Figure review time! Today’s figure review will focus on the very beautiful 1/8th scale figure rendition of Dizzy from figure manufacturer, Alter. Dizzy made her debut in the popular fighting game, Guilty Gear. The figure was originally released on April 2011. The one I got here is the December 2011 re-released version.
This figure is one of my most anticipated figures of 2011. Unfortunately, due to some financial emergencies, I didn’t make it to the preorder deadline. I was really happy when Alter announced that they will re-release the figure and yes, they released it again after roughly 7 months.
We all know the quality of Alter figures and this Dizzy figure right here is no exception. The quality of the figure is just amazing and Dizzy is really lovely to look at. One of my favorite parts of the figure is Dizzy’s somewhat innocent face. (well yeah, because she’s just 3 yrs old! Character bio below.) Alter really did a great job in sculpting and recreating Dizzy’s overall character design. I can say that this is definitely a spot-on figure rendition of her.
Before we jump to the actual review, let’s have a brief introduction of Dizzy as a character in the Guilty Gear game. In our previous review, we talked about the beautiful I-NO (which is also a character of the same game). I-NO is basically one of the bad guys, Dizzy on the other hand, is one of the good guys (correct me if I’m wrong here.). There’s really no solid info about Dizzy’s origins. The only information about her is that she was discovered by and old couple when she was still an infant.
I mentioned earlier that Dizzy was just 3 yrs old. Yes, that is correct. One of the unique characteristics of Dizzy was her accelerated aging. She aged from being an infant to her late teens in just 3 yrs. I’m just really not sure how her aging characteristic works because if she aged like that, she must be a super old hag right now, or worse, she might be already dead. Another signature characteristic of Dizzy is her 2 sentient wings, mainly named Necro (the grim reaper wing) and Undine (the angel wing). She uses these wings to attack and defend alternately.
I think that’s it for Dizzy’s character introduction. Let’s now move on to the actual review of the figure.






















Below are some final shots to close this figure review.






This figure is a great addition to your figure collection specially if you’re a fan of Dizzy or the game.It is by all means one of the best figure releases of Alter in their entire figure line. The sculpt, paint job, and just the overall rendition of Dizzy from head to toe is the reason you need to get this figure if you have the chance.
The only downside of this figure is the amount of space she needs for you to be able to display her properly. Aside from that, I really can’t see any negative aspects of the figure when it comes to its overall quality. Definitely a must have in your collection!
I finally saw her tail in detail. Nice review!
@Rhai: Thanks Rhai!!! \m/
good for you that there was a rerelease ^^
One of the reasons I didn’t ordered her in the end was the shelf space she would need to display her. Nevertheless its a very pretty partially cute figure with an overwhelming design. And I really like the adorable lizard tail of hers, so lovely (>◡<)♡.
The colors came out great with your setup, I didn't know that her stockings and tail were purple until now.
I guess the accelerated growth stops at some point, From what I know she's the outcome of a weapon experiment and therefore she has to grow up fast so she has her full potential when grown up.
@Wieselhead: Thanks much! WOW, I didn’t know that her accelerated aging has a purpose and It makes sense based on your description. Thanks for the tip! And yeah, I mentioned the very same thing on the review that one of the negative parts of this figure (based on my criteria) was how wide she is. She literally eats a lot of space on my display rack and that’s not a good thing for me haha!
Thanks for the nice review. I got my eyes on her for quite some time now. Love the wings, and this is for sure the part making her special. However she is freaking expensive for a 1/8 scale (150+ Euro here in Europe). Good to know the overall quality justifies the high price tag. She’s a ‘maybe’ for me – if I can get my hands on the upcoming Samus Aran Zero Suit, I will on Dizzy :-P
@Norm: Woah! is that the re-release version? But I think that price is somewhat accurate because I tried converting the price of this figure using our currency and converted it to Euros and the price is roughly the same. But yeah, I think what we are paying in this figure is the quality. I mean this figure is highly detailed though you will have a bit of problem when you try to display her because she’s a bit wide and occupies a LOT of display space :/
Hi are using WordPress for your blog platform? I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started and set up my own. Do you need any html coding expertise to make your own blog? Any help would be really appreciated!
Hi! yes, I’m using WordPress as my blogging platform. No :) You don’t need any coding skills to setup your own personal blog :) You just need to choose your WordPress Theme (there are hundreds available online for free) and activate it inside WordPress. Though, you have a bigger advantage if you happen to know HTML, PHP, and CSS coding because you can create your own personal theme from scratch using the WordPress Platform API.
