The Asums DMC 5 Trish figure disappointed pretty much everyone with its looks, but from a figure perspective it's alright.
When you first receive it, your first task is to unwrap the thing, as it is covered up like a freakin' mummy.
You get a choice of two heads - the game accurate head, and then they also did an animation head. Neither of them hit the spot, and it's really an issue of which one you don't mind more. From a posing perspective, it's always going to be the one with the rooted hair.
Other accessories include her pistols, giant sword, a pizza with box, handcuffs, bath towel, base/stand, and a weapons rack that you can house all the weapons from the series, but would require me to actually do work so I skipped it. Early purchases include a Devil May Cry marquee to attach on this board.
In addition to inaccurate heads, you also get a, sadly, in accurate body, mostly in the chest and shoulders area, though the pipe cleaner arms aren't exactly doing her any favours. Actual quality of the body isn't bad, certainly better than the Playtoy Chun LI body that ripped the first time I posed it. There's a few QC issues in one of the hips, I feel. Wrist articulation I feel is better than the typical seamless due to the wrist design.
On a related note, the outfit has a few quirks. The pants are made from the same material as the uniform on the Hot Toys Avengers Black Widow figure, which had a tendency to stretch or rip, so that'll be fun to watch out for. The top is actually poorly tailored - it zips up at the back, but my issue is that any time I would pose the torso the thing would move out of place. The wrists can handle the pistols perfectly, but I wouldn't think about posing this figure with the giant sword.
Also, for anyone that cares, I don't think her body is anatomically correct, though I can only verify the breasts.
Articulation wise, pretty typical for a seamless body though I suppose due to lack of bulk the shoulders appear to be more posable than usual. Hips and knees feel limited to me. Ankles are typical ball joints, so at least the figure can stand and pose.
Paint Application, I don't really have any references, this being my first Asmus and all, but it seems alright. Most of the work is on the weapons, in particular the giants sword. Work on the face seemed perfectly acceptable. As always, there's a slightly difference between the flesh tone of the hard plastic parts and the body.
Build Quality wise, it was mainly the concerns regarding the outfit and the wrist strength. I guess I should probably add that the head design, more specifically, the neck adapter design, is really really weird. There is a giant cavity and they just super glue the neck adapter into this giant cavern, so take care not to cause this to pop off, else you will need to super glue it back.
