This figure comes in four pieces; the main body, the base, the right weapon hand, the left shield hand, and the plastic slotted base. The base is slotted diagonally.

This female is in motion. Her helmed head looks straightforward. Long hair with numerous strands flows out from behind her open-faced helm. Looking at it closely, the figure appears to be an elf with pointed ears and a narrow face. Her armor on shoulders and feet is concealed on the lower body by a massive skirt with the direction of the detail flowing away from her, as if she were running against the wind.

Her weapon arm is stretched forward. She has her hand on the midway point of a massive pole that ends in a chained ball on the bottom and a trident at the top. The trident is four pronged with the center prong split in two and the outer prongs having spikes as the metal merges into the pole. Unfortunately, the tab in the fist is a little too large and will require either trimming or pinning. In addition, the weapon is a bit large for the figure in terms of it’s length. If the warrior-woman is holding the weapon straight ahead, you’ll have to insure that she’s at the edge of the slot because her weapon dips below the slot level. Otherwise the weapon hand will have to be turned.

The left hand, sweeping backwards, clicks in with no problems. The shield is large and has a design that looks almost to be a sword pointed downwards with the hilt being towards the top with a gem in the center and two swirls matching up to the sides of the shield. The figure’s cloak flows a little past the base due to its voluminous effect and swirling.

Because the shield is so large, I’d suggest that you paint it separately from the main body. This will allow you clear access to the body without having to worry about knocking the shield off the elf maiden. In addition, before gluing or pinning the shield arm, make sure you have the position you want as it can fit a few ways on the arm.

In terms of flak and flash, there is one excessive block of metal on the staff under her hand, which is easily clipped and cleaned up with a blade. For mold lines, behind her shield arm, the mould line runs from under her hair down her dress. By putting it in this spot, the sculptor has insured that even if you don’t catch it the first time, it’s not going to be a big deal, as the shield will hide the majority of it. On the opposite side, a little bit of the mold line is visible on her leg, but disappears when it hits the dress.

If you’re looking for a female figure that’s different than that standard female in chain mail armor with a sword and shield, this one has you covered.
