These are the 'stripped down' images that I excluded from my review. For this reason, these images will be presented as links. img.photobucket.com/albums/v164/adamassc/DSCF0799.jpgI still don't understand why Yujin didn't give Celica a real bikini or some actual kind of undergarmet. The magically held in place triangles just seem weird. img.photobucket.com/albums/v164/adamassc/DSCF0800.jpgHere you can see the incomplete left stocking that was mentioned in the normal review. It should also be noted that Celica is very difficult to undress the first time, but becomes easier afterwards. img.photobucket.com/albums/v164/adamassc/DSCF0801.jpgSomething I failed to notice last time is that the 'handle' in Celica's braid can be posed. I've never understood why she has a handle in her hair, as she's just asking to get it caught on a door handle or something. img.photobucket.com/albums/v164/adamassc/DSCF0802.jpgCelica's outfit. I can't help but wonder whose in charge of wardrobe. To my knowledge, Celica's intimates never made a cameo, so I can only guess that the color and style choices were an artistic liberty. The other SRDX Celica's skirt also comes off, but I'm pretty sure she doesn't have a red thong on. |

Seems to me like an unfinished painted-on bikini. Yanno? Forgot the strings.

Maybe the pseudo-bikini is actually a form of clan tattoo, like you see on random anime character's faces (so they don't look exactly like other anime characters' faces)?
...
OUCH.
As for the handle thing... I suppose it's just a form of personal furnishing... hell, people put polished steel pins through their tongues, why not a silver handle to weigh down unruly hair?

Thats like all women pal, except for the tarts and the sluts ;D I know that this is supposed to be funny, but I really don't like seeing that sort of language. This is a zoids forum, not a misogyny forum. Words like '*Watch your language!*' have no place in decent society, ever. |

Agreed...that post was rather pointless and annoying. Back on topic...I find the hair handle a slight bit odd. For that reason, I think I prefer the Limited Edition version of this SRDX. The thing I find really aggravating is the unfinishedness of the right stocking and top. For a SRDX figure at this price point...it's just unacceptable  Speaking of which, The million dollar question...in your opinion, adamassc..at $50+, is this figure worth the money? |

For a SRDX figure at this price point...it's just unacceptable Speaking of which, The million dollar question...in your opinion, adamassc..at $50+, is this figure worth the money? I paid 54.99, with 22.99 shipping and 2.05 insurance. That makes this SRDX Celica figure's total $80.03. Is it worth it? Oh f& K Yeah! My personal love affair with Celica aside, this SR is a sturdier material, a less aesthetically interfereing base, only minor Yujin alterations, and a beautiful level of detail. The two issues I do have with it(antigravity bikini top and pixel fading stocking) aren't a problem unless you want to pose her undressed. I'm hopeful that the SRDX SP line will continue, and that we'll finally see some underrated zoid girls. I would personally like to see Sweet, Amy, Van's sister, and Naomi in her 'Red Comet' outfit. And Raetelme. |

Yeah, I'm gonna second that OUCH, considering even if you're okay with the initial pain, tattoos aren't very nice to more delicate skin after XD. Some creative use of double-sided tape instead, perhaps? The artists had creative issues with string and declined to finish? I get a handle for decoration, but I would think it'd be damn inconvenient on the end of hair, and it just plain makes no sense on Kingliger. On a flying Zoid you could argue waterskiing purposes...hrm, there is the Winglider. Naomi looked much nicer in that dress than in the thongamajig outfit D:. |

umm...does she have a mole on her butt??? O.O haha that aside...well, Feona/Finne/whatever used to be my favorite zoid gal, but...I think she's been replaced.  ZOMG I FIGURED IT OUT!! I know what's holding the red triangles in place! fishing line. That's why we can't see it. |

Fiona or Fine, depending on if you go by dub or Japanese. Fine is pronounced "fee-nay" and goes with that business about her name being a key or whatever it was (I only watched the end to GF properly in Japanese and it's been...a while), what with her seemingly existing to stop/end Zoids Eve to stop the Death Saurer.

The marks on her butt and neck are paint rubs from her clothes. They'd probably come off, but I'd feel like a major pervert rubbing her hind end for any reason. Anyways, heres a few more pictures, showing the range Celica is available in  Packaging. Obviously, I don't keep the capsule girls 'in package'  a height comparison. You can see that the SP is a good bit taller than the SRDX standard  This one's a good facial shot. All the Celica figures have a good expression. Since someone's bound to ask: the normal SRDX Celica has gray undies on, not red like the sp, or green like her bikini. As long as we're on fashion, does anyone know what those things are in her hair? |

Those aren't tattoos, silly. That's zoid-lignite reacting with their skin.  |

Celica:Listen up, boys, just because I get a little frisky with Lion doesn't mean I'm the kinda girl to show off my undergarments to just anybody. ...I guess that would be a no, SB. |
