Personally I am not a fan of high fantasy medieval kinda stuff. It just seems so generic. While I can certainly appreciate the detail in something like this(and wow there is alot of it) It just isn't my cup of tea.
I also don't know if I agree about the being a more appropriate thing to display. Quite a few people would probably still think this was somewhat pervy due to the lack of much clothing tasteful or not. And most women would probably still think badly of someone for having something like this as they would be seen as a D&D geek or something.(something I have seen friends girlfriend accuse them of firsthand for figures like this).

Beautifully sculpted*, and it's refreshing to see a more realistically proportioned face and modest-sized boobs in a figure. But the chainmail bikini (or here, half-camisole) thing is not for me. I reckon I'd have liked her more if there was a stronger sense of scene to the whole thing, like if she was settling down for the evening, unwrapping bindings, sipping a hot drink, maybe some props or a scenic base to go with her...
*'cept for the accessories varying a bit. I love the studs around her hairline but in other places piercings and jewellery are chunky looking. Her earrings remind me of the earrings I punched into holes in the side of a Barbie's head as a kid.

The figure is definitely nice, but that artwork is gorgeous. I've never seen his artwork before, and I'm impressed.
I do like how she's more realistic, I'm not a huge fan of the bikini but I certainly wouldn't run for the hills if a guy had this on display. But maybe someone who isn't into figures would feel differently.
Well, either way, she's cool. Nice review!

Looks decent, but they went overboard with the tones in some places. Something is lost between the original art and the finished product, but part of that is because we're only seeing the pose from one angle in the art and it's not as flattering from the other positions. From those other angles it looks fairly contrived. Had she been reaching for an arrow from a quiver or something it would look more natural than just stopping to adjust her cloak
Although I agree with the statement, I can't help but note the irony given how similar most anime characters look.
I agree on every count.

Heh. And I almost made a review of mine as well.
The plentiful details are amazing but the coloring is a bit weird. Like the part of her thigh with the ripped hose is differently colored..why?
Mine is not gripping the cape thing.

Her face is very interesting. From the pictures her eyes seem to glint and her lips are very full, and I can tell they were careful about the nose as well. The earrings don't work for me though, and I don't think they really capture the earrings in the picture. Still, I could live with them. The Luis Royo collection is turning out pretty good. I like Black Tinkerbell and Medusa Gaze too, and think the three together would look good as a set.
Still, you'll definitely have to hide this figure if your dream dates involve prudish, uptight Puritans. (Of course, they'd hate the Royo Medusa Gaze they did even worse... )
One of those revolving bookshelves like they had in Young Frankenstein would be pretty cool... pull a candle-stick lever and your figure collection is replaced by the collected works of John Milton and John Bunyan.

I'd have to admit- if I saw this in someone's home, I'd assume they liked D&D or certain mmorpgs. Not that I would take it as a bad thing- but that's what this style of figure suggests.
Also I have to agree it's really no more "appropriate to display" to me than most anime figures( assuming their cast off parts are on). If I were to get right now to which would bother me more as a woman (if one of them where to) it would be this sort of figure. At least the anime figures are pure fantasy- no one is going to ever have a face or body like that and no man is going to expect to find that irl. With the figure here since it's more 'realistic' it's more like someone would expect to actually be able to find and hold as a standard. But it's just as much fantasy- it has no muscle tone needed to swing around that sword and it's face is far too smooth. I don't personally have a problem with this figure or an anime one, but I could still see it bothering some.
