I've always been a sucker for a translucent figure, especially when it's not just a plain crystal clear plastic. In the case of this Legends of Dragonore Wave 1.5 Yondara redeco in her "Prophecy Vision" translucent plastic, her main skin area is indeed a boring clear color, perhaps with a tint of yellow or pink (she looks different in various lighting setups). But to offset that, she is accented with translucent blue hair and accessories and opaque painted clothing in pink and blue. The overall effect is quite stunning, although she suffers from the common translucent toy problem in that her joints become overly pronounced (especially the neck peg which you can now see behind her face). A subtle airbrushing in white or light blue in these areas would go a long way (similar to the MOTUC Goddess figure). This Wave 1.5 set features fun redecos of all the Wave 1 characters. The Build-a-Figure for 1.5 has been replaced by a minicomic finally providing some worldbuilding beyond the cardback bios. Let's check out Yondara below!
Yondara comes with her Chieftan Headdress, torso harness, and her Divination Staff.
Note that the torso harness (on my figure) is a different shade of blue. It is made out of a flexible plastic, where the other pieces are rigid (so I assume they were produced separately). Luckily the color difference isn't very noticeable when she's wearing the harness against her pink fur clothing.
Here is the insert detailing Yondara's construction and swappable parts. Note: although the scale of this line is similar to MOTU Origins, they are unique designs with unique connecting pieces.
Wave 1.5 comes with a Legends of Dragonore minicomic: Fire at Icemere!
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here is Prophecy Vision Yondara with her original release from 2023.
Here are all four Dragonore ladies so far: Yondara, Yondara (Prophecy Visions), Pantera (Night Hunter), and Pantera.
Cheers!
Legends of Dragonore looks like a cool copy of MOTO, it could have been a cartoon
