Instead of blogging my new 1/12-scale Brutishdog mecha figure, much more interesting is the a pilot figure. The mysterious Fyana was the prototype "Perfect Soldier" who figured in the main conspiracy in Armoured Troopers VOTOMS.
The figure is a beautiful sculpt molded in several kinds of plastics. Dropping the complex series of swivel joints that made up their Chirico figure, Yamato went with more conventional ball-joints on Fyana.
Fyana also comes with several swappable parts: helmet with targetting array in place or raised, her hair down, eyes open or closed, and neck with or without flight's colar. Considering the scale (1/12) the bits are impressively detailed.
Chirico gets a new pistol and a new hand to hold it. The set of new pieces gives him slightly better proportions - his mid-section get longer to make him a bit taller, and his head is a bit bigger. Oddly, because the pistol is much smaller than the Robocop-like gun he came with, his optional hand is smaller than the original hands. Of course, most importantly, he looks a bit more heroic standing taller than his counterpart.
