No doubt that this Castlevania figure may be considered the favorite among collectors of this particular series: the sculpt is near flawless and a great visual addition to any collection that is on display. The only surprise I got when viewing the product in my home for the first time was that the figure's skin tone looks a lot paler than it does in the image above. And perhaps the hair is less red on the actual figure than in the packaging images. Could just be the lighting during photographing of the figure... Anyway, the figure still looks amazing just as it is- get it! DO NOT PAY more than twenty bucks for this however! I waited until the price was about fifteen - I've noticed that at times this figure can be offered for more than sixty dollars! The price will eventually go back down, keep checking. Just be patient- it is worth it!

I was really anticipating this fig. after I ordered it. The production image looked awesome, but I have to say I'm a bit disappointed with the final product. First, the head is not the same as the one in the image... It's features aren't as realistic, but it's not bad. The most disappointing thing though, is the paint job. Like the first reviewer mentioned, her skin tone is very pale. Her face & hands are somewhat flesh tone, but the rest of her is paper white... The lace on her arms looks pretty muddy (they look more like scales) too and the vains in her wings aren't painted black. I was also disappointed that she wasn't toppless like the original sculpt was (saw pics of it online, plus she's toppless in the original Japanese character artwork of her), but wasn't supprised. On the positive side, she's a good sculpt (sans the slightly less realistic looking face) and the little Igor dude that comes with her has a really good paint job. Too bad she doesn't...

I know how everyone said the skin color is too pale as compared to the box art. My figure actually got the "best" of the two worlds... the face skin was darker than the body skin. lol This is because they painted the two parts at different times by different staffs.

But for $12.99 (this is how much I got mine for), I used this as a garage kit and did a repaint. THE BRA COMES OFF and you can display her topless, nipples and all. The wings are actually CLEAR plastic. Display her in front of lights and she looks amazing.

Great quality, besides the paint job.

Just received my copy of the Castlevania Succubus figure. Boy, I'd say the actual paint job on her is so much different then the box art, it's a farce. The face is a simply 2 strokes of heavy eyeliners and not much else. Also the sculpt of the head is decent, it just a big let down compare with Todd McFarlane action figures' finishes. Also the flesh tone is somewhat different in color than the head. The hair also looks very different in sculpt than the box sample figure. All in all it's a nice figure, just don't look at it too close....!

I am not sure where the idea that this toy looks "Bad***!!!!" comes from. I am a long time (and quite serious) figurine collector, and to be honest... this is not the figure you've been looking for. Stick with McFarlane or any number of the Japanese toys, not only to they look better, but the price is about the same.

As for this thing, she looks silly, the expression on her face makes it look as though she has some slight mental malady. The figuring is (from what I could tell, I am not putting this one up with my others to drag their aesthetic qualities down)not open to much manipulation, the hair is obviously put together from "chunks" during assembly, which creates a terrible appearance. Her body is fine, though, for a succubus she is missing some slutiness.
Again, there are SO MANY great figurines within this price range made by Revoltech or similar... I would get those instead. Just be careful who you order them from on here, as Amazon doesn't regulate the shipping gouge that is so popular among sellers now. And some of the companies that sell the figures on here will charge you 8$'s for shipping... and your package with arrive post 2 weeks.
