modernwizardI'm not about to pay ~$200.00 for a Hot Toys Selina Kyle, but I would drop $200.00 without a second thought on Medicom Jolyne Cujoh, a 1:6 scale action figure based on a character from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, a Japanese manga/anime/media franchise.
I know nothing about the character or the media franchise, but I don't have to. I love everything about her, from her complicated hairstyle to her pissed-off alternative head to her meretricious arachnid outfit to her navel piercing. She's beautiful!
She also reminds me of another Medicom 1:6 scale femfig, also an expensive Japanese import, also from a Japanese manga, also with unusually colored hair, also with a pissed-off expression, that I got about ten years ago: Bambi from Bambi and Her Pink Gun. Anyone who is familiar with my 1:6ers will take a quick look at Bambi and immediately identify her [or at least her head] as Baozha, an LHFer and the adopted [human] daughter of the leader of Chinatown's vampires, Chow Bang. [Here she is having a typically adversarial relationship with her father in an interstitial episode of LHF.]
Jolyne is perfect, except for one thing...
She needs pink hair!
I wonder if Baozha started my unreasonable affinity for pink-haired dolls?
Uh oh. I think I just felt ~$200.00 leave my bank account and head to Japan to exchange itself for a Medicom Jolyne.
