Alice The Gate Opener Boost version 1/8 (Alter/Hobby Japan) review
By James. Filed in Figures Pics, Figures Reviews |
More under the cut
Here’s the adult version of the 2008 hit , loli Alice from Alpha/Omega . Only available for preorder by Hobby Japan , she’s finally out , after quite a long wait (i preordered and paid her last june …) . But as you can see , she was worth the wait , as Alter made (again !) a great looking figure .
Alice is standing in an awesome pose , in the middle of a jump , with her weapons ready . There is four weapons in the box , two whips and two guns , so you can swap them whenever you want . Personally i like to display her with one whip and one gun , just like the proto shoots . The proto shoots were not looking that great , the painting looked quite approximative and it was a disapointement from Alter , but i kept my preorder , as i was expecting a better retail version . And of course , the retail version is fine , no more painting problems , it’s Alter’s work from sure .
The paint used is really good , i really like the glossy black paint they used for her clothes and wings . But it’s not all that great , as the hair is not as nice than it should be (but still very good , just expected more) and the painting on it is not perfect . The base is not really a looker too , as it seems so plastic , and that’s makes it the worst part on this figure . But it’s the case for nearly all PVC figures anyway …
So yes , Alter did it again , Alice Boost version is a must buy for fans of the character or fans of nice looking figures . If only the hair and the base were more detailled , it would have been perfect . But it’s not , sadly .
Really nice figure overall , looks good in a collection . Sadly the bad looking base si spoiling a little her true beauty .
8/10 (9/10 if you’re fan of the character)

her pose is very good, better than the DFC ver I say, but for the overall, I still say DFC ver win

I am so so getting her!!! But don’t know how and where … *sob* … anyway, great photos as always and agree on the base. Figure bases are definitely not Alter’s forte. But there’s no denying a great figure. ^^

Love the body, but not a big fan of her hair.

Tes photos sont très belles, et même bien en valeur Alice dans sa forme adulte. Pourtant, je n’accroche pas du tout, mais alors pas du tout. Disproportionné à mon goût avec ses gros seins (elle va avoir mal au dos plus tard..) et un visage bizarre (le nez me choque, va savoir pourquoi).
Bref, pour ma part, je me contenterai de la version enfant, et je ne regrette pas de pas m’être tournée vers la version adulte
(Ouf! en ce moment tu ne me pousses pas vers l’achat ^^)

Sharp photos!
She was sold at a very high price locally so I didn’t get her
Don’t quite like big boobs in the first place LOL!!!

Je n’ai pas eu de coup de coeur pour cette version adulte comme je l’ai eu pour la version enfant.
Cependant, comme c’est Alice, j’ai bien envie de la prendre.
Cependant, son prix de vente fait que j’hésite beaucoup.
A méditer …
Sinon, tes photos sur fonds blanc sont mes préférés.

1/8? She looks more like a 1/7 judging by that size.
Great pictures. Yep, the base could have been better. It’s a great figure I don’t know get why most ruin the overall look of the figure by adding an ordinary base. -_-

@ optic : don’t forget that she’s an adult
usually we always get lolis 1/8 , that’s why she’s big for you
