Her face is gorgerous and very sharply painted, even though it’s relatively simple. The sculpt is detailed and she is properly muscular as a warrior princess, although there isn’t really much detail there to begin with. I’m used to the Figma/Figuarts scale but she towers over those figures. ![]() The first impression is that she’s remarkably big. So while I’m not absolutely certain whether she was worth the cost and wait, let’s take a look. She did end up being delayed for month after month, not to mention that she came packed with a blue dragon which bumped up the price even more, plus of course shipping and import fees. The company makes a ton of game figures, but I haven’t had the opportunity to get any until now. So even though I’ve rarely played any of the Golden Axe games in a good thirty years, Tyris Flare is rather special as a game character, and I jumped on the preorder of this brand new figure from Storm Collectibles. That she was running around in a tiny white bikini wasn’t a factor just yet. I probably played as Gilius at first, but soon discovered that Tyris was devastating with her screen-filling dragon magic. Sure, there was Metroid, but there really is no comparison between the NES game and the huge, detailed Frazetta-esque sprites of the arcade game and its 16 bit ports. ![]() Golden Axe, in its Amiga version, was probably one of the first games where I got to play as a distinctly female character.
