This is a still image of Vass (voice, face and body capture by Michael Mando), writtten by Lucien Soulban for the video game Farcry 3 (Ubisoft 2011).

Living in Canada, one of the places I generally avoid for things like Figmas and Figuarts is Amazon Canada. It's usually just North American MSRP, months late, or worse, filled with third party sellers that just inflate the price to infinity and beyond.

But, occasionally you do get a surprise in the form of Amazon clearing out their own stock. Such was the case with the Figma of D.Va, ace Korean Exo-Suit pilot in the Overwatch universe. Snagged her for around $37 CAD plus taxes, which is dirt cheap for a Figma that has some sort of street recognition. To put things in perspective, she was released in 2019 for around 6,300 Yen, or about $80 CAD, in Japan.

This still seems to be the price at the time of this writing, and I suspect it has to do with them clearing out the stock to make space for that Academy skin version of her.

I've seen D.Va around for quite some time now - more so than Tracer, due to the fact that cosplaying as D.Va generally is easier due to a variety of purchasable components for her look. Of course, I did a bit of digging and learned the tale of how a former E-sport professional ended up piloting robots for the Korean army, while still being active on social media for her adoring fans.

Understandably, there has been no Figma scaled MEKA suit to go along with D.Va, as based on media I've looked at the suit would be gigantic.

So what do you get in the box?

Considering its MSRP, I'd dare so she's a bit light on the contents, (Fate figures are around the same price, but often have more pieces and more complex outfits). but I suspect licensing added a few bucks to the price.

You get the figure, three total face plates (neutral smile, her trademark "one eye" look, and gum chewing), two total heads (one with her trademark headset giving her that bunny look, one with a baseball cap), her pistol, 13 total additional hands including dedicate "Peace" hand, "Selfie" hand, a pair of Heart hands, and Cola gripping hand, bubble gum effect, and of course a Figma stand.

Overall, D.Va looks pretty good. Proportions are within acceptable parameters, though to my eyes her torso is a bit scrawny (but her bust appears to be accurate). Her head is also a bit on the small side. Her face plates are done quite well, though compared to the other ladies I own (Tracer, Pharah, Widowmaker) definitely shows more of that stylized anime look that the Hasbro collectors keep talking about, but given the nature of the character this inaccuracy kind of works in her favour.

D.Va. effectively wears a body suit, one that has an interesting colour scheme that I would associate with anime racing than the Korean army, but it works so.... carry on . In the event you're unfamiliar with it, the suit is a lovely mix of blue, white, pink, and.. I kid you not... sponsor decals which I'm guessing are a mix of made up and real world companies.

Due to the lack of costume bulk, D.Va's range of motion is generally unhindered. She has toes, ankles, single jointed knees, hips with thigh swivel, mid torso, shoulders with chest compress and bicep swivel, single jointed elbows, wrists, and double jointed neck.

The double jointed neck is kind of a new thing, which has the standard Figma peg in the body and another ball joint in the back of the head, which overall allows for greater range of head motion. In fact, D.Va. can look down at her toes and can look up fairly well.

I admittedly didn't pay that much attention to the other head (Baseball cap) but I'm guessing this joint arrangement is there as well.

Additional features from an articulation perspective are the inclusion of a hinge in the hair of the standard head which allows for greater range of head motion (by moving hair out of the way). The Baseball cap head doesn't have this as D.Va's hair is done up in a bun.

They also gave her hips that drop down. This drop down doesn't really affect the range of motion of the legs to the front and back of D.Va., but it does allow her to pop her hip out in one direction and accomplish to curve emphasizing supermodel poses.

Paint work was.. surprisingly messy, if I'm being honest. The base paint work was solid, as always, but the highlight/masking work is actually not that great. There are basically paint bleeds on every possible location, an don mine it seems like they missed a coat of pink on the lines for her abdomen, as those are significantly darker than the rest of her body. The paint on her gun is almost Marvel Legends level of medicore. The face plates came out nicely though, and the great decals do help to distract from the above mentioned issues.

Regarding the matter of build quality, nothing to really report about there as all is as expected. Proper fit, no unsightly seams or gaps, joints hold their positions, limbs are properly sized. There are a few unsightly lumps in the hair, but again, within the usual level of quality expected of a Figma.

In conclusion, D.Va. looks great from the usual 6 ft. distance but up close, shes one of those statistical anomalies where the paint work easily detectable to be kind of poor. I know I've seen some shoddy paint work on KOS-MOS and Saber Bride, but those were the result of complex costumes or were only with one particular colour. Here, its pretty much every single colour that is used for detailing.

The decals, great face plates, and general ability to pose like superstar do overshadow the paint work, but if you're a stickler like me, it's something to note.

So by my math, I'm now one short of completing the Overwatch Figma ladies club.

Here's hoping for a Mercy to go on sale.

Snagged her for around $37 CAD plus taxes, which is dirt cheap for a Figma that has some sort of street recognition. To put things in perspective, she was released in 2019 for around 6,300 Yen, or about $80 CAD, in Japan.

This still seems to be the price at the time of this writing, and I suspect it has to do with them clearing out the stock to make space for that Academy skin version of her.

I've seen D.Va around for quite some time now - more so than Tracer, due to the fact that cosplaying as D.Va generally is easier due to a variety of purchasable components for her look. Of course, I did a bit of digging and learned the tale of how a former E-sport professional ended up piloting robots for the Korean army, while still being active on social media for her adoring fans.

Understandably, there has been no Figma scaled MEKA suit to go along with D.Va, as based on media I've looked at the suit would be gigantic.

So what do you get in the box?

Considering its MSRP, I'd dare so she's a bit light on the contents, (Fate figures are around the same price, but often have more pieces and more complex outfits). but I suspect licensing added a few bucks to the price.

You get the figure, three total face plates (neutral smile, her trademark "one eye" look, and gum chewing), two total heads (one with her trademark headset giving her that bunny look, one with a baseball cap), her pistol, 13 total additional hands including dedicate "Peace" hand, "Selfie" hand, a pair of Heart hands, and Cola gripping hand, bubble gum effect, and of course a Figma stand.

Overall, D.Va looks pretty good. Proportions are within acceptable parameters, though to my eyes her torso is a bit scrawny (but her bust appears to be accurate). Her head is also a bit on the small side. Her face plates are done quite well, though compared to the other ladies I own (Tracer, Pharah, Widowmaker) definitely shows more of that stylized anime look that the Hasbro collectors keep talking about, but given the nature of the character this inaccuracy kind of works in her favour.

D.Va. effectively wears a body suit, one that has an interesting colour scheme that I would associate with anime racing than the Korean army, but it works so.... carry on . In the event you're unfamiliar with it, the suit is a lovely mix of blue, white, pink, and.. I kid you not... sponsor decals which I'm guessing are a mix of made up and real world companies.

Due to the lack of costume bulk, D.Va's range of motion is generally unhindered. She has toes, ankles, single jointed knees, hips with thigh swivel, mid torso, shoulders with chest compress and bicep swivel, single jointed elbows, wrists, and double jointed neck.

The double jointed neck is kind of a new thing, which has the standard Figma peg in the body and another ball joint in the back of the head, which overall allows for greater range of head motion. In fact, D.Va. can look down at her toes and can look up fairly well.

I admittedly didn't pay that much attention to the other head (Baseball cap) but I'm guessing this joint arrangement is there as well.

Additional features from an articulation perspective are the inclusion of a hinge in the hair of the standard head which allows for greater range of head motion (by moving hair out of the way). The Baseball cap head doesn't have this as D.Va's hair is done up in a bun.

They also gave her hips that drop down. This drop down doesn't really affect the range of motion of the legs to the front and back of D.Va., but it does allow her to pop her hip out in one direction and accomplish to curve emphasizing supermodel poses.

Paint work was.. surprisingly messy, if I'm being honest. The base paint work was solid, as always, but the highlight/masking work is actually not that great. There are basically paint bleeds on every possible location, an don mine it seems like they missed a coat of pink on the lines for her abdomen, as those are significantly darker than the rest of her body. The paint on her gun is almost Marvel Legends level of medicore. The face plates came out nicely though, and the great decals do help to distract from the above mentioned issues.

Regarding the matter of build quality, nothing to really report about there as all is as expected. Proper fit, no unsightly seams or gaps, joints hold their positions, limbs are properly sized. There are a few unsightly lumps in the hair, but again, within the usual level of quality expected of a Figma.

In conclusion, D.Va. looks great from the usual 6 ft. distance but up close, shes one of those statistical anomalies where the paint work easily detectable to be kind of poor. I know I've seen some shoddy paint work on KOS-MOS and Saber Bride, but those were the result of complex costumes or were only with one particular colour. Here, its pretty much every single colour that is used for detailing.

The decals, great face plates, and general ability to pose like superstar do overshadow the paint work, but if you're a stickler like me, it's something to note.

So by my math, I'm now one short of completing the Overwatch Figma ladies club.

Here's hoping for a Mercy to go on sale.
