I hope it is the same mould... just slight difference in paint/decal application... will get my Chacha & Sheva soon...

Sheva's Mini-Review primarily on the new arms......

The instruction sheet. In English and Japanese (behind)


Comments/Points [compared to the older HotAngel (Machiko/ERT/SF arms/body)]
1) Two point elbow articulation reduced to 1 that allows 100 degrees (Picture A), no big lost, most human can go to around 130 at most.
2) (Picture C) actually the arms can raise beyond 90 degrees, but you may put a bit of stress in the rubber covering the shoulders. The rubber covering is the thing that impedes it arms from going higher, push too hard you might tear it.
3) I believe there is a lost of the mid-upper arm break (between shoulder & elbow), that allows the arms to twist outward and inward (Related to Warning pic 2nd from left and [4] below)
4) Improved shoulder ball joint that allows more free shoulder movement but opens some gaps on the shoulder holes of the rubber body. The arms twist at 45 degrees (as stated) is solely based on the ball socket attached to the body (unless someone can proof otherwise). Maybe restoring say 50 degrees twist to mid-upper arm break (as in [3]) would not be too stressful on the rubber arms.
5) The rubber body mould appears to be the same as other HotAngel bodies.... (no thinner rubber at neck and such)

springs can be easily replaced, modelling parts from Japan sold by HLJ for-instance.. with 0.5mm, 1mm, 1.5mm and such diameter...

You might want to insert a wire within the spring to prevent/minimise the the spring from being overstretched...

Wesker's light up head...

Chacha Asai's body review (compared to Hot Angel body)

The red arrow points to the big difference from inner workings of the Hot Angel body (apart different rubber outer layer)... Double ended ball socket is being used here, this allows the body much greater range of movement than the Hot Angel body.

-No plastic inserts to the breast portion of the rubber torso. Could be the same rubber torso of HT's first females (Ripley etc)

-Bending the body to the extreme do distort the outer rubber body.

-Grease is applied to the ball sockets of the shoulders and thorax/abdomen joints.

-The more segmented inner body leaves more empty space within the rubber torso, the body may appear slightly slimmer.

-Chacha's multi-layered dress tightly bound across her waist inhibits the potential of wider articulation offered by the body. Empty space within the body (compared to Hot Angel) allows the waist to be squeezed/compressed smaller.

Akira figure sold separately... about half the cost of the bike...

Seriously/To be fair... these springs are easily replaceable... Predator(s) and Endo(s) from HT have using them.. I bought dozen or so variable sizes from HLJ for personal projects... and it maybe of higher quality than the ones HT uses... In fact, these spring maybe the easiest & cheapest of the HT's figures' parts to replace.

Clothing..

2 overall pieces, material felt like cotton for the inner dress, for the outer dress the gold pattern seems woven-in, wire-inserts in the 3 layer of the shoulder "petal-like-thingy". Both dresses are quite complex, quite difficult to arrange the folds and such..I think it will be difficult to fit the dress to any other female figure. Its a tight fit on Chacha's small bust body


Head (sculpt)......
Done by the Japanese talent who sculpted Silken Floss' head, but the face sculpt does not quite capture the Japanese actress in the movie, Her entire hair-piece is of thin PVC-like material, underneath her hair is actually hollow (you can squeeze the bulge of her head/hair-piece in)

E-bay pic...

3 Goemon figures... 1 coming Kamui Gaiden... Though the Goemon(s) do not come with conventional katana(s), but if you buy Japanese PVC figures plenty of katana(s) around. I have more than a dozen or so all manner of swords.. 1/6 scale or similiar..

b.t.w. "the Boss" reached XL....
