Shell Eco-marathon Asia - the Urban Concept class. Over several days, teams make as many attempts as possible to travel the furthest on the equivalent of one litre of fuel. Cars drive a fixed number of laps around the circuit at a set speed. Organisers calculate their energy efficiency and name a winner in each class and for each energy source. (photo by Ben Cho)

These AK47 shell casings were collected at crime scenes in Tijuana. The shell and bullet on the left came from an incident where a policeman was murdered. Those on the right involved the death of a drug dealer.

Still not a lot out at Shell Creek, basically goldfields with filaree, tiny lupines,cryptantha. And a few Blue Eyes!
The Snail Shell Assassin figure recently released, and I got mine in a few days ago. Like Figma, Snail Shell has a very competent body that they tweak and provide for use in developing figures for the assortment of interesting character designs.
So I don't know the official names or anything, but this figure basically has two forms - some strange hybrid cybernetic animal form, and of course, the expected Waifu in skintight jumpsuit form.
It's an interesting design aesthetic, though for an assassin she seems awfully under armed, featuring a knife and a Grapnel Gun. The sheath for the knife and the harness for the Grapnel Gun plug directly into her lower spine. The interesting thing is that the hands are only meant to hold the knife - the Grapnel Gun is directly deployed from her harness... or that's what I think, as there's no real instructons.
Grapnel Gun comes with a coiled wire as well as three different tips, one for use when the tip has not been fired, and two actual projectiles to use with the wire.
Assassin is a return to average height for one of their figures, as Milk T Girl was just really short, though to be fair she was also really cheap to buy.
The cyborg mode head features multiple joints for articulation in the neck, covered with a fabric piece to hid the joints. There's also a joint at the base of the head, so overall this giraffe necked sculpt is actually very articulated. Compared to the normal head, which features effectively no neck articulation and limited head tilt, this feels somewhat like a step back.
Articulation has generally not been an issue with Snail Shell figures, and this is no different. mainly lacking a waist and butterfly shoulder joints. I've never removed the legs of any of the other figures (but this one I have to in order to swap out the groin pieces, and I notied the the hip design actually features some robust designs to allow for increased range of let motion without relying on a pull down hip design. The tail is actually articulated, tough the connection looks so fragile I'm afraid to actually manipulate the piece too much.
As always, use of the base will increase your posing options, and the base has cavities for you to store you spare pieces.
The two face plates are functional, and I can only presume they look like the source art. I can say, however, they're solid in terms of looking anime in nature, though again I wonder if this is simply because art direction insisted. There seems to be more rouge around the eyes on the finished product compared to the prototypes, and this shows up on the photos.
Otherwise, Paint and Build wise, pretty much on par with other Snail Shell items. in case you weren't aware, that is basically Storm Collectibles level of quality that should be coming out from these sets. Some questionable design choices as i've outlined above, but overall the figure certainly holds together than product from other companies.
A brief hiatus from the kind of architecture I usually post. The sunset last night was unusual for our part of Germany and my outing with the dog turned out to take a little bit longer than planned. But the light changed so dramatically over the course of 45 minutes, every time I decided enough was enough, I had to try another exposure and another.......
Be patient with me, I may have to post more than one.
Shell Creek Road is famous in this county for its display of flowers in the spring. This year is no exception, but it is probably a little early for the best show (yet to come).
