Stars Toys Studio - 1:12 Nine Tailed Fox Action Figure - League of Legends - LOL - Ahri

The other day while I was doing my regular Facebook browsing - I bump into this chinese page wherein a Figma-like promotional pictures of LOL Ahri was posted. Since the design was similar to Figma and I remembered a few years back Figma released Yasuo - I thought this was a Figma. And a few days later, I saw a friend posted orders for this Ahri - well honestly, I am not a LOL player at all - I am a DOTA2 player though. But I always liked how Ahri was designed (as well as Jynx and Katarina) so I had to ask my friend if I could still get one. And just my luck, he was able to get me one for the last minute! Thanks man!

Packaging:

As you can see, the packaging looks like a combination of a package of a 1/12 PVC Statue and a Standard Figma. Content of the package are already visible. If you can notice, Stars Toys didn't include any copyrighted name such as League of Legends, Ahri or LOL - has something to do about copyright infringement I guess - but whats the point? We all know it was Ahri anyway.

Right side shows a picture of Ahri...

...and thus the left side as well.

The back of the package shows different poses that you can do with the figure. The thing though it doesnt come with any manual of any sort.

And you can also notice that it bears a similar sticker on packages of Figma. The round sticker that serves as a mark that the item is sealed and it has a logo of Stars Toys too. Moving on...

CONTENT:

So, If you're planning to get one yourself here's a quick checklist for whats inside your package:

1. Ahri Figure - complete with ears hehe

2. 1 Big Orb

3. 1 Small Orb

4. 3 alternate hands (2 Open Hands, 2 Clenched Fists and 1 Open Right Hand to Hold either of the two orbs)

4. Alternate Smirking Face 

5. 2x Similar 3 Tails

6. 1 Big Middle 3 Tails

7. 1 Small Small 3 tails

ARTICULATION:

All joints are similarly same with any SHFiguarts or Figma you see, the concept is the same - both piece connected by a single jointd peg to allow movement. Ahri here by the way has neck swivel, can move her head sideways by 360 rotation, up and down. Shoulder swivel and rotation, elbow swivel and movement, wrist rotation and swivel. Ab Rotation, thigh rotation, leg movement, knee swivel and rotation and ankle movement. the tails though can only move on the point where it is connected.

VERDICT:

Apparently, for a 1/12 figure created by a third party studio this one was quite done well. Apart from the well made design and accuracy it's not as fragile as it would be. I had my fair share of Figma, SHFiguarts knock offs that uses the similar yet cheaper version of PVC materials that breaks easily and sometimes get stuck because of the incompatibility of the paint application.

This one, well slightly wobbly joints but not loose at all making the figure easier to pose.

I recommend getting the figure if you are a LOL, especially an  Ahri Fan or have a huge like on Nine Tailed Fox Characters (No, not Naruto) - hoping to see more from Stars Toys Studio!
