Boba and Darth Maul at least looked cool. Go-Go is just an asian girl with a huge beak.

When the company that is designing the Kill Bill toys approached Tarantino for permission, Tarantino said that he would only allow the line to be made if they included a Go Go figure & he had some say in designing it.

And I could understand all the GoGo talk. What's with your hatred of her?

Because they know their market. These aren't toys for little kids-- these are toys for adult male geeks. And adult male geeks like Japanese schoolgirls. (Note my post around the middle of the first page). I will without question buy a Go-Go. The others? Maybe, but only if I can get a really good price on them.

Buy a case, Ebay (okay, eBay... or ebaY?) the ones you don't want.

McFarlane might make detailed figures, but you know what I hate about those.. You are stuck in the position McFarlane likes. you can't pose them, you can't articulate them, you can't do anything with them other then have them sit there in the package position. blah, I like some choice on who black momba's sword is pointing and how go go is standing. atleast other companies provide some sort of movement.

She's ugly, annoying, has a crappy fight scene but yet recieves high praise from people for her role in Kill Bill. Other oversold villians (such as Boba Fett, Darth Maul, and the Twins from Matrix) at least looked cool and 2 of em even did cool stuff while on screen. Go-go doesn't do any of that.

I liked Go-Go. I liked it when she killed that one dude that wanted to penetrate her.

My like for her comes from Battle Royale. I would have preferred Kou Shibasaki, who was more ruthless in Battle Royale than Chiaki Kuriyama, but I can understand what Quentin was looking for. Chiaki can have that sweet innocent look one moment, to cruel, maniacal and sadistic the next.

There are very few exceptions for me... Art Asylum with the CTHD and Trek figures and this NECA company. Johnny Mo better be a figure.

I can live without articulation.. as long as they have good poses. McFarlane chooses some funked up poses at times. Especially when paired up with another figure.

Wow, is she not returning your calls? You sound like she personally did somethiing to you. She has a great evil, menacinig look juxtaposed by an innocent school outfit. A child with a young demenor countered by a deadly ability to wield a lethal guillotine is pretty damn cool & I'm sorry you fail to see that while it seems like everyone else does. And what on earth is annoying about her? She was great in KB & deserves all the praise. Everyone seems to see that but you.

thankfully no one is forcing you to buy her action figure. Like I said before, it's by the orders of QT to have her in the set and these toys aren't for young boys and girls. they know there target audiance, further more, you don't have to buy them, it's a pleasure to actually be able to buy them.

Is this a statue or an action figure? It doesn't look like it's 'poseable'

It looks great for an action figure, not that great for a statue though.

I think there should be more blood also- looks like she's standing on snow? (i.e. after she made the crazy 88 the crazy zero)

It's been a long time since Action figures have had much poseablity. But if you read the article, they have some ability to move around

"Crazy 88 have detachable severed limbs and an alternate right arm and hand for creating different poses."
