DSC_4043

            OK, so it took about 6 weeks but I finally get the parts I needed to make sure that Ms Wong wouldn't flash the camera when posing, or at least be modestly covered.

The SW Toys Ms Wong is one of... I think at least three Ada Wong offerings this past year or so. While each set had its pros and cons, most people settled on this set because of the quality of the access, or at least the perceived quality. I suppose the "bonus outfit" might have been a draw as well but I'll be honest, it's such a pain in the ass to swap clothes it wasn't even worth it to take a photo.

So the various belts and straps aren't some flimsy pleather, but rather they're a thicker plastic like you got with your old school He Man figures. They certainly are more durable than Pleather, but they're a pain to put on as the QC and material selection doesn't quite support accessories that have tiny holes and pins you need to assemble the pieces and to keep them assembled. At best, you'll probably need to reattach things but at worse I can see the pegs getting worn out by multiple sessions of reattaching things. I don't think they will support an overall curvier/stockier body.

The actual accessories themselves are somewhere in the neighborhood of Star Ace. None of the guns have any working parts, though the detailing on them isn't terrible. But I did find the  trigger hands didn't really hold any of the guns particularly well, so rather than frustrate myself to no end I just swapped in a pair of Deadpool pistols and used those for most of my pics instead. The other items (Walkie Talkie, Vial) are held in the other open hands nicely, though having not played the game, I have no idea what the golden egg is for, though it IS metal which is nice.

The outfit is highly unlikely that SW Toys made themselves, as everyone and their mother have the same sweater, and the market is flooded with these things. It's a nice sweater, even by normal full size standards. There should be sufficient give to word on a bustier body, but the thing is way too short, which is why I had to wait for some parts.  The boots just make an already too lanky/tall body even worse, though objectively the boots aren't great as you really can't fully access the ankle articulation. I swapped out the OEM leggings for something that featured a less obvious pattern. The boots and thigh holster are unlikely to work with anything thiccer.

The head... well where to start.  I guess with the obvious - the aesthetic isn't going please everyone. The heads are also a bit chunkier than most other heads, which is a nice problem to have as compared to other third party sets where the head is too small. The two expression each have articulated eyes, (larger head volume needed to accommodate the stalks, I guess) and it's interesting that we got two full heads as opposed to two face plates. I can't tell any difference between the back of heads themselves.  I feel they went for a lighter complexion on the flesh tone in order to match the Pale of the underlying body better.

The underlying body is a Phicen, so in general articulation isn't going to be a problem. As for Paint, its fairly basic on the body itself, consisting of the eyes (which are probably decals TBH) the facial make up, and the ridiculsouly small gloves on her hands.
