Storm Wind
Aella Blair was born to an English father (who had a background in the S.A.S. and MI-6) and a Japanese mother with an uncertain background (British Intel has developed conflicting reports that Aella's mother was either a descendant of the Red Ninja Clan, or alternatively a simple homemaker instead). Those who have seen Storm Wind in action, are quite confident that the latter option should have been ruled out by intel some time ago. There is no doubt now that she was groomed to be the world's finest assassin. Aella Blair is a natural born, but also well trained killer. There are doubts as to how she might fare in a competition where brute force is often key. Her weapons are modest, at least those that she holds in her hand. A pair of curved blades are usually sufficient for her to make the kill, however. It is her amazing beauty and near hypnotic grace and seductive stylings which actually do the killing for her. If she is close enough to smell her perfume or gaze into her eyes, chances are, you are already dead. Those men (or women) strong enough to survive her advances will find that Storm Wind is much more than a stealthy assassin. She is also remarkably fast, and trained in a wide range of fighting styles which can only be described fairly as "mixed." Her code name derives from her knockout kick, though only the rarest and strongest of her opponents last long enough in the ring to ever see it in action. Fighting Style: Mixed Affiliation: Freelance Specialty: Assassin Weapon Proficiencies: Bladed weapons, weapons of deceit and seduction Storm Wind's elegance is what makes her as a character, and also what drove my creation of her. She is very much inspired by a Bond-girl type look, and specifically by Vesper Lynd. Because her look is mostly civilian, I can essentially use the figure in a wide variety of ways. My favorite part of the figure is that it didn't start out as a figure. She started out as a gashapon statue. No articulation at all, and a torso not even remotely close to an action figure. I glued it together, then cut it apart. Drilled out cavities for joints, added hardware, and a little bit of hot glue and Marvel/SW arms and legs later, I ended up with an evening gown wearing fully 25 A articulated bad ass female. So, watcha think?

Nice. I like it when my female action figures aren't afraid to show a little bit of skin.

I am impressed that this was once a gashapon figure. The reworking of the figure's sculpt to be articulated is seamless. Too bad my fighter is going to ruin her good looks. By the way, my girlfriend loves your fighter.
