Glad you like her -- agree about the stupidity of the hair and about the coolness of the robot body.

Just curious about your opinion on the shoulder articulation, it makes me think of the bandai SHFiguarts double shoulder joints which I hate on figuarts since they are always loose and tricky to place correctly to have a nice result... How are these? Just freely rotating rings?
The small shoulder pieces feel like they are pegged in and solid. They are not free rotating pieces of circular sleeves covering joints. However the hip area where they try to cover the ball jointed legs are free floating sleeves from my examination of the figure.blackpool wrote:quite hard to explain, usually the shoulder articulation is a simple ball joint and swivel on most female figures, but this one seems to have a kinda "butterfly" shoulder joint as they call it for SHFiguarts figures.
It allows more movement and more realistic poses, but on figuarts the little "ring" part that is masking the articulation itself is often loose, turning around free, and not sitting correctly on the articulation, which makes the posing quite tricky... Just wanted to know how is this one, but as you mention it's not loose, the engineering is surely better!

I hate the bare feet ratchets though. I can't have her stand straight as her feet are angled too forward or back. I can't get a proper A stance due to how the feet are designed. Ratcheted knees too so can only do so much. And tilting the ankles are scary feeling as I feel I might break the connector due to its tightness.
More like certain poses for me. She seems pretty top heavy and with the ratcheted knees and ankles limits what really can be done in terms of posing. You can't fine tune them better for balance.Stryker2011 wrote:All of my joints felt quite tight when I first started working with her, but once you get them movable, they aren’t too bad to work with, and they hold poses well.

I discovered today, via Justin's Collectibles live chat (on YouTube) that there is a Alita Rollerblade figure coming out. They failed to mention the company behind it. They did not show any images?

I really hope we get the sequel to this movie some day. Bummed it didn't seem to do well at the Box Office.
