Good solid review Diana, thanks. I bought the Winter Festival version - which doesn't have the pale blue coloured parts & more gold & black (plus the back of the cape is all red & gold). I do recommend this figure for anyone wanting to "try" a TBLeague 1/12th female figure. TIP - as an action figure collector I suggest that if parts are tight then put them in hot water. I did this for my shin guards and helmet - it softens them slightly and makes them VERY easy to fit onto the figure, then they will keep their shape when they cool. I recommend this technique for your helmet , enabling it to "mould" more to her head shape & avoid the paint rub you are encountering.
Interesting that they didn't make they cape have bendy wire. It would've helped slightly with shaping it on the top but I guess they wanted to be more flowing. Also I can see the helmet being an issue with having bad paint rub with repeated on and off removal on the head. Definitely a great figure I have the pale skin 1/12 body and like it. I might have to grab this figure and the other Spartan warrior to go with my Mezco Classic Wonder woman and do some toy photography shots.
David Marrero sounds good! Apparently the paint rub can be avoided if you heat up the helmet/head first. With a blow dryer I guess. :) Have fun with the photos!
@@DianaT17 that's true heating plastic does help but at the same time can warp the helmet. If they would've made the helmet outta a softer plastic it would've been better but Oh well, still great none the less and definitely can see these Spartan warriors used in multiple scenes and with characters of Greek origin. Also hope that TBLeague makes a Doctor Manhattan figure since I don't wanna do the pastel thing or dip it in dye to try to make the phicen 1/12 male body blue.
Good review. I just reviewed the Wonder Festival version. I had a question - did you manage to find a reliable way to get that skirt to lay a bit flatter?
Thank you! And... no I have not. I haven't really tried (much) though. I'm not too bothered by it. And as I understand judging from the product images, the skirt of your version can be separated from the belt, no? So maybe soaking it in water and letting it dry in position will help?
Nobu Wraith Bra and skirt are loose, but I don’t see a way to open them and I don’t know whether you could move them down past her hips. Don’t care to try. ;)
Great review deafly wouldn’t mind picking this up. Are you single by any chance ? it’s my dream to meet a woman in the same interest that I have wow great review keep up the good work👍

Thank you very much for the tip! I will definitely do that! :)
The issue with the hair is a bit disappointing but overall she looks great. Awesome video. Helped a lot with my decision. Thanks!
Thank you very much! I’m happy I could help. 😊
Excellent figure ✨✨🙌🏽 Thanks Diana🌹🤓🤓🤓👊🏾

David Marrero I have a feeling you’ll be waiting a long time for that one... ^^
Why not try the Rit dye experiment? :)
Ok Diana, I am subscribed ✨✨✨🤟🏾🌹
Hah! Cool, thank you!! 😄👍
I agree Diana, packaging is marketing!
It depends on how they want to market it, and it might not be sold in physical stores.

Is all the armor removable or just the shoulders?
