My very first PHICEN all those years ago . . .

See subject.

NINA 1.0



I know I had one open and displayed, but I cannot find her.  Multiples of her are in storage.

Her aesthetics and design are antiquated by today's standards.

One is listed on eBay for $459.99 USD plus free shipping (NOT BY/FROM ME).

Is this a plastic skeleton one? Look nice.

Yes.

That looks like Posh Spice in the promo! Not so much in real life though it seems. Still, I wouldn't mind getting my hands on that head sculpt, though I suspect the face needs a touch up. I just saw a nice one online! I don't understand the price tag though, considering the limited usability of the body. My first Phicen was PLMB2013-17, which stayed in the box cause I was too afraid to break her.

But she's so pretty


And I'm ontopic, because she was my first Phicen (although this one technically the second, because I did break the first one, and the second one is now worn out from all her travelling).

Hehe, yes she is, which is why I was very happy to give her to someone who will appreciate her, hopefully outside the box.

Painkiller Jane was next, and she is still my favorite. She hasn't aged one bit.

I liked the plastic skeleton Phicen figures ok (we didn't know any better), until one of them broke a biceps under the skin. After some unsuccessful surgery, I gave up on it, and on these altogether, until the stainless steel skeletons started to come out. Which is not to say they didn't have some great head sculpts (even if a little bit more stylized than today)... I can't speak for their boxed sets, since I didn't even notice those at the time.

Great looking figure and possibly one of my all time favourite Tekken fighters!

I also have one of those NINA 1.0 figures and she still looks great but now days she just stands around looking sad because I'm not about to pose her, but she was not my first Phicen figure, I believe that honor goes to Fire Red Rose or not?
