ThreeA Ashley Wood Popbot XXXMas Tomorrow Queen - Tracey

The first exclusive (sort of) figure I got from 3A and this got shipped in record time ie within a month of ordering. And rightfully so since this one is suppose to be an X'Mas product and should be reaching us prior to X'Mas. Kudos to the 3A crew to be able to stick to their schedule and deliver this babe to me just 5 days before Christmas. It is a simple figure that comes in a body hugging red mini but am worried about the material used. Seems like in time to come, the glossy pleather like coating will peel. But before that time comes, I'll just enjoy it as it is.
Here I made Tracey a singer adding a mic for her.

Note : the mic does not comes with this set! 

Tracey came with 2 short katanas and a Soot Diver Bot head which Ashley Wood mentioned will never be reproduce on another Bot figure. Now that makes this set special. Tracey's sculpt isn't unique and it appears in a couple (or more) previously released TQs. So the unique Bot head is a welcome addition. In time to come, I will do a kitbash using that head... can't leave it severed all the time right?
Tracey also come with newly sculpted heels which does not appear in any other previously released TQ. Not a big change from the original sculpt but with an added sculpted in buckle. The body used is the same as all other TQs and it was said that Tracey will be the last of it that uses this body. A new female body was developed (or is in the process of developing) and will be used in the next 1:6 female figure that 3A is to release.
A simple set but somehow it doesn't look bare and imo is just right. Albeit the MSRP is a little on the high side (USD110 from Bambalandstore.com). Glad that I had get it when I was still making up my mind up till the last minute of the drop! And Tracey went "Out of Stock" in a mere 4 mins after it was up at the store...
