ThreeA - World of 7174 Studio 10th Anniversary Figure : Ms. 74.




 



WO7174 or World of 7174 is a BlogSpot which Ashley Wood and T.P. Louise i.e. Mrs. Wood manage to highlight their works and other collaborations. This figure was released on Bambaland as WO7174 studio tenth anniversary commemoration. Designated as "Ms. 74", the figure represents a stylised version of Ms. T.P. Louise. As I have seen Ashley Wood, I am curious about how the real life TP Louise would look like. Chances are nil. The figure was released on, not sure, either the tenth anniversary date or her birthday itself. Released as a random drop, I "accidentally" stumbled upon it on Bambaland when I woke up on the wrong date, a Sunday on this side of the world, to score the WWR Evol Battlechild set, thus making it quite a memorable moment. Looking back, there was an announcement posted informing us Ms. 74 would be released on that Sunday but I didn't take note of it. The figure is alright with minimal accessories except for a 1/6th spectacle but could not be put on. And I noted that the brown carton shipping box description has the word "Bunny" on it. I wonder what that means. However there are the increasingly common "bold" mold lines and rough finishing on the hands (first surfaced way back to the WWR Rothchild figure). And again, like Squidy Fondle Miyu, the hair sculpt is slightly rough and the facial texture are not smooth (something which I noted began with the Isobelle Pascha line) in comparison to ThreeA's older figures. Later there was a "Mr. 71 and Eddie" figure, representing the man himself and the pet dog which I miss. It would be a crime not to pair them up but the secondary market price is crazy high. Let's see how it all goes. After all, didn't "Mr. 71" went rogue and become a N.O.M. Commander?
