For a normal person with a normal person bow, sure. For an immortal cyborg using a space magic bow that shoots viruses at crap.... they can probably do what they want.
Yep she's getting an upgrade. Now if they'd move the MSV3 to particular profiles like the spitfire instead of across the board, it might help bring her cost down a bit
At the risk of sounding whiny : Am I really the only that finds that the Asura really has oversized breasts ? I am talking purely in terms of figurine aesthetics. Put aside the inconveinience of this in battle or how it fits the idea of Aspects being made to be likeable. I find it makes her chest disproportionate compared to her shoulderline & waist
I too find her appereance a bit unpleasent. Her Artwork is great, but the mini looks a bit unproportioned. Maybe another color scheme can save this.
I think @gregmurdock is right on the money. The plates being black make her waist seem much thinner, making those bazongas seem re-god-damn-diculous in proportion to the waist and hips in white, not the parts covered in black. They're still pretty large, but I don't think they're overtly visually displeasing from sheer size. The face, on the other hand, is something I'm not partiularly pleased with compared to the artwork lol
After this pre-order period, this box will dissapear. Later this year both miniatures (Asura & Strelok+Antipode) will be released separately, as a regular product of their respective faction.
Aspects are made to be likable and ALEPH WATCHES YOU ON THE MAYANET. They are clearly designing bodies to address what people actually look at instead of what they claim to appreciate when they clutch their pearls in public. If even 40% of the Asura's opponents pause to reflect on disproportionate equipment sizes, that's a sizable advantage in a critical moment.
We get profile previews tomorrow I take it? Also when they looked in the bow video at tokens didn’t it look like there were two TO and a regular camo token?
Atlanta would be displeased if she is shooting at cyborg rabbits. I still hold to my conspiracy theory though that Dart is just Atlanta's Aristeia alter ego. That is why she has to disappear from ASS operation periodically. I have done a lot of figure drawing, i see the Asura's proportions as generous, but within the bounds of believable. I think as other posters have pointed out, the black side panels make her waist appear narrower, and by extension emphasizes her bustiness. The skin tight, (or is it actual 'skin') also serves to draw attention to her proportions.
Any operative that could be 'distracted by the sexy' is unlikely to be promoted to the special ops level of infinity operatives (Thamyris excepted) However that is not to say, that Aleph may be considering the possibility that no matter the precautions, video or images of clandestine operations may be leaked to the general public, and humans are simple enough to be more sympathetic to attractive protagonists. This could be nothing more than a subtle, and somewhat cynical, PR move.
Men are always "distracted by the sexy," we're programmed that way. True story. Case in point: all the reactions here to a pair of android boobs on a mini--all this news, all these sculpts, and that's what we focused on? Congrats, fellas, crack a beer! The relevant question is not whether a man's "distracted by the sexy," but rather how badly is he "distracted by the sexy"? Mostly I wrote this post because I like the term, "distracted by the sexy."
