    I've been in the "price has to be right" group on her since the beginning, but having a soft chest that will fall apart in a few years pushes that "right price" way down for me. Plus it makes it extra important to wait for reviews before buying.

    Sweet! Judging from the way the car exterior accordions together to become the backpack, it feels a little reminiscent to Azalea and is only 1 cm taller as well. I am loving that height. If that height includes the top of the backpack wings then we could be talking about a robot height (to the top of the head) that is right at Azalea! There is discussion about the backpack being removable and I welcome that idea. Looks like their fans are also not digging the soft breasts either.

    By discussion and fans, are you talking about their Weibo page? If so, that's good news. I doubt they see anything we're saying but if people on their Weibo don't like the squishy chest, there may be hope for this figure.

    It depends on what it's made of. Some flexible plastics are mostly fine, like when a figure uses a softer plastic for a belt, skirt, or shoulder armor so as not to hinder articulation. Though when I think "soft plastic", I think the sort of very rubbery plastic that can get gummy and/or dry out after as little as a few months. But let's hope they actually mean the former and not the latter.

    Yeah that's right. Their fans in the Weibo said pretty much the same thing about the soft chest breaking down over time and they want hard plastic. Looks like Firebird hasn't commented on this yet but they did respond to the removable backpack discussion. I'm more into the backpack being removable. How the heck is she able to stand with the backpack and stilettos, though? That's freaking amazing!

    It would be embarrassing to find that the soft plastic gets damaged due to excessive tampering...

    Locking this thread up.

    Too much drooling over this figure and no one will listen to our directions. One and done
