I recently obtained a set of book shelves which allowed me to devise a new shrine set-up.
What better way to celebrate that than to get a new piece for the collection. And what a piece!
Purchased through Big Bad Toy Store , this is the Yamaguchi Revoltech Supergirl figure from Japan.
Like many pieces from Japan, it is extremely articulated, with moving joints, and some articulation in the chest and even hair. If you are looking for a figure to pose in a million different ways, it is this one.
Add to the articulation that the set comes with 4 different sets of hands and 3 different faces and this is the toy that keeps on giving. Yes, there is a 'red eyes' face but also a serious and smiling one. And hands are fists or splayed of flat handed. It is pretty fun.
Add to that you get a stand with peg-holes and an extension you can stick in the figure's back to give the illusion of flying. I like the gold (not yellow) accents of the shield. It even has a cloth cape.
I picked this 'flying by to say hey!' pose.
It found a home on the 'action figure' shelf of the shrine!

Congratulations on the new addition! At 100 dollars, this doesn't seem like a toy one would give to a small child.
I've seen several Youtube videos on this figure. I'd like to get it, but something about that $100 price stops me. Maybe a sale will turn up.
In pictures 2 and 3 some of the older action figures appear to be eyeing the newcomer somewhat suspiciously, as if they're not quite sure about her yet. But in the end, I'm sure they'll all get along.
