K.T Figure Collection DX
Kasumi
Dead or Alive K.T Figure Collection DX Contents: Kasumi, 2 heads, 6 hands, 2 belts, 4 thighs, sword, instruction sheet.
Personally I think Kasumi is the best figure in this line! She looks spot on to her video game counterpart, and has some very nice paint apps which add lots of detail. She has a bird on the front of her tunic, as well as her clan symbol (at least thats what I think it is) on her back.
No effort has been spared in making her look just right. She comes with lots of extra parts, 2 heads, one friendly and one angry, 4 extra hands, an extra belt garment, 2 extra thighs (for those sexy crouching poses, hey it's Japanese, expect fan service ;) as well as her ninja clan sword!.
Particular mention should go to her hair, which is interchangable between her heads, and is made out of a fantastic translucent orange plastic. Attention to detail like this really make this figure stand out. Kasumi is also availible in an alternate outfit, white with red trim instead of blue.
From a technical point of view the last time I saw joints like these was in Kaiyodo's Evangelion action figure line (which was released in 2001 I think), and I have to say by miniturising those basic joints Kaiyodo have really outdone themselves. Click on the thumbnails for more images!
