iMINIme - Kill Bill - Beatrix Kiddo




Announced : 2013 October
Released : 2014 April


Received this while I was away but saw collectors showing their dissatisfaction on The Deadly Vipers duo. When I opened them, I was shocked to see such mediocre quality on both of them. 
Pros: the head sculpt is fantastic and paint job is even better than Space Monkey T. Clothing as expected since this isn't much challenge for the manufacturer, I really like the blood effect on both headsculpt and her suit. 
Cons....plenty: head sculpt of Angry Bride consists of 2 pieces, the rear piece of hair came detached (had to super glued it). As head is made of resin hence her hair kinda sandwich between her shoulders which hinders her head poseability. Now, the connection of her neck to body is really done badly, quite loose. The body used is a joke, very light and feel very cheap. Sword and scabbard again made of cheap plastic (i even suspect scabbard is made of hard paper). Comes with painted PVC grabbing palms that are easily scratch. Shoes made of cheap plastic too. The biggest issue is since head is made of resin, the central weigh shifted upwards which means the figure will fall off easily even with stand due to the cheap plastic shoes have no friction on shoe base. Overall, I feel like I bought the head sculpt and kit bashed her myself terribly. Personally I find this figure quality dropped drastically compare to Space Monkey T.
