Alice Madness Returns Hysteria Figure Review

Ok as no one has done this I am uploading a few pictures of each of the Alice Figures as I get them with a Review.

Zip File of 7 High Res images of the Figure for whatever use you may find.

If you use them do just give me a quick heads up!.

The Review.

Ok I have as I'm sure a lot of people need rather stocked about the Alice Figures coming out.

Packaging----8/10.

It presents a nice clear view of the model and the exact shape and design I have not seen before its something interesting, it also does a very good job of protecting the model.

The Downside is the cardboard additions to the packaging are themselves the most vulnerable part of the entire product.!!

Several on the shelf showed considerable crushing damage.

-----------------------------

Sculpt---8/10.

She is Alice and a damned crazy one at that, the details are all accurate and the hair/bow and hair are of a semi flexible rubber not solid plastic which means changing the pose is not a matter of fighting the dress constantly (shame the same could not be said for the hair which is still very tough to move, all you get is the slightest flex in the ends).

The Face is the biggest challenge and while it looks good I could not say it's an amazing likeness of the in game model, perhaps the artists worked from concept art/pre production shot or something, but she is still Alice.

And one small detail that pointed out is that the pendant in Hysteria mode changes to a ribbon chocker with the Pluto symbol instead.

-----------------------------

Paint---7/10

Hysteria is a hard model to judge as she is white with red on her....however what is there is almost all very good, the arms, dress and face are all done to a high standard and the reproduction between each model is exact (perhaps some randomness might have been nice but no one can complain it doesn't match exactly).
The only point I can fault is the skull on her back, it is a tad confusing as to if it was meant to be all read and someone missed some edges or was just a splattering of blood!, not a deal breaker though.

-----------------------------

Accessories---9/10

She comes with the Vorpal blade, Pepper Grinder and Hobby Horse.

The Blade - I cannot fault it is detailed enough for it's size and is reasonably covered in blood.

Pepper Grinder - Has some great detail and the handle even moves all the way round, the only slight niggle would be the edges on the eyes (paint).

Hobby Horse - Ok now this is a thorn in my side the horse itself is massive (to scale for Alice), and has some superb detail...however it is an all red in various shades model, I'm unsure what art work the model makers were given but as pointed out to me by the in game model is white and covered in bandages...So something when amiss there, otherwise it is heavy and very good.

-----------------------------

Structure/Build Quality/Joints---4/10

This is there the model falls down, literally..!

While she has a lot of movable joints, I count about 18-20 they are not the strongest of joints, the arms specifically (she is a very dainty model which probably doesn't help) are very easy to move, so much so I had trouble posing her with the Hobby Horse AT ALL without having to balance it against her body weight.
And on that note the right hand grip is sized for the Grinder/Horse, the Vorpal Blade is help into place by a small rubber band...

While writing this she came off my shelf and onto my desk making me jump..
All the joints bar the neck and waist lack the real tension to hold her in place.
I have had to order an alternative stand with a waist grip to make sure she stays upright.

Overview.
Packaging----8/10.
Sculpt---8/10.
Paint---7/10
Accessories---9/10
Structure/Build Quality/Joints---4/10

Overall Score---6/10

I would love to give this model a 7 or 8 because it looks so nice with the weapons and paint job bar 1-2 tiny details... but due to the issues with the joints it brings the whole model down...

Still a purchase I do not regret and I will be getting the others in due course.
