I've thought that from the very first prototype pics of the figures, Light had the worst face. Some of the others look amazingly accurate, but Light's face is just off---I think a lot of it is the coloring. The figure has very obvious lipstick and PINK! hair. Light has pale "pinkish" hair, and does not have "bright coral" lipstick plastered on. (actually, the final version seems a bit better--the hair isn't quite so intensely pink--but still not subtle enough) A shame that they seem to have done the worst job, on the (arguably) most important and most-desired figure. PS--look at the shoulders. So often wrong on female figures, since the days of GI Joe. She's got guy shoulders, I think that's part of the "vibe" problem.
Lightning's face is a little off, but let's face it- in the game, she never really had the most feminine figure. Her legs didn't have a very good curve to them and her arms are pretty muscular. Personally, I thought Vanille was worse. She really didn't have curves, just simple, straight arms and legs with half melon breasts that don't quite hang right. Yes, I've studied them, and just saying, FF13's women aren't the most feminine and the toy really isn't that far off.
I didn't say anything specifically against her... I actually went to my local TRU today and found the toys there. I already had Snow, but this is the first time I saw Lightning in person, and she actually looks pretty faithfull to the game. The pic shown earlier messes up her face where the shadows make it look like she has a broader chin, but not so in person. I ended up picking her up so I have someone to punch Snow with.
I know, I was just saying. I seem to think she's hotter than Lightning. As for my pic, yeah, that room has weird lighting. I was kinda only going after the size comparison at that point.
Uh, guys, why so much discussion on one small picture of Lightning when I have several large pics from different angles of all the characters on Page 1 of this thread?
Bah, was just sorting out my orders on Hobby Search, when I see that they've re-listed Odin from a July release to a September one .
Hey all, I've wanted to do a review of these figures for a while and I finally had time to do it. These are some impressive figures. (Also my first video review on anything.)
Gonna get Odin too? If I actually had that much money to "waste", he'd be the one I'd get. Of course then I'd have to get Lightning too...and I ended up not really liking the game that much.
