W.A.R. # 33 : Kill Bill, Series 1
Tarantino, Uma Thurman, Sonny Chiba, Samurai swords, Hong Kong style action scenes, a spankin' soundtrack...what more can you want?It is still one of the best action movies I have seen since Pendekar Bujang Lapok...haha.

Packaging
The packaging from Neca is pretty standard with all its series. Just big enough for the figure and its accessories.

Detail/Sculpt
The Series 1 is based on the sword fight at The House of Blue Leaves. Also available in this series is a Quentin Tarantino figure as one of the Crazy 88 fighters. Whilst the Bride and Go Go comes with weapons, the Crazy 88 fighters also comes with a bottle of liquid to simulate the blood gushing out of their removable limbs(nice...)
The Bride
Amazing sculpt from the face down to the yellow Asics shoes.

Go Go Yubari
Cute...sexy...and very scary.

Johnny Mo & The Crazy 88
Even though on the packaging it says Crazy 88 fighter for the bald guy, it's actually Johnny Mo. One of O-Ren's personal bodyguards.

One for the Books
Doesn't seem fair does it?
Now that's more like it...*************************************************************************************
Articulation
Not much to talk about here. The whole concept is the sword fight and the stance. So don't expect the bride or Go Go to do splits. Unless that is, you count the fact that the Crazy 88 fighters have removable limbs(just like in the movie when the bride cuts them up).
*************************************************************************************
Pricing
Roughly between AUD 15 - 20 each but if you can find it for less(new in box) then that would be a great deal. I prefer Series 1 than the 2nd because this set it taken from my favourite battle scene from Volume 1.

I typed the above review two weeks ago. It turns out that David Carradine was found dead on 3rd June in Bangkok. No witty remarks...so we'll just leave it at that.
Till next time. Keep on collecting guys.
