Storm Collectibles Jun (Princess) from Gatchaman (Battle of the Planets)

 I was so happy to see that Storm Collectibles were making Gathchman figures, but am really disappointed that they have not announced any more of the team since Jun. This seems like the usual trend with any company that make these figures, where only a couple are made and the rest of the team abandoned.

Putting that aside though, the figure that Storm have released is pretty awesome. There is a flaw in mine though, that annoys me no end especially when their customer service simply do not respond to help in any way. But I go through that in my video review below and in my thoughts further down.

The box art is pretty nice, and much wider than Ken's box. But everything fits fairly neatly (until I found my flaw).

When I unboxed and took out the contents, the base head sculpt had a broken antenna at the back of the helmet. This is because it was placed in the clamshell in a way where it was crushed against the back of the clamshell instead of being placed in there properly.

Despite me trying to contact Storm to ask for a replacement via several different means, they simply never responded and never sent a replacement. There were mentions informally that support would be coming, but I never heard anything. So it continues to be a massive disappointment with a company that makes such great figures, but cannot seem to organise any semblance of decent customer service.

Once setup next to Ken though, she does look fantastic. The paint app is really nice, and complements the cartoon aesthetic perfectly. The main issue with the helmet is the visor, which distorts her face significantly. This didnt happen to Ken, so it's a shame the plastic and molding shape they used for Jun causes this distortion.

It's great that they learnt from the first release, and gave her a slightly more dynamic cape pose that's an intermediate cape between fully stoic and flying dynamism. This slightly flowing cape is really nice and just what Ken needed too. The red paint on the inside still rubs off on the shoulders though, so be very careful there.

Her articulation is pretty great, and is assisted with swap out skirts that give her additional range of motion. I won't bother using her weapon accessories, but it's nice to know they are there for any photo opportunities, or for you much better posers out there.

I really do hope Storm haven't given up on the team, and make a new announcement soon. If not, the disappointment continues in finding a company that can manage to complete the whole team!
