Seems like a lot of amazing looking figures are going up for pre-order during my holiday break from work, and while I've managed to avoid pre-ordering ALL of them, Vertex has come and put my 2020 budget into a bit of a deficit already with the latest entry in their Elf Village series of original character figures.
Priscilla, the 4th character in the series, is an extremely thicc traveling priestess with a body that would make even Super Sonico feel jealous. It didn't take long looking at the product images to cement my pre-order. All I needed to decide was weather or not I would get Antenna Shop Limited edition on Amiami or take advantage of the new year points promotion on TOM for the regular edition. Before I get into that, let's take a closer look at her.
Looking at her from a few sides it looks like she'll have a good range of possible display angles depending on what you want to see on your shelf. Her improbably large bust and rear and are just barely covered by a few strips of cloth, which based on the images and also the previous elf village figures will all be removable.
The paint and sculpting on the blue fabric covering her tummy looks really nice. I love the transparent effect there that makes it look like it's clinging to her skin. I also really appreciate the little fang sticking out from the corner of her teeth. They've really managed to create a fun expression on this model.
It looks like quite a lot of her outfit will be removable, and at least some of it will be possible without exposing her breasts, which depending on how you keep your displays is a nice touch. I can see myself just keeping her chest covered but removing everything else, but I'm sure I'll play around with the different options. They tease those with some shots here, and I really hope that this time it's just to get people amped up to pre-order the figure and not to cover up the frankly disappointing and weird nipples on the 1st figure in the series. I'll go back and cover that figure on the site eventually, as it's one of my favorites, but it wasn't perfect.
The Antenna Shop Limited edition comes with interchangeable face, bangs, and feet. I really like the bare feet and blunt bangs parts, but am less crazy about the facial expression and the grass base since I skipped the base on the 1st figure and don't think the parts are altogether worth the markup. She's already pretty expensive at 17,700 JPY after discounts, but 24,200 JPY for the limited version is just too much for me. I wound up ordering her on TOM because of the 30x points promotion, existing points allowing me to reduce the price to around $150 for free shipping, and the fact that she'll ship directly from Japan on time and not be subject to the normal TOM shipping delay. If you're thinking about getting her and haven't tried shopping with TOM before, this is one of those times where I think it's worth it. Please consider using my referral link and helping me out, too!
She's out in June 2020!
