I haven't posted in ages and since we're in quarantine for the virus, it looks as if I'll have a lot more time now. So, here's Zorii Bliss in all her glory. I went to watch that film twice, once when it came out with my dad and another time with a couple friends. On the first watch, I thought she was a nice addition even if she didn't appear that much. She provided a little bit of background for Poe Dameron and I had nothing against her. On the second watch, one of my friends was annoyed, or angry, about her being in the film. The reason being that she appeared out of nowhere and it got in the way of Poe and Finn being together. Which, I saw coming, nothing against it but I have little attachment to the series which made me enjoy the film. This figure showed up through Amazon Prime so I decided to take some pictures, especially since I don't do Star Wars stuff, and my Black Series figures get neglected.
Nice box, artwork looks good.
It has the same aesthetic as all the third phase Black Series figures.
She's number 103.
Zorii Bliss on the side, I gotta come up with a better way to show these pictures.
The back looks nice. I like the way the helmet looks. It's very Tokusatsu.
"It is difficult for scoundrels to remain neutral in the war between First Order and Resistance, and Zorii Bliss and the Spice Runners of Kijimi must soon take a side."
Okay, right off the bat, she looks amazing. I was looking forward to this figure once I saw the movie. At first, I didn't much care but in the film she has a really basic spandex bodysuit with a bunch of extra gear, which again, very Tokusatsu. I love the way the details are done, the seams on the bodysuit underneath the gold gear. Even the gold bracelets have detail on them. The belt looks amazing and they are a good home for her blasters which go in with the handle facing out. The boots are nicely done, but very hard to balance. I think the ankle articulation is to blame rather than the design of the boot. The chest shield, or the "bib" up at the top looks good. The whole figure has a nice cloth wrinkle detail throughout the sculpt. Even the neck, which is a separate piece to the upper torso (much like a Figuarts figure). The helmet looks strange and I love every bit of it. It has a "V" shaped visor and a lot of nice mechanical details on the sides. It's very symmetrical, I can't tell if it has a dark wash but it does have the detail pop. Maybe there are some hits of black detailing here and there.
She just looks amazing, I'm surprised with how much I love this figure. Both hands have gunslinger wrist articulation which is, honestly, the essential articulation when it comes to figures that use weapons.
They hold her pistols pretty well, maybe the hands are a little too big for the pistols.
The pistols have so much paint I can't even, how does a $20 figure have an accessory painted this well! She has a lot more detail than a Lightning Collection figure for the same price yet, have nicer paint application to her pistols, which are a lot more complexly detailed than most Sentai weapons.
Anyway, she can hold them both at the same time and they look great! The single joint on the elbow does look silly.
The holsters are connected to her thighs along the strap that is detailed. I wish the belt kept it's place but it moves around if you bend her legs at the hip since it's not secured.
For a perfect figure, what else do you want? Well, she has a surprise!
Her visor comes off! The clips on the sides of the visor allow the visor to come off to reveal her eyes. The figure's eyes are not as nice as Keri Russell's but they tried!
She looks better from far a way but it is a nice surprise. I didn't expect her to be able to do this.
In the end, she's a nice addition to the collection. We just need a new Finn and Poe to go along with the rest of
The Rise of Skywalker crew.
She was $19.99 on Amazon, I thought these figures were supposed to go up in price this year. She should be available everywhere that has Black Series figures for about the same price. Just, don't go out. I believe online shopping is still safe but don't quote me on that. It's best if you look that up. Stay safe everyone, wash your hands!
