![]() ![]() She grew up into becoming such a wonderful woman, and it really puts to shame a lot of the female characters in GE that came after her, even if we only compare their stories to GE1 Alisa and forget about GEB and beyond Tbh I feel incredibly proud knowing that the girl who I considered a rival in GE1 achieved whatever she did by the time GEReO happened. She's the very first girl who opened me up to why dishonest and tsundere characters can be great and what they potentially stand for, and is the first of my long line of "red color-themed waifus".Īnd her character appearances in GE2RB? You have no fucking idea how much of a difference and change Alisa has gone through in GE1, and what she does in GE2RB goes even farther than what she had already achieved in GE1, and then if we talk non-mainline games, what she achieved in GE Resonant Ops (rip GEReO, service went under) goes even more beyond. While her design is basically a honey pot and her initial attitude really screams "I'm hateable", she's just a very good partner/rival as a fellow New Type in GE1. That said, these are issues that you have to look quite closely to find.Alisa is a sleeper. There’s also a few spots where dust or lint appear to have got stuck in the paint. Mine also has a black line on one of Alisa’s hands, which luckily isn’t too noticable due to its placement, but bears mentioning. I’ve noticed the black and gold paint straying from the lines on her shirt, as well as flecks of it that have wound up in the wrong place entirely. Again, many of these have improved since the original release, but there are still minor issues with the paint-work. There’s an obvious seam across the top of the head, too, although this is a common issue among figurines, and it’s mostly hidden by her beret anyway.įrom a manufacturing standpoint, the figurine has a few noticeable flaws. Her hair is well sculpted with a dynamic flowing look, but there are a few spots that are blobby, particularly at the tips. Still, it doesn’t look too bad with the right lighting, and the addition of a subtle pink lip gloss and the effort taken to put her eyes in the right place are appreciable improvements over the original. Her face just isn’t quite right it’s as if her features are too spread out, and her cheeks are a bit chubby too. This is where Alisa falls down a little bit, although there is an obvious improvement here over the 2014 edition. Make sure not to force it – once you loosen the gap up a bit and find the right angle, the piece should squeeze comfortably into place.īefore I come off as a massive pervert, I should speak about her face. For best results, ignore the instructions and attach the support to the gun before you put it on the stand. But don’t be put off – it’s definitely made to fit underneath it. The catch is that the fit is quite snug, and initial attempts to push it into place did cause some frightening cracking noises. ![]() The trick is that the support is designed to slide up underneath part of the God Arc, which will hold it in place. From what I’ve seen, a number of owners of this figurine balance the gun as best they can against the support, but this puts it at risk of toppling over from the slightest nudge. The difficult part is the God Arc – specifically, fitting the God Arc onto it’s support. The support arm slots in beneath this red part. Even Alisa’s beret is very easy to fit into place, thanks to the inclusion of magnets which will hold it in the right spot on her head. Most of the pieces will fit into place without trouble – Alisa’s foot pegs fit snugly into the stand, as does the God Arc’s support strut once you line it up properly. The provided instructions are obviously Japanese, and the small black-and-white illustrations aren’t clear enough to be very helpful. What little assembly there is, though, can be tricky. You should also find the figurine’s stand, a clear support arm for the God Arc, and Alisa’s beret in the box, as well as assembly instructions. There’s plenty of protective plastic to remove though, including a layer beneath Alisa’s cast-off skirt, and the God Arc is braced by a length of bubble-wrap. Inside the box, the figurine arrives without much assembly needed – Alisa and the God Arc are each a single piece, ready to go. So far as I can tell, the box hasn’t changed much since the original release. The box feels sturdy and secure, and it’s easy to get into as well. Alisa arrives in a box just under 13″ tall, which makes it pretty big. It’s worth considering, since the large box and extra weight of the God Arc are likely to bump up her shipping costs. ![]()
