No it's still not a great likeness, but I think there's a more than vague resemblance at least.

Sorta. The eyes and nose throw it off to me. The hair doesn't look the best either. I think if there was a better sculpt of her the figure would be more appealing.
 
The head looks like a cross between Helen Hunt and Celine Dion lol.
 
Is the motorcycle outfit body the same as the tracksuit outfit body? If so, then the PT head with helmet is not compatible. I tried. It has different neck pegs. I guess you could mod it to fit maybe.
 
Thanks Lawrence. Probably the two Iminime figures use the same body. Would you be kind of enough to post a picture (or pm to me) showing the PT helmet head viewing from underneath ? thanks-
 
You mean the helmet alone? It's an empty helmet. It's hollow, & works like a real helmet. You put it over an existing head sculpt. Sorry, to be clear, when I said the neck pegs weren't compatible, I was referring to the PT female head sculpt, because the sculpt is needed for the helmet to be placed on a figure. You can kinda see it in this pic I posted earlier.

I'm happy enough to take another pic of underneath the helmet if you still need it. PM me if you want, if I don't hear from you, I'm guessing the above pic was enough.
 
See subject.

I purchased the PLAY TOY "Bride Killer 2.0" figure recently.

Here is my review.

The front and back of the box.

The inner contents of the box.

The display stand for the figure. It has a removable cover/lid on the base where one can insert an card with the figure's name or graphic or whatever similar to the upcoming larger figure base stands from PLAY TOY.

The sword and the scabbard. The sword is identical to the first version of the "Bride Killer" figure from PLAY TOY. It's made metal.

The figure comes with four pairs of hands. The open palm/relaxed hands are already on the figure. Pictured are the additional hand grips/poses. If changing the grips/poses, be sure to use a hot air dryer on them for about 30 seconds or before removing the peg and do the same before inserting the peg into a new grip/pose.

The motorcycle helmet and pistol.

The pistol's upper frame slides forward. The clip is removable, but somewhat loose. and the cocking mechanism can be moved back and forward (do so gently).

The motorcycle helmet is OK. It is spacious enough to fit snug on the figure's head. The visor does not appear to be movable thus far from what I tried (carefully)

Here is the figure out of the box as is.

The outfit's material feels OK, but it doesn't feel "cheap" thus far.

The rooting on the hair appears fine, but the hair is a bit unruly so a bit of gentle brushing is needed to properly set the hair.

The head sculpt does resemble Uma Thurman a little bit more so than the first version of the figure, but the likeness is still not necessarily there.

The paint application on the head sculpt is fine as is with no noticeable quality issue.

The figure's ..... is not prominent as the first version.

The joints are firm and not overly tight.

After a bit of futzing, I have the figure displayed/posed as I like thus far.

Is the figure a "must buy"?

No, but it will nicely complement the first version of the figure provided if you purchased the first version or if you're into film related figures or if you're a fan of the film and want a good 1:6 version of "The Bride"

I'm pleased with the purchase. I may procure another one to open and look for a yellow New Ray 1:6 motorcycle to display/pose with it.

The figure is available from the "usual suspects". Check with your preferred 1:6 retailers.

Personally speaking, I recommend SMcG Customs.

This is the first version of the "BRIDE KILLER" figure.

"Bride Killer" is/was PLAY TOY's very first boxed figure offering. It uses the first version of the PLAY TOY female body that some of us experienced a variety of quality issues. The figure comes dressed in the bloodied outfit. You can swap it with the non-bloodied outfit. She comes with the default open palm/relaxed hands.

Yes. That's a big @ $ $ indeed.

She's ready to take on anyone/everyone!

The rooted hair is unruly. I don't recommend attempting to brush it. I managed to relax and set the hair a bit by using a wet cotton swab to gently set the unruly hair. Be patient because it'll take time.

The design flaws of the first version of the female PLAY TOY body makes posing the figure a bit problematic.

The likeness to "The Bride" is not quite there.

If you missed out on this figure (it came out last year), you can still find it online through eBay. I believe most of the 1:6 retailers are sold out.
 
Honestly, I love Kill Bill but I will never own this. It's terrible. If someone knocks it out of the park someday then probably.

Really would like a 1:6 figure of Bill or Pai Mei though.
 
The sword is metal and looks really nice. I was able to pick up a parted out one on the SMCG link above, but unfortunately it looks like that was the only one they had for now.
