Alexia

Sometimes a toy line comes out based on a movie property that is just plain scary.  Palisades Toys Resident Evil CODE: Alexia is one such toy line.  

Four figures came in the set.  I’ll be reviewing Alexia Ashford, the daughter of the original recipient of the T-Virus.

Starting with the packaging. This is a clever piece of plastic packaging.

The figure and accessories are encased in a plastic cocoon and covered by extruded piece of plastic with a small side panel displaying the other figures in the set with the enclosed figure panel printed darker and more predominant.

Behind the small panel is the tailpiece that can be attached to the figure.

Along the top are the large words “RESIDENT EVIL” printed in red.

On the lowered right corner is a Alexia name tag.  

The back of the hanging bubble pack is a photo of the mutated Alexia Ashford, along with small spot photos of the other Series 2 figures in the set.  A brief description about Alexia is also provided.

The Alexia figure is just over 6-inches tall.  Her skin is primarily light.   gray/green.  The figure is nude with its more private parts covered by green plant matter of vine and foliage.  The foliage covers her right shoulder, arm and hand and most of her hip area and left leg and foot.

Coloration is striated in black, deep green and green.

Her face is almost entirely covered by her plant hair that hangs in clumps.  Only her yellow eye and green lips show.

An additional pop-on head is included that has long hair that which is swept up away from her face.  The right side of her face is plant matter.  Her remaining face peeks through.

Also included with the figure are two large wings of brown and green that look similar to dragonfly wings.  They attach to her back by two pop-in balls.  The support structure of the wings are plant matter, with thorns-that also cover part of her body, and the wings themselves are thin brown tree bark.

A long serpentine tail of plant matter in gray, green and brown can be attached to her lower back.  It is segmented as if prehensile.

A Resident Evil stand is included with dull red letters against a red/brown brick background.

The figure is articulated with swivel, ball and socket and hinge articulation points.

Color separation is clean with no rough edges and distinct areas easily identified.

The sculpting of the figure is of high quality and is hihgly creative and cleverly articulated with movement points hidden by bodylines and textures.

It is an extremely impressive figure which is well done and designed.
