You know, in the vinyl world, with things like the Big Barda and Emma Frost and Supergirl statues (and the Mary Jane one, for nostalgia's sake), and the negative reactions they received from feminists, and the negative reactions those feminists received from those who Just Didn't Get It, I'd say the sculptors and fanbrats defending the ( Read more... )

Lolol. Alternate face doesn't suit her pose. XD Suits the part of the op where she has that YOU on her cheek, though.

Damn, that's one hot Revy figurine. Love her face. XD

Wow. Badass Revy is a lot better that kawaii Revy. Holy crap.

It IS surprising that this figure came from Japan, of all places- aside from, say, Major Kusanagi, you don't see women with this level of composure or confidence in anything. I almost feel castrated just looking at it. XD~

And even Motoko doesn't quite escape the doe eyed, passive swayed-hips demure look in some of her merchandise (which is sad, because I love her for liek whoa), though I've certainly yet to be horrified by anything officially produced of her in the figurine area, which is something.

I almost feel castrated just looking at it. XD~

But in a good way, yeah? XD

DUDE I KNOW!! XD I fell in love the moment I first saw her in some AMV (it wasn't even that great an AMV) but she was.. HOLY GOD, the destruction was beautiful but nothing compared to how CRAZY and fierce and so wholly living it up with all the gunfire- AUGH!

(Hee, equally vicious bespactacled destructo-maid FTW.)

Hi, here via WFA. And also a figure collector and a huge Revy fan. ;) That Revy has been on my wish list for the longest time. Isn't it amazing what a difference a face can make? That's Revy with her personality showing, not Revy as a passive sex object.

...Which, by the way, is exactly why her second face skeeves me out. But I've come to expect far worse from the Japanese figure market, so meh. ^^;;

Maaan me too! It's unfortunate that the statue's sold out (maybe they'll get more? I'm not sure how the industry does this. Goes to show no one's put off by the hot/assertiveness though!)

Frankly, I'm surprised the PVC people tackled Revy at all when she seems so subversive for anime heroines but I'm pleased that whatever went into the planning of this one, someone had it more together than the workforce that went into.. all the other top links. Urg.

(I know, it's creepy! I've seen alt!Revy's face on a frillion other "heehee I'm harmless!" anime girl vinyl statues, I'm sure of it!)
