Creature Gillealla (Resurrection of Monstress) Review

Creature Gillealla
Resurrection of Monstress (Yellow Submarine)I'm a sucker for the Gillman. Fish people in general, really. And one thing I don't see very often, at least in plastic form, is female fish folk. So Gillie here was an easy decision. But does she stack up?
In a word, mostly. Once you get past the idea that you're basically buying a sexy monster girl statue, it goes down easier. The whole line has a 3-joint standard, neck and shoulders. This one bucks the trend with ankle hinges, which allow for standing or floating poses, but also muck up an otherwise killer sculpt.
The real draw, as is typical of this line, is the sheer volume of accessories, allowing for lots of display options. She can (sort of) hold her knife or wear it, the skeleton fish can be tucked into various gaps, the breathing apparatus looks good on her (not making much sense on a base that's clearly meant to be underwater), the treasure chest neatly hides whatever you're not using.
As an action figure, it's awfully light on action, and frankly, I'm a bit weirded out by the fishy limbs on a very human torso. But this is an art piece first and foremost, and in that regard, it succeeds.
