Starfire and Vixen are among the most popular comic books models. Starfire is a beautiful woman. She is often depicted as Brazilian. First of all it is the color of her skin, which is gold or yellow that makes her look Brazilian. Another factor is her clothes which look like a costume from Rio de Janeiro carnival. One of the greatest disadvantages of Starfire figure, which is very popular with its fans, is that it often falls down because of her ankle articulations.
Today, there are a lot of examples of comic books models. Starfire and Vixen are among the most popular.
Starfire, being one of the most popular comic books models, is often pictured as a Brazilian babe. Really, Starfire is a pretty woman. It is not her major asset but this is the first thing people remember about her. As the skin of the girl is usually depicted as gold or yellow, she is often associated with a Brazilian. Her clothes also remind the ones it is possible to see at the parade in Rio de Janeiro. She was invented by George Perez and Marv Wolfman in 1980 for the Teen Titans comic book.
Starfire is one of those comic books models who are sexy beautiful women with a face of a baby. Her eyes are big and her little face is sweet. As for her body, it is that of a supermodel. A lot of people consider her hair to be the most attractive part of her appearance. It is very long and curly. The costume of the girl is original metal and it barely covers her private parts. Nevertheless, it does not bother most of her fans.
As most of comic books models, Starfire has a very nice sculpt. The figure has smooth and strong biceps, large hips, lean and long legs. She is a real fighter. When she raises the fist of her left hand, we can't but remember her common victory poses. The right hand of the girl is poised in order to shoot some of the energy bolts.
The sculpt paint is one of the greatest problems. The costume of the girl is painted in purple metallic. But after three years of handling the costume shows wear signs. That is why those who have the figure are advised to avoid touching the places with metallic paint. It is recommended to hold her either by waist or by hair. There is no paint on them. It is also recommended to avoid touching the face and the legs of the figure because they are also painted.
Starfire is considered to be one of the tallest women in the comic books of Teen Titans.
There are a lot of people who would like to have the figure of the girl. Nevertheless, it has a very serious disadvantage. It is not stable. Those who collect the figures should be aware of the fact that when the figure of Starfire falls down it can topple other figures as well. Starfire never falls alone. She is a real expert in that. Most of the fans are sure that ankle articulations are unnecessary for the girl, because they make her unstable. As a rule ankle articulations are necessary in the case when the person wants to put the figure in a flying or swimming pose. But it happens very rarely. Traditionally the figures are played with for rather short moments. That is why ankle articulations are only a problem for most of the fans. One of the ways out is to put the figure on the base. That is why figures on the basis are more popular that those with ankle articulations.
As for Starfire, its base is not very good. It is made of weak plastic as well as the hair of the girl that bend rather easily.
Moreover, the figure of the girl has also articulations in other parts of the body. Besides, she is one of the first female figures that possess articulation. She has it at her elbows, hips and shoulders.
