Triad Toys ~ Guns For Hire : Lola




From Triad Toys website and description on the box,
"Since 1994, the United States leads the privatization of the military with over $300 billion in defense contracts. One of those private military organizations that prospered during the Gulf Wars were a small defense company called Gunn Industries. Today, Gunn Industries has become the biggest military weapons and equipment manufacturer in the world and houses the best private military contractors the world has come to known. But at Gunn Industries, there are secrets that are better left untold. . ."
Lola: Expeditious Demise Facilitator (EDF)
Joining the Gunn Agency at an early age, Lola has quickly moved through the ranks to become one of the industry’s most esteemed operators. Her ever-changing appearance makes her hard to track and her skills as an EDF guarantees her the biggest pay days. But Lola’s looks can be deceiving since her dress code is a tactical ploy against her targets. . .

Ordered from BBTS, this buxom figure comes with Otaku 1.0 Caucasian Skintone body in a rather controversial attire ~ high knee shiny PVC platform boots, plaid ultra mini skirt with sewn in black panties, a pair of white high knee socks, short hip tie white shirt and a black brassiere which barely cover her,ahem.. well endowed parts. School girl/street walker disguise targeted at dirty old men? Lola is armed with 2 ATAC Submachine guns with separate ammo clips, loose bullets with one dual SMG leather gun holster. The leather is a real let down, like what I had experienced with Midori Washio's gun strap; it seems to be going apart. Also with a backpack with real functional zipper, pouches, a cuddly Teddy Bear and my personal favourite, a customised bomb with a matchstick to blow some m!*#^%$$#%% skyhigh.
The figure is real heavy, heavier than some 12" I have thus far. It has the solid feel throughout. To change and to slot in the extra pair of hands are very tedious. I also have some problem trying to create the nice knot they done for its promotional pictures on their website. The Lola headsculpt with rooted pig tails tend to get bits of strands popping up here and there, making her looking kinda messy. Maybe I should give it some gel to straighten it out...
