Diana wrote:I'm very tempted to get a second one. This is one of the nicest modern sets I've seen in a long time and I like both of them and they are very affordable compared to other releases and the body... will see, but it looks fantastic! (which hopefully means we will see it again in other sets or even standalone).

So... I'm feeling greedy and I'm not sure I can or want to resist.

Do it !! Do it !! DoOOoOooooOoooooo iiiiitt!! lol

Love them both. Instant pre order on the brunette. Goodbye money!

My one fear, is that the heads might change before release. There seems to be some pushback from collectors on BBICN. Hopefully it won't cause them to alter the figures.

Wow, I'm late to the party but like these a lot too.  Great outfits with lots of possibilities from strictly civi to girls with guns.  The head sculpts are nice, but I wish they had gone with rooted hair and styled it like the sculpted hair.  

I'm going to PO the brunette as well, and maybe look for another head to change out (last time I ended up being happy with the OEM sculpted hair).  

Well, GianToy it's been a few weeks now

I'm wondering how the eyes will be accessed, and if that will easily allow the swapping of the molded hair for something more lifelike?

I'm looking to add some cyberpunk flourishes to mine when she arrives.

Very good point. The majority didn't like the eyes at all and criticised that they were created for a western aesthetic. I hope they won't listen to them this time...  

Then again, if they end up widening the eyes a little it might actually still look as good with the added bonus of it being more noticeable where they are looking. Will see.

True. Although I don't see why the eyes as they are appeals to a western aesthetic.

If they change the head sculpts to appease the (censored) on BBICN I’m going to be pissed.

Just want the head which I hope to snag parted out, so they better not mess with them before release. Want to repaint the hair black.

In China, the problem comes from the eyes, too narrow for some, but it remains a "designer" toy anyway, there is also a lot of comparison with the latest faces of the female characters from Underverse (Ashley Wood)... though I buy the 1/6 figure, it's not to have a model that conforms to reality, for example I really like the characters with exaggerated features from Damtoys Gangsters... Mr-Z does not respond to these criticisms quite limited, and I'm sure that these models will not be modified, and that's a good thing.

That's comforting, thank you. ^^

I hope you are correct, 3Afr. I really like the head, and aside from the rest of the figure, it was the biggest selling point for me.

You're right, Diana. I think minor changes wouldn't be the end of the world. Hopefully they leave it as it is though. I love them the way they are. And that is saying something coning from me. I usually hate molded hair!

Hopefully you're right, 3Afr.

I didn't understand how these were western pandering either, Gubanator, but then, here we all are defending their aesthetic, so maybe the folks at BBICN have a point!

Good point. In my case, I like the head alright, but I am not wedded to it, actually. My primary motivation is the body.

They are so beautiful!
Actually, for me, the most beautiful female faces in this kind of figure since I started collecting.
I only wish they had rooted hair.

These look amazing. I'm definitely going to order the blonde.

Like everyone here, I hope they stick with the original designs in the promo photos. I have both figures pre-ordered and cannot wait for their arrival!

For some reason, the chair used in the photos caught my eye. I was able to find a similar one on AliExpress.

Also, does anyone happen to know where I can find 1/6 scale ballet bars or barre like the one in the photos? If not, I will try to make custom ones.

Cool chair. No idea on the ballet bar.

Mr-Z is on vacation, and he takes advantage of his visits to take some photos of one of his figures... when asked about sending the figures very soon, he answers "yes" without further details. ...so maybe for September.  

Not bad, but I’m just a bit disappointed that they did actually widen the eyes a tiny bit, but it’s noticeable.




I like your pics, 3Afr

Yes they did!

I wonder how her head would fit in the phicen teen bodies.

So the final product will have the widen eyes? No....I really like the original eyes. Can anyone confirm about this?
If the eyes were changed...I do not think I will pre order it...

The pics that 3Afr posted were his in-hand shots, so yes, they widened the eyes a bit. I’ll wait to see how I feel about it once I get it myself to see if I’m as disappointed as I feel right now.

That is bummer... I liked the prototype face...

The face definitely looks more western on the final piece.

Ooph, I don't like the change at all. It looks alien-like. Those eyes are just not meant to be that big. -.-
That overall looks cool though!

Agreed. I was going to order it, but I saw the change, I decided not to.
I really like the overall look.

little informations, these are photos of Mr-z himself, the different outfit will be an outfit offered later, no additional information on the eyes of the face, and the shipments should start this month....

I don't get the Chinese obsession with big eyes. Man I am ticked off that they ruined it! No longer getting this.
