The art for this figure is by the popular Chinese artist wlop. They have had several statues of their work made, especially for the characters of their series Ghostblade. I did read some of the Ghostblade series, but didn’t really gel with it.

There are two versions of this figure – one with tattoos and a special edition with none. The tattoos are half the reason I ordered it so didn’t want the special edition. For Chinese buyers, the tattooless edition was only available to people who had previously purchased Light Year Studio statues, but international distributors just had her up as a normal preorder. Both editions were the same price at CN¥3,280. I ordered through an international distributor and the total cost including surface shipping was US$540. So not a cheap lass, but she is 1/4 scale.

This figure came in two flavours – Memory Entanglement and Forgotten Festival. The second one had an Egyptian theme, but I preferred the straight-up tape-themed one, so that’s one I went for. I pre-ordered via the WeArtDoing Taobao store, and this figure cost CN¥1,180 plus CN¥13 local delivery. Shipping from China to UK was CN¥235. Which brings us to a total cost of CN¥1,428.

The front of the box features the artwork for the figure. “Sleeping Beauty” is one of WeArtDoing’s figure lines, but this one seems to be wide awake. We also have what feels like “decorative text” phrases. The artwork is nice, but does feel somewhat bland with the font choices and amount of negative space. It’s not a bad box, but not one that stands out to me.
