For this figure I was not able to find a review, so that's why I want to share my thoughts with you about this figure.

First of all,  I am a beginning 1/6 collector,  with a focus on military figures (Damtoys).
I also have some Hot toys figures and VTS figures (From the Division).

I like the RE movies, I know, not very good story but they are fun to watch.

I own the Hot Toys Alice from I think 2013 which I bought 3 months ago for  €245. When I found out that Verycool made an Alice as well, I had to get her. It was very hard to find in Europe and I paid € 230,00 for it (sealed) in an 1/6 online shop.

Let's talk about the points I like, and points that I think could be improved 

Quality 8/10
Overall the figure is good quality. I experienced 2 small issues
-the boot belts of both boots were "Broken" , the glue was not holding well so I had to re-glue them
-removing the hands was easy, placing the new other  supplied hands was a pain. The material of the hands was to stiff, so I had to stretch up the holes in them to be able to attach it to the wrist peg.
-the velcrostraps of the pistolholsters and pouches are not very sticky compared to damtoys

Details 8/10
Overall I was impressed. Metal machetes, worn looked boots with laces, well detailed clothing (the coat has an inner lining and functional pockets) and a very nice looking face sculp.

The hair is rough to get it right. And in my opinion the hands could be less plastic looking. But Overall a very nice figure.

Packaging. 9/10
Not too big, easy to store, nice design

Accessoires 8/10
Good clothing, also a scarf to cover her hair, fitting the look of the character in the movie. Goggles to protect here eyes, 2 machetes, shotgun, 2 pistols with one mag each, wrist bands for each wrist. Etc

There are 3 pairs of hand. 2 pairs of them are with gloves. None of the glove hands are perfect to hold the machetes.

But what am I missing?
- a stand
- 2 more spare mags for the pistols... the holsters both have a pouch attached to store a spare mag, why not provide them with the figure, they allready have the mold. Luckily I had some spare pistol mags from an old figure

Wow! She looks great! 
I like the boots, despite the troubles. The clothes and face overall, too. Just not so sure about her hair... ^^

Thank you for the review and welcome aboard! Very Happy

Thanks!

She looks great on the shelf! 

Indeed, the hair is not that good.. luckely she has a scarf to camouflage it. I am still fine-tuning it.

It is a desert figure, but the hair is more dry then the desert sand of the movie. Also very hard to model it .

For 1/6, detailed sculpted hair is often the better way to go I think.

Yes I saw those, but not like thebmovie characters.

Hopefully someone is releasing a good Claire Redfield en Carlos.

VTS has a carlos available (as Black storm guard) but I am still deciding if the figure is appealing enough for me to have.

Thank you very much for the review of this nice set. The figure has been out for a while, and is probably becoming scarce, hence the price. Poor glue has been an issue for several companies (notoriously, KausticPlastik). Aren't there several Chris Redfields out there, from awhile back? Whether they are particularly good I wouldn't know, actually.

By the way, to respond to more than one posting in the same post, click the "Multi-Quote" button under each one you would like to include, then click on "postreply" near the bottom right, and type in-between the quoted portions.

Good point, and I think the production numbers are also low comparing to Hot Toys.

There are several Chris and Claire Redfield,l figures. both from the games. Damtoys is making them for a big part, as they have the license for the Resifent Evil game figures. They are very expensive (militairy damtoys are about 250-300 USD, Resident Evil Damtoys are about 400 USD.

But nobody has made a movie Claire Redfield yet.

To my knowledge there has been a Claire Redfield from one of the CGI movies made by HotHeart called "Living Dead Ms.Red" several years ago. Copies of the head sculpt still can be found on eBay. Please see here...

Oh, stupid me. Embarassed Laughing I always forget that Ali Larter was supposed to be Claire Redfield in Paul Anderson's movies. You are completely right that we never got a figure with her likeness.

No problem! Thank you for thinking along (if I translate it correctly)

I think the market is too small to justify making the molds I think, but it will be a welcome HS variant for a 3rd party manufacturer.[/quote]

what a really realistic version of the film character in 1:6. I wouldn't want to mess with her.
