Character Introduction

Menace is a character from the Queen’s Blade series of “Visual Combat Book” (gamebook). Her book was released on September 2006. Here’s the information about her background, published at Queen’s Blade Official Homepage [link]:

Menace is the Princess of the Amara Kingdom that was destroyed many thousands of years ago. She was supposed to become the Queen, but her kingdom was betrayed by its senior statesmen and fell into ruins, subjugated by an enemy country. History says that Princess Menace shared the same fate of her crumbling palace. And at the present time, the “Marshland Witch” who plans to conquer the Continent, using great powers was able to resurrect Menace to lead her army. However, Menace being of royal birth and unable to take orders from others, ran away. During her travels, she was encouraged by a suspicious merchant to participate in Queen’s Blade to become the new Queen. To restore Amara Kingdom! But not only she’s naive and inexperienced in the ways of the world, there’s also a culture gap that envelops her into a mysterious atmosphere. Despite her well-bred personality, she an user of murderous hand-to-hand fighting techniques passed down through the royal family. Her fist surrounded by the cursed aura can drain the life of her opponents with a touch.

The weapon with a cat head she holds is a treasure, the living royal scepter Setra. Setra who likes to talk and play pranks, is Menace’s partner and a friend on equal terms.

Review

For a bit more of information on the Chouzou Queen’s Blade Collection Figure Vol.2, take a look at my previous review about Echidna [link]. From the second box I opened, I got the regular color version of Menace! Like all trading figures of this series, it comes disassembled and in small plastic bags.

Menace’s head came in a small plastic blister.

Even though Menace has little clothing, the sculpture of this trading figure is far from being minimalistic. The base emulating a cursed aura and her loincloth are translucent. The sharp details on the crown and the jewels over her body can put any bigger scaled figure to shame.

The painting is surprisingly well done with great colors, carefully painted even in the fingernails polish. The skin is shaded giving it a more natural feel.

Menace’s pose accentuates her body curves and is very sexy overall. Unlike the other figures of this series, it doesn’t look like she’s taking damage.

Even Setra is nicely done!

Even though some seams are visible and one flaw or another can be detected on closer inspection, for its small price, Menace fans can’t get disappointed with this figure from Medicos Entertainment.

Now I need to get Tomoe! And maybe find out what the secret figure of this volume is about!

Cya!
