Action Figure #373: D-Arts Noel Vermillion

  It's about time we get more gunslingers into this!

 Blazblue... Blazblue certainly was something, huh? It had some amazing designs, like Noel Vermillion here, but it also had designs that they completely ruined like Bullet, with her pose, or Makoto with her clothes. I wish there were other action figures, like Hakumen, Susano-o and Jin... but I'll take what I can get.
 Noel is a very good looking figure. She is very tiny, but has a nice amount of detail sculpted into the rubbery middle piece to simulate it being skin-tight. The skirt part of the vest is pre-sculpted, making her look very dynamic. She comes with her hat, which you can take off, as well as an alternate long-haired head. There are two optional red rope accessories you can plug on her arms, but do be careful, as they are made up of rather hard plastic, so bend them too much and they will break. She also comes with a little stand to prop up her gun if you add the shooting effect, because it can be a bit too heavy for her wrists.. although sometimes I've been able to pose it just fine without the stand.
 On the articulation side of things, you can tell that it's an older figure, she has ball jointed arms, elbows, knees, legs and wrists. They all work very well. For her torso, she has a ball-jointed ab crunch with a fair amount of range. The long haired head has this tiny issue... due to the hair, you can barely, just BARELY turn it to either side, which is a bit of a shame as I like it a tiny bit more with the hair hanging loose.
 She's a fine figure, she is. I just wish I had other Blazblue characters, the cool ones, to pair her up with!
