That picture, even if it's from an iPhone, reallllllly doesn't do the figure justice. Not sure if this is the best way to produce hype for it.

The figure's overall silhouette is really what sells it as a female. That pic doesn't show the hips and legs which are really important to that effect.

In other words it's the pic not the toy failing here


-ZacWilliam, waiting for the better pics coming later...
Ever wonder about the speed of Turbofoxes?
Or the proverbial ailerons of Titanium Moosebots?

Quick shot of full body coming up...

Edit: Will wait for FB pics. Can't get right lighting here. The dark is really hard to distinguish.

*not shocked a female toy based on a male figure looks a bit odd* but I guess this is the most logical choice given the options.

So putting aside my huge hate for slipstream as a character (or rather her lack of character) the toy looks ok.



... now to just wait for someone to make a bust and hips "enhancment" 3rd party item to just prove that people can and will do anything.... and then see it sell in massive numbers

This.

The figure has zero female shape to it. Any way you look at it, the mold is just a feminine male... nothing more.

Wake me up when Slipstream gets her own mold.
