I just got mine in from BBTS, and she's fantastic. Initial thoughts are that he's smaller than I expected, but comparing her to other statues she seems in scale. I've got photos here with Hot Toys Rey, Tweeterhead Catwoman, and Bowen Jean Grey. Not sure if Jean is supposed to be 1/6, but she's comparable.
I didn't expect the blue of her outfit to have a texture, but it's really nicely done. From far away it's not noticeable, but close up it really adds to it.
Paint work is great. There's a small black scuff behind one of her bracelets on her arm, but it's not noticeable from most angles.
I had originally hoped the fire effects were removable, but now that I have her in hand they really add to the piece. Her arms attach with pegs inside of her sleeves, and they feel a bit rickety. I might put some plumbers tape around the pegs just to ensure they have a more snug fit. The head attaches with a magnet, and feels nice and tight.
I've never bought a Kinetiquettes statue before, but the box is very impressive. The lid is a separate piece, and lifts off completely. No flaps or tabs. It feels very thick, and isn't just one layer of cardboard.
The styrofoam isn't taped together either, but is rather held closed by two velcro straps that wrap around it. Very impressive!
Overall she might be a bit too expensive for the scale after I paid exchange, shipping, and taxes, but I did get the edition with the print included, which I was not expecting. I'm still very happy with her, since I've been waiting on a great Chun-Li statue that didn't have massive thighs for some time. (I'm not partial to that look for her.)
