I had to post her, and I already ordered. I think she looks fantastic! 1/12 collection is definitely growing...
The previous VERYCOOL "Campus Gun Girl" isn't bad either, though I hate the concept. Pretty head. I'm more for the tough ladies, though.

Oh I saw her in 1/6 once. Some parts were translated into simplified plastic versions it seems, probably good for the price, I hope.

But 'Campus Gun Girl' sounds disturbing somehow...

She is indeed quite cute! I saw her on FB the other day and I was wondering if someone would post her here. I do like her, but I am waiting for a figure that has a style of boots I can use for a kitbash. These ones just aren't quite what I'm looking for. The footwear works fine for the figure itself, but since I don't collect this kind of genre, I can't really justify getting random figures like this unless they have massive kitbash potential for my custom projects. 

That being said, I'm curious to see how she is in-hand when you get her, AerynDiana!

And lol, Ovy, I did give that title a bit of an askance look...for now I'll blame google translate.

I have the 1/6th version of this figure. She’s pretty cool, yes.

I might jump on that one, there is a lot of kitbash potential combined with starwars blackseries or marvel legends...

There is indeed kitbash potential for those... I just wish she had different footwear! Sigh...

It is a very neat set. And for me it works better in this size than 1/6.

Definitely worthy of an unboxing video with comparison to other figures!

Looking forward to it!

If they did a 1/12 version of Villa I'd maybe go for one.

Oooh, I hope they do, Roger!

Hey all!

I didn't care to record the unboxing, cause that would have been quite unspectacular - she came fully geared up. But I did create myself a new photo box and tried it out!

Cellphone pics only for now. Next time I'll definitely dig out the cam.

I really like her. Even the sculpted hair doesn't bother me that much, but I might replace the head anyway.
Good articulation! I did pull out her arm, her hand, her elbow I thought at one point, and I got really frustrated. TBL has spoiled me. But I managed to put it all back in and then got used to being a little more careful. All good. Looking forward to Villa now.

I agree, she looks great (and cute, too).

Looks pretty good; I like the poses you’ve made out of her. Thanks for sharing.

She looks great! Glad you got her!

I'm looking forward to Villa, too, though I only want the headsculpt for that...

Thank you very much!

I love the head sculpt, but I can actually use the rest, too, for reference. I want to get back into character illustrations, and this will definitely be useful for certain characters.

I can definitely see how the figures would be helpful for illustration purposes! Would love to see some of your results using these figures for reference. :')

I just noticed she's up for Pre-Order again on Giantoy, so I thought I'd bump.

This was my "breakthrough figure of 2021" (if I hosted some kind of figure of the year award ceremony, that is). Of course it was released earlier but that's when I've got it in hand (most recent batch from Giantoy I believe; sold out there but still not too hard to find). Heck, I've got two of these already but more on that later.


I was trying to find a better-articulated Mezco-scaled female body and decided to give it a try. VeryCool bodies are somewhat smaller though, so I'm still looking. But the base body is great, I prefer this articulation scheme to TBLeague (it has elbow swivel, even though ab crunch is worse).
And I like Catch Me due to its "fun factor" - something that is hard to quantify. With some accessories not included with the figure:


I've also noticed that it's quite busy with all that belts, bags, magazines. Matter of taste of course but this minimalist look really made it shine for me:


So took out everything from the main belt (this also allows to move the buckle to the center) and turned the second belt into a strap for the left holster, for extra gunslinger look.



But it's still work in progress. One thing I wish this figure had is more realistic head with rooted hair. The 1/6 version of Catch Me looks just better with white long hair. So one intermediate step is to try the Villa head:



I like the look but I have something else in mind. Waiting for yet another head to arrive and then I'll see whether it works.

Circling back to getting another Catch Me figure - I've bought her specifically for cinematic Black Widow custom (also work in progress):




To conclude, here is how Catch Me scales with Mezco:

Given that it is a female figure, I think it mostly works, at least height-wise. But proportions are slightly different. What do y'all think?

I agree, she looks great, especially with the more "minimalistic" choice of accessories.

Forgot to show size comparison of feline figures I have:

Left to right: Soap Studio Selina Kyle (from The Dark Knight Rises), Mezco Catwoman (with unmasked head, holding Batman's batarang), and the heroine of this thread.

Oh yay! Thank you for taking the time to share these beautiful photos! I love how you're using the blurred backgrounds. And I am very much looking forward to your final BW creation!

I don't like the Catch Me sculpt much, but there are a few beautiful FireGirl sculpts out there by now, not to mention the bald monk head, which I've posted about here before. I am still planning on swapping out the body to a TBLeague, which I much prefer. Can't remember whether the shoes/hands are compatible, but I'll find out.

Blurred backgrounds are inevitable with my setup (large sensor and telephoto lens up close). I'm struggling to get wider depth of field, if anything (stopping down would trigger sharpness decrease from diffraction, and I am too lazy for focus stacking).

VeryCool hands have smaller peg holes than TBLeague hands. And are less malleable. They don't easily fit TBLeague metallic pegs, unless you ream it a little.

The other way around, though, works rather well. I actually intend to replace my Catch Me hands with TBLeague ones because her packaged hands are quite badly sculpted, especially trigger hands (curiously, Villa's hands are better).

But that's the next step. For now I am happy to report that the head I was waiting for has been delivered, and it is as I have imagined, or better:


This is Super Duck SDMINI001. Head only, I did not order the whole Nier Automata 2B kit.
Technically the head didn't fit right away, even though it is designed for TBLeague neck joint, and VeryCool heads fit them too. Oh well, transitivity and symmetry are are not applicable in real space. The hole was too small, and material is rather stiff (there is no rubber socket in there), but I was able to make it work.


The headband and eye mask were also included -


- but I don't intend to use them because I envision her as an original character deserving her own name (Naming is a dark art, but I'll most likely settle on Kate).




I still want to customize her further. TBLeague hands (as mentioned above), different kneepads, also not sure whether I'll keep these gun holsters, or opt for two symmetric ones, or just one sidearm in addition to a sniper rifle.


I've also found a more detailed HK-416 than the one packaged with her. But it can be reserved for Villa's long lost twin sister, when if they reunite.

Looks great with that head!
