This figure is proof that Vertex only improves on their craft with every release. Camilla is the best release so far, IMO. She's gorgeous, thanks in large part to Mataro, the illustrator, who cannot do wrong. Everything about her is dynamic, and there is no bad angle to view this figure. Her hair, her chest, her cape/scarf, it's all flowing with the wind. I had no trouble with assembly, but that is because I am used to how finnicky these elf figures can be in regards to cast-off options. I can imagine that the sheer amount of parts might intimidate first time buyers, but it's worth it! Her standard edition base is matte black with blue text.
