First look at the box. Standard size, without elaborated bases, hence a little lighter on the freight charges.





The contents of the box. I believed the figure is S21B.
Well, as you can see, the figure already has much of the clothes and accessories put on, so there is nothing much to do, really. The only challenge is the right shoulder armor. At first, i tried to put in on to the body thru both arms raised. Then, upon observing the pictures, i realised i only need to wear it thru the left arm. A bit of adjustment, and it is on.
Oh and before i put on the HS, i put the collar onto the neck first.








So here's the figure dressed up. I am able to stand the figure without needing any support. The HS has nicely braided hair, 3 of them. And i swear Phicen's HSs are made from the same mold...all of them could be sisters! With the hair to the side, you can see the chest piece was fastened to the back with orange colored string. I don't even have to work that out...it's already on. So all Phicen figures' clothes can be removed.
And if you must know, I showed you what's beneath the skirt...





The helmet is a bit loose. I squeeze it a bit before putting on. Both spear and sword is plastic, although looked metallic. The spear, i must mention, is quite long...longer than any spear i have or have seen. A simple base. I still wish a support is provided, so i could deliver more poses.

Thanks for sharing. Good out-of-box review.

Man you get these things fast!

Thank you for posting your notes and all the beautiful and informative photos. Looks like a pretty nice set.

Can't wait for mine to arrive (along with the Fighter Woman)! This figure looks even more amazing on your photos. Thanks for sharing and making me happier on getting it!

Thanks for the info and pics! This figure looks good. It looks like what it is meant to be unlike the Athene figure and the Majestic Crusader.

Thanks for the share. Mine smells like lemon pledge lol
Not sure if it would have been accurate to the source material but a sheath for her sword would have been a good addition.

Thank you for the review, she looks Great! I'm planning to get this one someday, she will fit nicely into my collection.

Tariah finally arrived here, and I had a chance to get her in the studio for some hero shots... She is a worthy addition to Skarah, and I've included some shots of them together to appreciate their similarities and differences... The detailing on Tariah's armor pretty much sets the standard - it's absolutely fantastic and flawlessly executed... Tariah's helmet fit is greatly improved as well. addressing the only real weakness of the Shkarah accessories... I'm thrilled to have both of them

Beautiful. She looks great. They could be Valkyrie sisters.

Excellent photos and comparison.

Thank you! I really love both of these, and I'm still just astonished at how beautifully detailed and executed the armor is...

She (and they) look great. And as usual your photos put the promotional images to shame.

Both look great but I like Tariah more, the white fur just looks better to me.
If i had her i'd pose her grasping Thor's hammer because she looks truly "worthy"!

Yeah I absolutely love the white fur on Tariah - it really complements her armor well... And I'm sure Thor would have no problem with her um, trying out his hammer :p

Brilliant photos... i really should take up photography skills!

Is Thor joining them?

Beautiful shots as always!

You make me wanna... set my iphone, which I bought for its lovely photo taking capabilities, aside and dig out my "real" camera... Got a few candidates... Oooh! Yes! Fun!!

And these ladies are gorgeous. I was really tempted by Tariah... I'm actually just not so keen on the very soft expression.

Thank you so much! Modern smartphone cameras are actually really good, but these shots were definitely made with my 'real camera'

And yes, Tariah's expression is definitely softer, almost sorrowful... it's probably not what you're looking for in a Valkyrie portrait, but I think it does give her some emotional resonance when she's posed with Skarah, and I kind of like that...

Oh absolutely. The expression is perfect for this kind of sister love setting. ^^
