These are still available on ebay. I wonder if they are legit?
Either way, i went and picked one up. If and when the figure arrives, i will post in Your Latest Purchase ..and make comment.

On a sidenote - the search feature on the forum is questionable.
Enter either MS-005 or (MS-005) into the search box, it results with No topics or posts met your search criteria

Enter MS-005 onesixthfigures into Google and it finds this thread straight away.

The tags at the end of the original post are how the forum finds things (it’s clumsy and weird, but that’s how forumotion set it up).

I got mine last year from Mandarake, so that’s another place to check.

I searched eBay for the head and couldn’t find it…

Sold out on that link.

There are atleast 4 of these on ebay at the moment, probably the re_issue (who knows?).
All sellers are using the same (official) images bar one seller, who has include an actual photo of the figure (see: below)
While the figure looks fine, i cannot work out why the center parting is off center?
Is it a one off? are they all like it? is it a re_issue issue? ..or could be an original (as it listed as used).

Here is the image:


The front hair sections appear to look shorter compared the image in the OP on page 1.

I found another image from another ebay seller. Their figure also does not feature a center parting?
The front hair sections look way shorter compared to the original promo images.

It would be good to see some images of the original released figure.

I think it has always been like this, with the parting off to one side. It's one of my favorite female head sculpts, so I remember. See HERE and HERE.

I guess they did not stick 100% to the proto type.

I managed to pick up one of those reissues. Just don’t know what I’m going to do with it.

Pose and display i guess ;D

Is the re_issue the same as the original?

Glad you found it. You'll figure out something soon enough.

Actually the outfit is the only thing I like about this. The head looks way too European for my tastes. Looking at prices for the outfit parted out, it might make more sense buying the whole figure and selling the head on this one.

It appears to be. I mainly got it for the head, but not sure if I’m going to use it now for what I was planning originally. The outfit doesn’t really do anything for me if I’m being honest.

I agree; it's a nice-looking head sculpt.
