Yeah, it's a very nice figure. I didn't realize it at the time, but this was actually the second figure for her?? Wonder if it was just a re packed version?

If I was so inclined and capable she would be perfect as a Korra custom.

Nice review though. Keep it up man. I enjoy these.
Thanks!! I agree 100%: Decent vehicle mode, poor robot mode. If I actually paid attentioned that it was another Windcharger, I would have passed on it.

Bandai- Big Hero 6; (Marshmallow) Baymax.

What can I say about Big Hero 6? It was a heartfelt movie with some wonderful and memorable characters. In my past review for Dusty (The Planes 2 toy) I mentioned that I was a Disney geek, so this movie was a bit of a no-brainer for me. Heck, I already like comics; add some Disney into the mix and i'm happy. The only bummer was that I felt BH6 was overshadowed by last years hit movie Frozen. The Disney community has taken a bit of a hard stance on Frozen lately (Think of how Transformers fan feel about Bumblebee) and while I really liked Frozen, I am more than Frozen-ed out. Overall I really love his Red Armour, but I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this version sporting his "non-intimidating", personal health care companion look; how could you not love this guy? He even comes with the "hairy baby" Mochi. With its success, including an Oscar, you have to believe that they are talking sequel, to which I'm kind of on the fence about. Sure I would love to see another big movie adventure, but i'm not so sure that another movie can capture the charm of the first. Honestly, I feel like a weekly cartoon television series would lend itself very well to the brand and the further development of the characters. They could even work in an Incredibles crossover.

Pros: Great look with the likeness being spot on. I loved that they included Mochi.
Cons: Limited articulation, Doesn't warm up.

Overall it is a nice representation of an excellent character who will enjoy much popularity over then next few years.
