Alicia Florence from Aria the Natural is a classic beauty of the blonde hair blue eyed school of alluring. She possesses an easy-going smile, a peaceful aura, and a sense of humor, timeless qualities which fiercely need to come back into style. Alicia is the third in Toy Work’s series of 1:6 scale figures of characters from the truly wonderful Aria. This series of figures from Toy Works has so far been somewhat disappointing and it was my hope that they right their course with Alicia.

To me the Noizi Ito illustrations of Shana in GU-RE-N define what Shana looks like (rather than the animation), a look and feel that the Melon-Pan Shana released by Kotobukiya doesn’t quite capture. It was actually a nice a figure, but it didn’t satisfy me as a fan of Noizi Ito. Toy Works recently released a 1:8 scale pre-painted PVC Shakugan no Shana (in red and black hair variants) that takes a pose straight out of an Ito illustration. Clearly the intent was to capture the essence of Shana from the illustrations, a definite step in the right direction. So, does this figure get it right?
