Spotted Online – The Five Element 12-Inch Action Figure
If there’s one thing that 12-inch scale action figure manufacturers know how to do, it’s find inspiration in Hollywood. Example? How about this The Five Element action figure that’s obviously straight out of The Fifth Element*. Not exactly a piece I want, but I am sure there are fans of the film out there who will want a quick peek at this new action figure. The face isn’t quite right, and I think the costume is too baggy in places, but it’s generally okay work.
Loosely based on the ‘Leeloo’ character in the 1997 hit movie ‘The Fifth Element’, this Wild Works female action figure comes dressed in a half T, gold colored tights, buckle and lace-up boots , black belt and a chic orange harness. The accessories include provocative ‘lingerie straps’ and a hand gun.
I love this idea, but the execution in weak. The face is a joke, and the costume only passingly resembles the film. Too bad.
