Freaks Dilemma: desperate need for completion vs. desire for perfection
She looks ok in those videos, definitely nicer, all around, than the ToyWorks version.
In regards to Agent Smith, I hope that Hot Toys releases their version soon, as I do want another Smith figure. But in all honesty, I am truly fine with the Toy Works version. It is one of those figures that looks better in hand than in pics, for some reason.

A good discussion is like a miniskirt; Short enough to maintain interest and long enough to cover the subject.

Yeah I'm really happy with this release! The packaging is awesome. OSK really packs well for shipment too; double boxed and the inner 'shipper' is totally bubble wrapped and even includes plastic corner protectors, A+ job. I really should just stick with them for all my 3rd party PO's, they pack so well.
The box has a magnetic flap and the foam makes it feel like a DX. Doesn't come with a ton, that stand is included but wasn't in the promo pics. I had pre-emptively bought another Toys Works stand since I didn't think this was going to come with one at all. I agree the second jacket not on the figure is better and more Matrix 1 from what I can tell.
This is the first real phicen body I've ever had and you can really tell just when you pick it up. Much more weight to it than a typical figure. There looked to be a small amount of paint rub or transfer on one shoulder, not sure. It was a pain in the ass trying to put the coat on with the arms, I figured scotch tape was pretty innocuous, so I covered the arms a bit with that to help put it on and also maybe prevent paint rub. (If that's a dumb thing to do let me know haha). I could see they used plastic in the pants to get them on. The boobs on the body are a bit big, I can tell more in pics, I didn't notice as much in person.
In the pic where I showed the sunglasses on the foam, that cutout is where they are located. There's another cutout on the left side of the figure that didn't have anything in it, anyone else's like that? Just curious if there was anything missing. For the sunglasses themselves, I think they're fine. They may be like 1-2mm long. When I put them on the head and slide the arms above the ears, I feel like it's not right on her face, just a bit off. But at least they're pretty good looking, the lenses are dark but they're actually translucent.
This is also one of the first times I'm really fearing any peeling in the future. The entire outfit, boots, coat, etc all give me that worry. I bought some 303 a while ago, I should actually start using it. The back of her top looks like it's tied a little haphazardly, it'll never be seen but I tried to re-tie the knot to make it cleaner. But anyway, really happy to finally have this in! Not often you can truly feel "done" in this hobby, but I think I'm good!
Great pictures! Very informative! And congrats on getting her so soon.
Mine still hasn't budged and knowing yours and mine shipped about the same time its now driving me crazy.
BTW, does anyone know, can you close the jacket without the sash in back on the figure? I know there's no closure currently, I just wondered if it was possible to add hooks to make it close up like her coat in Reloaded.

Nice pics and review Dukefett! As far as the pleather goes, the only places I'm really worried about with mine are the coats. As nice as they look, they feel very delicate and remind me of the cheap pleather on the old Sideshow Buffy figures. But hopefully they'll last a while anyway.
I know a lot of people use that 303 stuff, but I'm pretty sure it only works on actual real leather.
