Not usually one to put text on photos but for some reason one of my favorite Robert Frost poems really seemed to suite this. It holds true for most of my life.

I'll admit it - boobies got me to buy the Snail Shell House of Sand sisters, Saori and Shikura, with Saori being the taller one with the "less flattering" bust.
If you know what these are, then you know the deal - Snail Shell, at this point, has a pretty solid figure body (some creature stuff, but mostly humanoid female) that generally don't see any significant improvement from figure to figure.. unless it's the bust line.
Other than being enormous (and gorgeously so), what is also new about this new sets of parts is that Snail Shell has made the chest area out of silicone while maintaining the general low cost jointed body. As much as I appreciate cartoon bust lines, it would have been nice if Snail Shell had increased the things as well, because with the skirts off (it's officially in the manual as a way to enjoy the leg articulation) things just look kind of disappointing.
Speaking of articulation, there's no real surprises here unless you've never owned a Snail Shell. Both feature the same strengths and weaknesses, though the slight edge goes to Saori due to her non-Popeye sized forearms.
Elbows are single jointed instead of double, and the thigh swivel is a bit lower than usual, but other than that it's the same. Functional, and while the skirt really restricts leg movement, it's not like without the skirt it's crazy impressive due to the lack of pull down hips. The hair also gets in the way of articulation of the head, and I wish that at some point, these figures would start getting articulated necks.
Overall, your posing may not be as precise as you'd like due to joint placement and general bulk, but it'll do.
Back to the top, I feel that the heads are also a tad undersized, though I'm not sure if this is a Snail Shell thing or a character design thing, as this is one of the first pieces of Snail Shell merch I have which didn't come with the original character art. Eyes can be rotated like all other Snail Shell releases, leaving Wolf Girl the only with discrete pairs of eyes. Selection of expressions is adequate.
Overall curves of the character are nice, but as I said you'll appreciate them better if you keep the skirt on so at least there's the illusion of thiccness in the hips.
While Shikura only comes with an extra pair of articulated hands, Saori comes with 6 additional hands, some posing, but mostly for holding her spear... which isn't really secured that nicely in either the angle or straight grip. The tip of the spear can open up and the things o the side can be rotated.
Both figures come with an Earth based base, with Shikura's coming apart so you can replicate her smashing the ground to bits with pieces floating in the air (with the help of stands, of course) whereas Saori's has some flame effects you can connect for a fancy looking base. Both come with a fireball effect though it's probably more useful for Shikura if I'm being honest.
Paint is again, pretty typical Snail Shell - decent but you won't have to look too hard to find flaws. Build though, man.... of the two Shikura is definitely the better built of the two as theres less to screw up. The issue with Saoir is, for whatever reason, they didt give the section of arm connecting the sleeve and the wrist the ability to twist or move, as it is just glued in place. As you can imagine, putting the hands on the figure can eventually cause this part to rip off, requiring regluing (hint hint).
So yeah, both are great to look at, and if you're looking strictly at character designs they're both pretty good. But from a play perspective, if you don't want to get frustrated with annoying to put on parts and general fragility, Shikura is definitely the way to go. Fewer parts to break, and the articulated hands are fun to play with. Also, no stupid weapon that her hands can't hold.
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference
From "Road not taken" by Robert Frost............

We were less than 36 hours from the annual winter solstice (10:52pm Dec 22, 2023), and the days are now at their shortest. Although the sky is bright and nearly cloudless, the sun is low in the sky with the result of intense shadows and brilliant highlights. Normally these conditions would be a photographer’s nightmare, but they can also provide a unique challenge and provide an opportunity for some very unusual and dramatic photography.
And so with a clear sky and low December temperatures, I walked through some familiar territory, but with the unusual effects of a low sun and the intense light and shadows, it turned into a photographer’s dream world.
Locking opponents in their corner is far less important here than in Blokus, but it is possible. And if you start a game like Red did here, you may never see a second turn on The Stairs.

Huana Creek the next day. The water level has dropped at least 6-7 feet, which I found a bit surprising. Compare to www.flickr.com/photos/texasrobo/4420829725/
