryna Revisited Kit bash v2
So, for this figure, it's a total disappointment in my view. Especially for the cost they are asking for. As stated, there were some things that were nice, other things I found ugly. It didn't help that my figure had a few QC issues that I am talking to the shop I got it from to hopefully resolve it.
So let's get down to the basics. Box is nice but very plain. It opens like a book with a magnetic flap on the side that keeps the box closed.

Opening the box reveals a small instruction sheet.

The set contains 3 foam trays inside. The first has the helmet, figure (all gear is worn), extra pair of open hands, connector piece to join the swords together, pair of batteries for the swords and a small pack of desiccant.

Second tray, we get a very nice cape.

Third tray is the light up figure base and stand, as well as the 2 swords.

Head sculpt is okay, I still haven't had a chance to see how it looks with smaller bodies. The hair tends to cover most of her elf ears though.

Figure itself is a S10D pale body with no anatomical features whatsoever (well, with the exception of the nipples). Didn't bother taking a body shot of it as there's really nothing to see.

Not too bad looking, BUT the armor... now there are places where it can and will damage the body out of the box. The shoulder pads are all clipped on with small button clasps. Already have indents on the shoulders because of it (it was hard to capture the small divots in the skin on pic). Also one shoulder was slightly discolored (not sure from where). All the armor is plastic with the small exception of the fishnet arm sleeves and leather straps glued to the back of the hip guards. Not a fan of the plastic underwear and you have to remove the threaded string if you want to remove the hip guards. Also the neck shoulder piece... well, look closely at it and there's a very noticeable gap on it and it does not look good. Furthermore, the point is SHARP and not dull. Careless move and that can puncture the skin very easily (it actually made a small indent already on the skin out of the box). They could have designed this better at least contour it to the body showing no gap. Also the ankles/feet are loose and this figure fell 3 times on its own.
Now the base is actually very nice and the lighting effects are good. BUT, for the cost, I expect to push that center button and select the lighting effect I want. It's just a basic on/off switch and nothing else. It will cycle through its effects which are mostly pulsing effects. I should add they didn't even bother adding a screw to the battery lid to secure the batteries. Much less give you 3x AAA batteries to power the base.

The swords... they are nice too, but I have an issue with one of them. It wasn't as bright as the other one and now flickers. Great. Just what I needed... more headaches.

Didn't bother with the crown as this is what I got.

Wow. Nice. More headaches...
QC is very poor with this figure (at least on mine). And at the cost they are asking, it's unacceptable. Yeah, pretty much disappointed with all this and definitely would not recommend getting it as a set. If you have a few things you like, just hope they get parted out at a reasonable cost. Don't bother with this full set as there's no value in it and if you get a lemon like mine, you'll just be annoyed and frustrated at the whole thing.
More shots: by desertdragon
But let's turn that frown upside down and kit bash and customize a few things in this set using a S22A body...
You'll notice the swords are the same glow in these shots. But reality is the faint lighted sword is now flickering. Which can only mean the connectors are most likely loose in it or broken now. Hopefully the seller will be able to get a hold of this manufacturer about the issue (as well as the helmet).
