Original Effect - SH-01 Shadow : Viola.



Original Effect (OE) Army Attractive line of 13 inches plus buxom female line of action figures largely escape my attention until lately. I saw the original when it first debut but I wasn't into the "theme" of the line. Also, the body used then and headsculpt finishing seemed to be lacking. With the "Shadow" series announced, with revised "Reborn Body" used in their later figures which means with rubberised torso, neck and hard plastic, the price is also quite reasonable for me to grab it. There is a reason why the retail is lower than the original. For one, there is no box and a comic book. Each figure comes pack in blister card. Secondly, I have to "cloth" the figure personally. And finally, in comparison, there are a number of accessories not available to this figure, unlike the original. The material used for the coat is different and more minimalistic. And there are no gun and cap. The advert stated that the "Shadow" line has "blue skin". This is not the case, thankfully, in comparison to the original but more pale. The only concern with this figure is that it could not stand, at all, regardless how I tried. And it keeps suffering from the case of "nipple slippage" due to corset design vs. the new body. Anyhoo, I would probably try to look into the secondary market for the accessories which come with the original version.
