This purchase is very unlike me. Although I definitely am known to dabble in anime, I rarely buy product product tied to the movies or shows (unless they are super classic/retro). But something about the Netflix original anime series, Eden, really captured my attention. So when I saw Super7 was releasing a line of Target-Exclusive products for the show, I knew I would at least have to pick up the main character, Sara. If you haven't seen Eden, I would definitely suggest it. It's only four short 25 minute episodes. I find the show especially intriguing because I can't tell who the intended audience is. It could easily be for kids, but it also deals with pretty dark themes.. flaws of humanity, apocalypse, greed, etc. It reminds me of a mashup of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind and The Matrix with a somehow family-friendly vibe. I don't know if there will be a season two or not, but either way I think the cast of this futuristic world is pretty finite and these are likely the only toys we will see. Let's check out Sara below!
According to the promotional materials for this figure, Sara should have five points of articulation. I took these photos in November (before I moved house) and I haven't unpacked her yet, so I can't reference her in person. But I can definitely see waist and shoulder cuts. I'm thinking the last two may be boot or glove swivels, but I can't tell for sure from my photos and memory.
Here is the entire lineup of Eden product from Super7. Eventually I will add the 6" E92 and A37 figures to my collection (voiced by Rosario Dawson and David Tennant!)
Time for a Comparison Pic!
Cheers!
Very cool. Show looks neat as well. Will have to check it out.
ReplyDeleteYeah, this seems like something my wife and I could watch with my daughter. She's 8 and probably would love it.
