Review by Animaven

We’re not the only one excited to see her! Blue Rose is just as psyched.

Here she is in her casing, with all of her accessories present. She’s got three faces, with the cute little headband around her forehead (which isn’t visible behind her bangs. She has a boatload of arms, some food, and her dragon staff. Her stand and phrases are tucked back behind the plastic casing, out of sight.

Here she is out of the case as she arrives - just the girl and the her stand. These pictures are a little yellow-y, but everything about her is a little yellow-y. The tint on the pictures is not as heavy as you’d think.

You can see her sponsor logos on her giant plate thingies in her hair. She comes with tassels for those. Let’s get a closer look at the plates.

I got one of the tassels attached, but the second one broke off almost immediately.

It just crumbles away in my hands. It was very disappointing.

Here’s one side with the tassel, and one without. dragon kid chibi arts bandai tiger & Bunny

Let’s get some closer looks at the figure.

This side shot has the broken tassel pieces in it.

Time to play with the extra parts!

Here’s Dragon Kid with her dragon staff:

She has a special hand to hold it. You just pop off the bottom dragon head, slide the staff into her hand and re-attach. Easy as pie. She also has a surprised face on.

And where would she be without her tasty accessories? I’ve also given her the happy face, which is her cutest, in my opinion.

You can see the seam on the left bun.

And now a word from our sponsor…

Blue Rose gets in on the action. After all, tasty snacks need a Pepsi!

Dragon Kid comes with four phrases:

Overall, adorable - especially if you dig the color yellow. Dragon Kid and her lightning powers make an awesome addition to the Hero team, and I’m happy to have her. A little super glue and that whole tassel problem will clear up. Otherwise, she has a clean sculpt and paint, she has a lot of accessories and was fun to play with! And while I do like the cute face best, it was a close race - which means I’ll probably change her out from time to time, making a well-rounded set of faces and accessories. She is absolutely a win.
