Unfortunately I haven't actually played Dwarf Fortress. But now I want a Ymir skin for Minecraft (anyone know of one?).
Got Revoltech Queen's Blade Ymir in the same shipment as Revoltech Iron Man, procured from Amiami. I had been quite eagerly awaiting her, because awesome angry loli/dwarf, and I think everything has gone as well as expected. So, let's get star-
VERY DANGEROUS OVER SHORT DISTANCES
Okay, I think that's out of my system.
First impression of Ymir out of the box is that wait a minute something is not right here! For a dwarf, Ymir sure is not very dwarf-like. While most of the other QB Revos are kinda maybe in scale with each other, Ymir quite obviously throws that aside. Of course, after the issues involving the other loli-type character, Aldra, I'm not too surprised Kaiyodo decided to do this. I can't help but agree with them, too. I'd rather have Ymir be an oversized, but good figure instead of smaller and being a pile of crap.
Odd sizes aside, Ymir still looks pretty good. Her paint job is a tad messy in some places, mostly of the "not quite inside the lines" variety so it's not glaring.
Wonderfully, Kaiyodo managed to actually improve the joints being used. Ymir has the smaller Revolver joints in use on her neck, shoulders, right wrist, left elbow, hips, and ankles. Unlike the older QB's and most other older Revoltechs, the smaller joints actually aren't crappy! Not only are they not floppy on Ymir, but the ratcheting aspect seems to have been lessened for smoother movement.
HEY GUESS WHO CAN HOLD HER OVERSIZED WEAPON UP? HINT: NOT ALDRA.
Yeah, I'll gladly take a bigger Ymir in order to not have the tiny wrist joints being used for elbows. Also, Ymir's axe is actually surprisingly light-weight, despite the size.
All of the accessories. Four faces total, two left hands, her axe, "M-mode" clothing, and the standard Revochip, Revocontainer, and stand. The stand, unsurprisingly, is still crappy, but I've managed to do most of my posing of Ymir without it. She seems a bit lacking in the hands, but at least she doesn't need any optional right hands.
That being because each finger of her gauntlet has its own joint at the base. Each finger appears to be a unique sculpt, too. This is easily one of the best features about this Ymir, as the gauntlet works very well indeed. That little hole there is for Ymir's axe, which has a matching peg to stick in there to help her hold the axe securely.
Each of her six hair drills is also on their own joints. Because of the shape of the drills, and how close they are to each other, you can't really get all six drills to be going down at the same time. Ymir's hair has to be messed with for a few moments when posing because of this, but it's not something I found to be an issue.
On to those faces! I guess this is the main M-mode face, or something. It's either a "how silly of me, tee hee!" expression or an orgasm face. It's strangely similar to one of Figma Billy Herrington's faces...
Next face is the taking damage/"don't get it in my eye!" face.
And then what is supposed to be the angry face. Thanks to the hair, it ends up looking less angry and more smug or something. But that doesn't make it any less awesome.
I'm finding Ymir to really lend herself to macros pretty well.
M-mode torn clothing. Getting it all on and off is about the same level of complexity as the average Queen's Blade figure. Changing out the top and dress frill pieces requires removing the head and the chest. Removing the normal panties requires the legs to be taken off, but the M-mode panties can be put on and off without first taking off the legs.
Because the panties aren't ripped, but just simply untied. Fabulous, low-cut ribbony dwarf panties!
I think I wasn't expecting the whole dress to be able to be cast-offable, so it's pretty neat that it can all come off. Unfortunately, there's slight paint error on my Ymir's DFC, the paint for her tits are slightly off the mark, but not by much to really matter. Better than Elina's unpainted tits, at least.
Splendid dwarf ass!
As we all know, dwarves sure love their ale!
"You humans don't know drunk about getting shit!"
This earth marble is the best under-used prop I have.
This almost worked as good as I hoped it would. Unfortunately Nanael's chest is just a bit too big to squeeze into Ymir's dress.
WE ARE THE FISTER SISTERS!
Confound this infernal machine.
Ymir's head on Yotsuba's body doesn't work all that well.
I'm going to need some more Revoltechs that I can stick this arm on, I think.
At least Ymir will have some protection!
I was thinking that Ymir might end up being one of the better, if not best, Queen's Blade Revoltechs, and in my opinion I think she actually is. She may not have the curves and ease of stripping that Menace has, but damn, they improved a number of things and her fist of doom is a lot of fun. I am quite pleased with my angry dwarf princess!
Now just to get back to work on Revoltech Iron Man. And Composite Haruhi, eventually. Next time I have multiple packages shipping in the same time frame, I'm alternating shipping methods so I don't get them all at once.
