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.
Last night (Tuesday 9th June) BBC TV's "The ONE show" had a 5minute insert on this rare Bee filmed @ same site as my photo on the Cerne Abbas Giant hill in Dorset. Possibly even the same nest, as I said on my June 2nd post, I was shown the nest by 2 naturalists who I believe had been there 2 days filming/photographing the complete cycle of the nest building. In the film available on BBC 1 (One) I-player (Tuesday 9th June 8pmGMT not 7pmBST as shown on TV) for a month I believe. A full explanation of the stages the Bee does to make it's nest in the snail shell & cover it up with thatch. Amazing to watch & far better than my little photo, see it if you can. Film starts 19 minutes into programme & lasts about 5 minutes

Finally found a use for some of the empty snail shells that I have found down the back.
No snails were killed to obtain the shells :-)

Snail Shell charm to bring fruit bearing prosperity to a fruit tree on Koh Trong (Trong Island) in the Mekong River - Cambodia
As I came out of the dentist I picked up this this empty snail shell from the path; looked as though its inhabitant had been long gone.
I found these snail shells outside my office building last week and brought them home, I was a happy girl...

Second shot from snail-shails-serie. Found them with my son on a walk...
Wish all of you a great start into the new week :-)
