(no subject)
That sound you hear is my SW fangirl's joy and rage engaged in a battle for supremacy. The rage is winning, as a good Sith should. The joy is having problems because that technically makes her the Jedi, but George has heavily implied that the Jedi don't like the good extremes of emotion any more than they do the bad ones.
It would figure, though, that when they finally do an Aayla figure, she's an $125 Comic Con exclusive, and fugly to boot. And, yet -- Aayla! And she's by Sideshow! And look at her awesome costume! And did I mention she's Aayla? But then...the face mold looks really ugly. And would it have killed Sideshow to sacrifice one of their 8652937 points of articulation and give her a solid, molded, fashion-doll-style waist that she might actually look decent in her so-cool costume? And seriously, $125? Are you high? DID I MENTION SHE'S FUGLY LIKE PALPATINE'S BUTTHAIRS?
You can maybe see why Fangirl Rage is winning. Fangirl Joy won't give up, tho, she keeps whimpering and pawing the screen. Which...really just makes it easier for Rage to smack her around. I'm starting to think Joy likes that. I'd start to worry about my sanity, but I think its probably way too late for that. Much better to try and dig up some better shots of that face mold. Maybe it'll be better closer up.
.....yeah, I'm not gonna hold my breath on that one.
edit: She actually does look better in the images from mcwtoys.com's review, though I'm sorry Captain Toy, she is still not pretty, no matter how desperately you claim she is. (Amy Allen is pretty. My Asajj doll is...well, evil-looking, but pretty. This? Not so much.) And in this shot in particular, her waist looks totally different and better suited to her outfit...but it still doesn't look that great, and removing her robe (which I for one would, because Aayla? Not so much for wearing her robe) just reveals her to be uber-skinny and kind of badly proportioned. And what the hell is with that mid-forearm seam/joint? Not only is it unattractive and distractingly obvious, but it appears as though having her wield her lightsaber causes the entire hand to hang oddly off that joint. What good is a Jedi doll that's ruined by holding its lightsaber? Ugh. What the flying fuck, Sideshow?
